About

Hi! I'm a recent Knox Grammar graduate from the Hills District with 3 years of tutoring experience, and I'm heading into medicine in 2027. My results I was awarded Dux of the School (STEM) at Knox in 2026. I accelerated in Mathematics Advanced, placed 7th in the state, ranked 1st in my school cohort of 158 and received the school prize for Mathematics Advanced. I also scored 2610 in the UCAT (99th percentile). In Year 12 I ranked 1st in my cohort in Biology (with the school Biology prize), French Continuers and French Extension, and placed 2 of 108 in Mathematics Extension 1. I also received a High Distinction in the Australian Mathematics Competition. Final HSC results are out in December. What I tutor HSC Mathematics Advanced and Extension 1 UCAT preparation for students aiming for medicine Biology, English and French for Years 11 and 12 All core subjects for Years 7 to 10 My teaching style I focus on understanding, not memorising. I explain why things work, then build skills step by step until students can solve problems on their own. Every lesson is tailored to the student, whether that means filling gaps from earlier years, getting ahead of school content, or polishing exam technique. For HSC students, I use past papers and marking guidelines so students learn exactly what markers look for. For UCAT, I teach the strategies and timing techniques that helped me score in the top range, plus plenty of timed practice. Having just finished the HSC myself, I know the current syllabus well and understand the pressure students are under. Rates Years 11 and 12: 90 dollars per hour Years 7 to 10: 75 dollars per hour UCAT preparation: 110 dollars per hour Half price first lesson for referred students, and a discount for paying a full term upfront. These are introductory rates until the end of Term 1 2027. Location I tutor in person within 20 minutes of Middle Dural, covering most of the Hills District, or at a local library. Online lessons are available anywhere at no extra cost. My Working With Children Check application is currently in progress. Send me a message and we can organise a free 15 minute chat to see if I'm the right fit!
