Hello, Guys! 👋
Hi! My name is Madeleine and I graduated from Queensland Academy for Science, Mathematics and Technology (QASMT), an IB school in Brisbane. I'm currently studying a Bachelor of Commerce and Laws (Honours) at the University of Queensland, pursuing my goal of working in a field centered around helping people!
In high school, I was involved in many leadership roles and clubs, but also chose subjects that I loved learning about and studying. Although infamous for requiring a lot of hard work and time, I quite enjoyed my time studying the IB, all thanks to the tips and tricks I learnt along the way. Particularly, I learnt the importance of targeted study and learning methods, specific to the subject and the way I learnt. This stopped me from just trying to cram every single syllabus, but instead, helping me to actually understand what I was learning!
This has influenced how I teach, as I understand that every student is unique, with different goals and needs. My teaching is personalised to each individual, whether that requires topic-based worksheets, more visual learning, practice exam-style questions or anything in between. My goal is to create a place where you feel comfortable bringing your questions, in a friendly, relaxed and helpful environment.
Aside from my studies, I love being outdoors, playing and watching sports (particularly basketball), and reading. I've had a lot of volunteer experience working with students in both Primary and Secondary, and believe that empathy, patience and great communication is the foundation for good teaching. I look forward to seeing you grow in confidence, improve in your results and actually understand what you are learning!
I look forward to hearing from you soon!
