Hello, Guys! 👋
Hey, I'm Natasha!
I graduated Presbyterian Ladies' College with an ATAR of 99.00 and with 5 study scores of 40+, including a 49 in English (top 0.3% in the state) and a 43 in Chemistry (top 3%).
Currently, I am studying Science/Engineering at the University of Melbourne. Outside of studying, I love to try to get good at (key word: try) literally every sport, crochet, and try to eat every food ever (I am much more successful with this one).
If you are reading this right now, I know you probably feel a bit nervous, maybe even stressed about the big year 12 (or 11) that you have ahead of you, but don't worry, I felt exactly the same as you!
The biggest takeaway that I learnt in year 12, regardless of how high you aim, is that "school is only stressful if you make it stressful". This sounds a bit silly if you consider all the content you you need to learn for your subjects, tests, SACs and eventually exams, however thats where I believe I step in to reduce the stress by preparing you well for assessments, building confidence, and ultimately help you reach your goals :)
I was someone who was lucky enough to have great teachers, but also discovered and self-taught the ins and outs of my subjects, which helped me continually improve across the year. This however also helped me recognise, and value the importance of nuturing a holistic learner, creating you (the student) to be someone that feelsr confident with their content knowledge, be flexible in approaching and answering any type of SAC and exam question but also have refined personal study techniques, critical and adaptable thinking; skills that will also continue to aid you outside of year 12.
So, how can I holistically support you?
Well, I can:
⭐️ Identify your goals, areas of weakness and create roadmaps to help you achieve your desired results
⭐️ Tailor each lesson to you and your preferred study methods, to make the content more engaging and feel less of a chore!
⭐️ Give you an in-depth, well rounded understanding of the content so you are equipped with the knowledge to tackle any type of assessment question
⭐️ Break down any concept into more digestible portions
⭐️ Provide access (and walkthroughs) to a plethora of notes, worksheets and questions according to your needs
⭐️ Help develop study techniques which work for you so you can continue to improve outside of our lessons but also have time to have fun outside of school!
⭐️ Techniques to approach exam questions and formulate responses the examiners will love
⭐️ Help you practise enough that each time you see a question, you know exactly how to respond 🥳
⭐️ Most importantly, celebrate all your victories, no matter how small so you walk into every assessment proud of your growth, confident and empowered
My biggest priority is meeting your needs as I know every student is unique. I am very flexible and can adapt my forms of teaching so that it is easiest for you to learn and develop skills that you also value.
So, if anything I have said (which is a lot oops sorry) has interested you, please reach out to me!!
I look forward to hearing from you :)
