๐ท State ranking essays, resources, and exam/study techniques
Hey, I'm Murphy, and I graduated from The King's School in 2025 with a 99.95 ATAR. I am within the top few ranks in all my subjects, which allowed me to achieve high external HSC marks and a state rank. This year, Iโm studying a Bachelor of Commerce/LLB at the University of Sydney on a Chancellorโs scholarship.
I believe in teaching students the methods to unlock state-ranking marks outside of purely content knowledge. As a top performer myself, I have exclusive information and experience about exam techniques, what HSC markers are really looking for, and the most common mistakes that students donโt know that theyโre making.
But, I donโt just care about your marks, I care about helping you find motivation for subjects, feel supported every step of the way and balance study with everything else. I have personally balanced tutoring students, co-curriculars and leadership commitments with my own study throughout Year 11 and 12. Meeting with me will not only improve your results, but importantly, help you study more efficiently and make time for other things even during Year 12.

๐HIGHLY personalised lessons
I do not rinse and repeat resources for students. From my experience, if you are seeking one-on-one tutoring, I know that you are looking for a teaching style tailored to your needs. No lesson between two students is ever the same. I plan every single lesson according to what YOU need.
If youโre struggling to keep on top of content, or feel underprepared/overwhelmed, Iโll help diagnose your issues and build up the habits to ensure long-term success. Or, if youโre looking to push for that state rank and reach the top, I know exactly what it takes and have the resources and expertise to get you there.
๐UNLIMITED support
I know it can feel daunting revising content and piecing it all together outside of lessons. If you have any burning question during the week, I have you covered! This includes free detailed feedback on essays, homework, or anything in general. Iโll be there for you to ensure that you stay on track to get the result you want.
๐Exclusive access to UNIQUE resources
I have collated an extensive set of resources for the subjects I tutor, including quality past practice questions and worksheets. I personally used a lot of these materials to achieve my results.
But, on top of this, you get exclusive access to the resources I personally write every year. You will NOT find these in any trial paper. These mock exams will contain questions I think are likely to show up based upon past trends and include sample responses written by myself so you can see for yourself exactly how I would approach different questions.
๐Study methods schools donโt teach
I know that there is no โone-size-fits-allโ study method as everyone has their unique habits. But I do believe that, with the right guidance and optimisation, I can give you actionable steps to study more efficiently, motivate yourself during hard times and set reachable goals. Even during Year 12, it is important to make time to enjoy yourself and reward consistent study by doing what you enjoy. You will feel more productive and motivated as a result.

My teaching begins by identifying the underlying barriers to a studentโs progress and building the strong foundations needed for lasting success. Whilst content is increasingly accessible and well understood, students often miss critical steps in the learning process that go unnoticed until much later. From my experience, these obstacles are especially difficult to self-identify, as they often feel instinctive or habitual. Whether it is writing style, content gaps, study methods or anything else, I start by building a firm foundation.
After that, I will make sure you master the basic skills and concepts. There will be no stone left unturned: I will assign homework, regularly test during class and scrutinise the details until I am sure you fully understand everything.
Finally, application. Itโs well-known that grinding past papers for Maths and Sciences is the best way to study, but in my opinion, it is even more crucial for English and Music. Applying your content knowledge to quality HSC style questions written by myself is the best way to improve real exam performance. By emulating exam conditions, question types, giving constant feedback and doing it all again many times, you will feel like the actual assessment is a walk in the park. Seriously, I mean it! By exposing myself to an extensive amount of questions, I felt highly confident walking into exams and you will too.

Throughout high school, I have participated in, adjudicated, and prepared students for a wide array of Debating and Public Speaking competitions. Whilst you can be sure that this has given me communication skills that will ensure you can properly understand difficult topics in lessons, I am one of the most qualified people to help you in similar competitions. If you are looking to make the Senior A debating team, earn a state/national placing at a major public speaking competition or even participate in a Model UN, I have done it before.
