💥 99.85 ATAR 💥 99%ile UCAT 2530/2700 💥 99 in Maths Ext 1 💥 Sydney Grammar Economics Prize Winner 💥 ABOUT ME I finished Year 12 at Sydney Grammar School in 2025 with a 99.85 ATAR, spread across six subjects: - Maths Extension 1 (99) - Maths Extension 2 (94) - Economics (97, George Arthur Loxton Memorial Prize) - Chemistry (94) - French Continuers (97) - and English Advanced (93). I also sat the UCAT and scored 2530, putting me in the 99th percentile. That spread wasn't an accident. I like keeping a wide range of subjects going at once, and I think that's actually the best thing I can offer as a tutor: instead of finding a separate specialist for maths, a separate one for science, and another for humanities, I can cover most of a student's timetable myself. Outside class I was a Peer Support Leader, involved with Future Leaders for Gender Equality, and a finalist in the NSW Monetary Policy Competition, so I know what it's like to keep a full academic load going alongside other commitments, and I try to help my students do the same rather than burn out chasing marks. WHAT I OFFER 🔹 One tutor, several subjects Maths Ext 1, Maths Ext 2, Economics, Chemistry, French Continuers, English Advanced, and UCAT prep. If a student needs help across two or three subjects, they don't need to juggle two or three different tutors. 🔹 Sessions built around the actual student I don't run the same lesson plan for everyone. Some students need to close content gaps, some need exam technique fixed, some are already strong and just need pushing toward the top band. I plan for whichever of those is true each week. 🔹 Support that doesn't stop when the lesson ends Between sessions, students can send me essays, problem sets, or questions and get proper feedback back, not just a quick reply. 🔹 Practice under real exam pressure Across every subject, the biggest gains come from working through exam-style questions under timed conditions and getting detailed, specific feedback on them, not just re-reading notes. That's what most of each lesson goes toward. 🔹 A tutor who's actually sat the UCAT 2530 puts me in the 99th percentile. I can work through strategy for each section, Verbal Reasoning, Decision Making, and Quantitative Reasoning, with techniques that actually move the needle under time pressure, not generic advice. MY APPROACH First, I figure out what's actually holding a student back, whether that's a content gap, a technique issue, or a study habit that isn't working. A lot of the time these aren't obvious until they start costing marks. Once that's sorted, I focus on making sure the fundamentals are genuinely solid through regular homework and testing. From there, it's exam-style practice, marked properly, again and again, until the real thing feels routine. RATES 📍 One-on-one: $100/h 📍 Group sessions: Ad hoc rate
