Hi there! I'm Alicia, and I'm here to help you in your school journey.
I graduated with an ATAR of 99.40, with band 6 in all ten units and the top score of my cohort in Modern History and English Advanced. I'm currently studying a double degree in Commerce and Computer Science at UNSW. Outside of school, I usually fill my downtime with reading or listening to podcasts. I like to play guitar (badly) and embroider (messily) and doodle (spontaneously), because, hey, it's all about enjoyment. As someone who mostly made it through high school with the power of caffeine and friendship, I know the importance of a good teacher who cares. I've found the key to acing exams is not about last minute information cramming and essay memorising, but rather about understanding the content and finding your own personal interest in it. I have a passion for English and History, and whether you can't write a topic sentence to save your life or you just want that extra boost to reach the very top band, I'm here to help. My personal approach to tutoring is to tailor everything to you and ensure that you get the most out of every lesson. Some of the things I can provide include: - helping unpack questions and working through past papers - extensive feedback on essays and other writing - analysis of texts and understanding of content - probably too many historical fun facts My goal is to help you love these subjects; or, at least, not hate writing that first sentence as much. If you're looking for a tutor who can help you succeed, I'd love to hear from you! đź’•
