Although it isn't easy to admit, it is true - in my years of education, I was never the type to instantly, intuitively, magically understand new concepts right off the bat. It took lots of reviewing, relearning, conversations with school teachers, restless nights, to get to where I am today. I am here to guide you and hold your hand against teachers who change their minds on what makes a good Mod C piece from guideline to guideline, work with you to piece together countless essay scaffolds, and provide the highest quality, custom-made resources for you. ๐——๐—ฒ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด / ๐—˜๐˜€๐˜€๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐—–๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ / ๐—ฃ๐˜‚๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—ฆ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด I have progressed to the team consisting of the top 12 debaters in NSW in 2026, reached national finals for the UN Voice Youth Competition and won awards in multiple national history competitions and commendations for Cambridge essays. ๐— ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด / ๐—”๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ / ๐—œ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„๐˜€ / ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ / ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ In addition to tuition for subjects, I offer mentoring services, for students who are comfortable with learning content, but need a bit of a boost to maximise their potential. This includes time management, academic planning, setting realistic goals, a realistic analysis of strengths and weaknesses to focus on in each subject, consulting services for overseas applications, interview support for leadership roles or scholarships. As someone who had a 100% success rate in scholarship interviews to PLC Croydon, Tara, Ravenswood, SCEGGS, Ascham, Meriden and of course, Pymble, I am confident I can prepare your child for any scholarship application and interview. ๐—ฅ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜€ $60/hr for group tuition (price negotiable for 3+) $60/hr for mentoring $80/hr for one-to-one tuition * All include: Unlimited marking, feedback and emailing/messaging
