About

Hi. I am Andy Nguyen, an experienced tutor and a qualified secondary teacher in Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, and Vietnamese at VCE Unit 1 - 4 level, as well as Maths and Sciences for Year 7 - 10. I am also a fluent Vietnamese speaker and I would love to help anyone who is interested in learning this language, either for leisure or academic purpose. To tell you about myself: I graduated from Brunswick Secondary College as the Dux of 2013 with an ATAR score of 99.15. The VCE (raw) study scores I received for subjects which I teach are: + Chemistry (44) + Math Methods (44) + Specialist Maths (36) + Vietnamese (43) Here are several other achievements I was awarded: + Outstanding Academic Achievement Awards in Chemistry, Math Methods, Specialist Maths, English & Vietnamese + Participation in The University of Melbourne's Extension Program in Mathematics + Participation in Monash University's Chemistry Challenge Program + Participation in Monash University's Leadership Workshop for High Achieving Students + VCE Top Scorer in Vietnamese As of 2020, my other qualifications include Bachelor of Biomedicine (with Honours) and Master of Teaching (Secondary) at the University of Melbourne. I am currently a qualified secondary Science (Chemistry & Biology) and Mathematics teacher. For me, tutoring and teaching have always been a fulfilling experience. It provides me with the opportunity to reflect upon my knowledge, to give back something good to students, and to inspire them with a sense of enthusiasm and commitment. I have a strong passion for education which I would love to share with you, so I will always look forward to supporting you to achieve your greatest learning potential. Depending on your academic background, I will focus on solidifying fundamental concepts, clearing up misconceptions, and exploring many strategies that help you perform to the best of your ability and avoid making mistakes. For some subjects, I have a vast collection of worksheets and notes, which were personally prepared by myself as practice/revision materials. I am highly approachable and able to answer any questions related to any subjects outside the lesson times. While online tutoring (via Skype, Zoom, Google Meets, etc.) is currently my preference, I am more than happy to conduct face-to-face tutoring either at your home, University library, or a suitable local library. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to shoot me a message. I currently have a valid Working with Children Check and a Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) registration. Apart from teaching and tutoring, I enjoy DSLR photography, solo backpacking, and spending quality time with my family and friends. I also love getting involved in volunteering and social works, to help people in need and contribute my efforts towards charitable causes.

Reviews

Andy was one of the greatest tutors I had. He tutored me in chemistry, a subject which I thoroughly dreaded studying for. Andy made chemistry enjoyable and interesting for me, offering strategies which I hadn’t been taught in the classroom and consolidating my knowledge. His knowledge is impeccable and thorough. Asides from his excellence in tutoring, Andy was very very flexible with his tutoring times and always made an effort to see me with my full on schedule. He is truly an an amazing tutor with very admirable skills and a great personality.

I came to this tutor close to a month prior to my 3/4 Chemistry Exam, with low expectations, given that he would accept me in such a short amount of time. Within this period of time, I saw my exam results increase from 27% on my first trial exam to 80s. He has very strong knowledge content wise and how to cater to each individual student

From our first session, I was beyond impressed by Andy’s professionalism and overall calibre. His preparation and knowledge exceeds that of many VCE teachers I’ve come across, including those specialising in Maths Methods and Chemistry, of which I specifically covered with Andy throughout the year. Over time I noticed Andy and I’s relationship becoming more unreserved and easy-going, allowing me to look forward to tutoring and feel as though I was being taught by a fellow friend. I could not have made it through the year without Andy. Not only did I re-learn the core basics of each subject, but detailed tips that have immensely helped me in my studies and assessment performances. His enthusiasm and desire for his students to succeed is unmatched. I couldn’t recommend Andy more!

One of the best, knowledgable tutors anybody could ask for. His enthusiasm, effort and willingness to help will certainly help you achieve the desired goal during VCE. He'll push you to do your best, and that's what's going to keep you motivated throughout the year. Thank you for an awesome, and encouraging year Andy! :)

Highly recommend Andy, he is a fantastic tutor! He provides worksheets as extra revision tools, always is prompt, and accessible via message if needing any further assistance. Breaks content down very well and makes it easy to comprehend. Only regret was that I didn't have him as a tutor from the start of year 12.
- By Reannan Vella on 12th November 2019

Andy Nguyen is an exceptional tutor! He's incredibly knowledgeable and flexible. Without his assistance year 12 would have been full of hardships. Thankfully, he was able to provide his expertise in both chemistry and mathematical methods. Not only does he assist me in weak areas, he also makes me familiar with the content providing tips and extended knowledge to educate me as much as possible on the area of study. He's also extremely dedicated to ensuring that I was prepared and confident with both the upcoming sacs and exams. Due to his assistance I could definitely see an increase in my results. I would highly recommend Andy as a tutor! you won't be disappointed!!

Andy was overall a great tutor. He was very understanding when it came to the pressure, expectations and workload associated with year 12 studies. He was flexible when it came to our tutoring sessions and happy to make adjustments when I was sick or had upcoming SACs. Andy provided me with a range of resources, including extra notes and practice questions that allowed me to better prepare for the SACs and end-of-year exam. My grades improved significantly since he became my tutor and I am incredibly grateful for his hard work and dedication. Thank you Andy!!

- By Faith A. on 15th November 2017

I needed some tutoring support for Chemistry and Anh was able to assist broadly and very informatively. Anh had excellent communication and organisational skills and always ensured the topic that was covered was efficiently grasped. My grades improved considerably in Chemistry. I highly recommend Andy as a tutor for his diligence, patience and flexibility. Thank you Anh!!
