Marcus K.

Hi, my name is Marcus. I am currently studying the Bachelor of Advanced Finance and Economics (Honours) at the University of Queensland, and I graduated from QASMT (Queensland Academy for Science Mathematics and Technology) in 2025. I achieved: - 42.5 final IB score - Equivalent to 98.55 unadjusted ATAR and 99.95 adjusted ATAR - Cum Laude Academic Achievement award (2025) Subjects offered for tutoring: - Mathematics AA SL, 7/7 final grade - Psychology HL, 7/7 final grade - Sports, Exercise and Health Sciences HL, 7/7 final grade - Chemistry HL, 7/7 final grade - English A: Language and Literature, 7/7 predicted mark with consistent high 7s across grade 11-12 - TOK (Theory of Knowledge), received an A with a minimum 8/10 TOK exhibition - Sport Exercise and Health Science EE (Extended Essay), one mark off an A What I can provide: ✔ Personalised learning strategies based on your strengths and areas for improvement ✔ Exam-style practice under timed conditions to build confidence and accuracy for external IB exams ✔ Structured, goal-oriented sessions tailored to the IB syllabus ✔ Access to full collection of IB final past papers from 2010 to 2025 ✔ Access to question banks that replicate real IB question styles ✔ TOK exhibition and essay review Overall, the IB isn’t about studying hard 24/7, as that often leads to burnout and diminishing returns. Instead, it’s about having a tailored study plan that works for you and focuses on studying smarter, not just longer. Rather than passively rereading notes for hours, effective preparation means actively practising exam-style questions, reviewing mistakes carefully, and identifying patterns in what examiners are looking for. Having just completed the IB, my goal is to use resources and strategies that made my studying more efficient, to help you increase your confidence in examinations and your grades to a 7.
