Hi! I'm Alyssa and I graduated from Abbotsleigh with an ATAR of 99.05. I’m currently on an Advanced Mathematics Scholarship at UNSW, studying a Bachelor of Commerce.
In year 12, I really loved my subjects especially Business Studies (96), Maths (94, 96), and Modern History (95), and I hope to pass on my knowledge and passion for my subjects, because as a tutor, I believe it is important for my students to look forward to tutoring lessons, rather than dread them.
As I didn't have a tutor in year 12, I had to learn the skills and study techniques needed to achieve my dream ATAR, while finding a school-life balance, and I aim to share this with my students because I understand that year 12 can be a stressful year.
Additionally, I can relate to many students, as I've always struggled with procrastination, and in my Task 1 HSC Maths Advanced Exam, I received 68%. But with efficient and effective study techniques, I was able to achieve a mark of 98% in my final exam. I aim to cater my teaching style to meet the specific needs of students, to find the most efficient way for students to achieve their own goals.
I also aim to create a supportive and stress-free environment, where students are able to ask any question without judgement.
When I’m not at uni, in my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my friends, travelling with my family, reading, or watching cricket and tennis.
I am happy to hold tutoring sessions at libraries in UNSW or my stated locations.
