Deniz
Hi everyone! I'm Deniz, and I've always had a passion for helping others grow in their learning. As a VCE tutor, I will aim getting to know you and how you best learn and study. In regards to VCE subjects, I will keep my teaching specific to the VCE study designs (as some textbooks are a bit dodgy, adding superfluous, confusing information that is never going to show up on the exam!) and give subject-specific tips on how to best succeed in a subject. I'm here to ensure that you are supported every step of your high school education journey!
I graduated from St Albans Secondary College with an ATAR of 99.65, receiving the subject DUX for Economics, Specialist Maths and Mathematical Methods. Now, I'm studying a Bachelor of Science/Master of Engineering graduate package at the University of Melbourne, still deciding what major I want to choose within the IT/Engineering faculty and have received the Hansen Scholarship.
Before beginning VCE, I was an average, middle-of-the-class high schooler, never selected to be my school's SEAL class (Selected Entry Accelerated Learning). However, as I immersed myself in academia and watched lots of productivity tips from Ali Abdaal and Justin Sung, I realised that you don't have to be a child prodigy/genius who understands anything immediately to score a high ATAR. Rather, I believe my entire VCE experience has taught me the importance of keeping a growth mindset (I know, cliché), being consistent with studies and that learning does not have to be a daunting and challenging process.
In my free time, I love reading books (notably The Three-Body Problem book series), binge-watching TV shows (current favs are Modern Family and The Office) and also playing Legend of Zelda on my Nintendo.
Let's work together and help you achieve academic success!
