About Me: Hi, I'm David! I'm a current University of Queensland student studying a Bachelor of Advanced Finance and Economics, where I hold the UQ Academic Excellence Scholarship. I graduated from Sheldon College in 2025 with an ATAR of 99.85, having served as Music Captain, Band Captain, and Academic Prefect. I have over two years of experience tutoring high school students across Brisbane's southside, and it's something I'm genuinely passionate about. There's nothing quite like the moment a concept finally clicks for a student who's been struggling — that's what keeps me going. My Grade 12 Results: Mathematical Methods - 99 (Completed Grade 12 Maths in Year 11 - Accelerated) Physics - 100 (Highest Score in QLD) Chemistry - 98 Economics - 95 Specialist Mathematics - 96 Overall Raw ATAR - 99.85 (99.95 adjusted) How I Can Help You: I tutor Mathematics Methods, Specialist Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, and Economics for students from Year 9 through to Year 12. Whether your child is falling behind and needs to rebuild their confidence, or they're already performing well and want to push for a top result, I'll meet them exactly where they are. Every student learns differently, so I don't use a one-size-fits-all approach. I take the time to understand what isn't clicking and why, then we work through it together in a way that genuinely makes sense to them. Sessions are built around a mix of real conceptual understanding, working through past papers, and sharpening exam technique — because knowing the content is only half the battle. What Sets Me Apart: Having achieved a 99.85 ATAR myself, I sat these exact subjects not long ago, so my knowledge of the current Queensland syllabus is fresh and relevant. I know the tricky parts, the common mistakes students make, and what markers are actually looking for — because I've been through it myself. I also genuinely enjoy these subjects, and I think that comes through in sessions. Students tend to engage more when their tutor is enthusiastic rather than just going through the motions.
