About

Hey! I’m James, a UWA electrical and electronic engineering graduate who's currently working as a senior engineer within the utilities sector. Graduating Year 12 with a 95.45 ATAR (best subject being English with a scaled score of 83.9), I have been tutoring primary and secondary school students since 2014. As a former North Shore Coaching College teacher, I also have extensive experience teaching in a classroom environment. Lessons begin with students informing me of the topic(s) they are learning at school, raising any queries or difficulties associated with them. The rest of the lesson time will be spent resolving these concerns and ensuring that sound understanding of the topic(s) are achieved. I'm a patient person and will ensure a solid understanding of troubling concepts, regardless of how long it may take. RATES: * Online tuition: $60/hr * Home visits: $80/hr

Reviews

James is a very patient tutor and makes sure to thoroughly explain how he has done certain things, even using visuals to help you follow along as to what he is doing. He has helped me prepare for multiple tests and exams for science and mathematics and has even provided me material for me to practise and revise after sessions. In the end, having him tutor me helped me become more confident in the subjects I wasn’t the best in and ended up with improved grades and recognition from my teachers, which included in me receiving academic awards for these subjects I believed I was average in. Highly recommend having James as your tutor.
