Hi! My name is Teodora, and I've been tutoring for over 8 years, yielding great progress and results with a band 6 average for the subjects I tutor. I have worked closely with over 150 students in this time, and weekly I assist between 20 and 30 students, both during and after class hours. Last year, I started my own tutoring business (thetutorau) to expand my reach to more students alongside like-minded tutors!
Previously, I worked at a selective high school in the Sydney CBD as a tutor, and have also contributed to an online HSC forum, ATARnotes.
Education:
I graduated from USYD in 2019 with a combined degree of Advanced Science and Economics.
I graduated from SCEGGS Darlinghurst in 2014 with an ATAR of 97.2 and alongside my tutors, offer teaching for any subjects from years K-12!
All my tutors, as well as myself, have been teaching the new syllabus since it was introduced, and am very familiar with the requirements and expectations.
**Please note that all lessons are being conducted online due to Covid-19 restrictions**
What we offer:
Online tutoring for all subjects K-12!
During high school I learnt that you can never go over an idea too many times - hearing the concepts you learn at school in different ways is really helpful to make sure you fully understand all ideas and can apply these to any exam question. We focus on the requirements of the new syllabus to make sure everything is covered.
We work closely with our students, tracking their progress so we can tailor lessons accordingly. We are often in constant communication, happy to answer any questions over email/text outside of class hours. We also develop homework sheets for subjects such as maths and science to complement lessons and ensure content is fully understood. If additional help is required nearing exam blocks or assessment task due dates, we offer flexibility to allow for extra or longer sessions.
Online lessons are conducted via skype/audio call, onenote or google docs, and screenshare if necessary. This is offered for all subjects, including maths! The lessons conducted here are the same as in person, and allows students who can't make it at a certain time or who live far away to still get the benefit of private teaching. They are great for time flexibility aswell, as we am willing to have online sessions as early or as late as required (so this is perfect around exam/assessment time as well as regular lessons). Anyone around NSW with a computer and wifi is able to sign up for these lessons.
Current lesson rates are as follows:
Y9-12: $80/h
Y7&8: $75/h
YK-6: $65/h
Additional online help:
I offer my detailed Preliminary and HSC notes (i.e. years 11 and 12) to all of my regular students free of charge, however they are also available for purchase to anyone. Notes are for:
*English Advanced (my essays, creative writing etc).
*English Extension
*Biology
*Economics
For each subject: $10 per module, or $30 for the whole year.
Additionally, we offer one-off essay/creative/report editing:
--> $20 for a general overview
--> $100 (recommended) for extremely detailed feedback of what to remove and include, with rewording of ideas to make sure they are concise and answer the question, as well as the syllabus dot points. Also includes a detailed breakdown of the exam question, structure suggestions, and a summary of the context and main themes of the text.
