About Me
I graduated Haileybury College in 2021 with a 99.95 ATAR, and I am now in the final year of my Bachelor of Science at the University of Melbourne, majoring in Pure Mathematics, alongside a concurrent Diploma of Languages in Japanese. I have extensive experience tutoring privately since 2021, supplemented by additional work in classroom settings at schools and tuition centres. Past students have described me as patient and helpful. I primarily tutor VCE maths and physics, but also provide support in year 9 and 10 maths, computer programming, and a variety of university-level maths and physics subjects.
I am available in person near Bayside, Parkville, or the CBD, and alternatively online via Zoom.
I charge $80/hour, with discounted rates available for financially disadvantaged students.
I have a valid Working with Children Check.
My Approach
I strive to offer support to all kinds of students, from those who have fallen behind to those looking to excel. My past experience helping a wide range of students achieve and exceed their goals allows me to personally tailor my teaching to fit each individual. Everyone understands things differently, so when working with a new student I pay attention to (and ask!) which styles of explanation click and which don't, adjusting my teaching accordingly. As a general theme, I tend to place an emphasis on why something is true and seek to build an understanding of the thought processes that could have led one to come up with the idea themselves. I provide advice regarding study skills alongside concrete strategies to help students revise more effectively on their own. For VCE subjects, I use insights from VCAA examination reports and each subject's study design to help students nail commonly overlooked details.
My VCE Results
I achieved a 99.95 ATAR, with raw scores of 49 in Physics, 49 in English, 44 in Specialist Maths, and 46 in Maths Methods.
Other Services
In addition to high school and VCE tutoring, I also am able to provide assistance at a university level. University of Melbourne subjects I am familiar with are listed to the right. I can also help with similar subjects at other universities, though I may be less familiar with the marking criteria.
I am also experienced with a range of programming languages including C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Rust, C#, and more. I can provide assistance to students interested in learning to code.
