USYD Arts/Law | 99.85 ATAR | 4 State Ranks (First in Course) | Band 6 in 7 Subjects | Sydney Grammar School I am a high-achieving University of Sydney student currently completing a Bachelor of Arts / Bachelor of Laws, with a major in Italian Studies. I graduated high school with an ATAR of 99.85 and achieved state ranks of 1st in Italian Extension, 2nd in Italian Continuers, 2nd in French Extension, and 3rd in French Continuers. I have a genuine passion for languages and learning, and I enjoy helping students build both confidence and strong academic foundations. I tailor my tutoring to each student’s needs, whether the goal is improving exam technique, mastering content, or developing a deeper understanding of the language. As part of my degree, I completed a year-long exchange at Bocconi University in Milan, where I studied management and finance entirely in Italian. This experience strengthened my academic Italian, cultural understanding, and ability to explain complex concepts clearly—skills I bring directly into my tutoring. I find tutoring highly rewarding and take pride in supporting students to reach their full potential through structured, engaging, and encouraging lessons. Having completed the HSC recently, I have a strong, current understanding of the syllabus and assessment requirements, allowing me to offer focused and relevant support for students in Years 7–12. In addition to individual tutoring sessions, I provide: Help with homework and tailored feedback on students’ work Support with editing and improving written responses Access to my own comprehensive notes and exam-focused resources Ongoing assistance outside of lessons, with students welcome to ask questions at any time HSC Results 2023 Italian Extension: 49/50 (Band E4, 1st in NSW) Italian Continuers: 98/100 (Band 6, 2nd in NSW) French Extension: 47/50 (Band E4, 2nd in NSW) French Continuers: 97/100 (Band 6, 3rd in NSW) English Advanced: 90/100 (Band 6) Geography: 94/100 (Band 6) Mathematics Advanced: 93/100 (Band 6) Mathematics Extension 1: 44/50 (Band E3)
