I'm Ralph and I graduated as Dux of Knox Grammar School (Humanities) in 2025. I am going to study a double degree of commerce and law at the University of Sydney in 2026. Having just completed the HSC I know what it feels like to be stressed with the academic pressures of Year 12 and I'd like to help all students achieve their personal best by guiding them along this journey. Throughout my HSC I have refined and tested the most effective study strategies for each of my subjects in order to maximise my results whilst also being time efficient. I have a passion not only for learning new knowledge but also for sharing it with others. The mantra of my tutoring style is to focus the lessons around YOUR needs, which can include explaining any difficult topics in an easy-to-understand manner, going through tricky past paper questions, providing extensive feedback and marking on short answers/essays. I assure you that our lessons will be held in a safe, supportive and warm learning environment where you can ask me for help at any time! I believe that the secret to unlocking top marks and ranks is to continually ask questions about the content, so much so that there are no gaps in understanding left. Not only will I improve your conceptual understanding of different topics but I will also ensure that you can apply this in an efficient manner. What to expect for each subject: English Advanced (1984, The Tempest/Hagseed, T.S Eliot) - A step by step formula and structure that both internal and external markers love for essay writing that was paramount in my success as Rank 1 out of 250 Knox Boys including 20/20 essays in my first three assessment tasks - Note sets with paragraphs tailored to different questions and ideas for 1984, Tempest/Hagseed and T.S Eliot - Extensive feedback and marking for both short answers and essays - Bank of over 100 Past Papers from Private and Selective Schools - Quote banks and analysis Maths Advanced and Maths Extension 1: - Clear working out for difficult maths questions with explanations step by step! - Targeting a wide variety of questions for each topic area of weakness Legal Studies (Human Rights, Crime, World Order, and Workplace), Economics and Business Studies: - These subjects I excelled in through refining my writing style that ultimately allowed me to achieve state ranks for all 3 - Unique and structured approach to tackling short answers and essays to give markers what they want! - Access to my exemplar essays and trial exams (Ranked 1st in Legal and Business 96/100, Ranked 2nd with 97/100 in Economics) Pricing - $100 per hour - I also offer group tuition and we can negotiate a suitable price depending on how many students Logistics - For now lessons will be held online via Zoom Call - Free 15 minute online consultation is available for us to get to know each other and for me to understand your goals!
