Riveen
Hello!!
My name is Riveen Abeywickrama and I'm currently a medical student at Monash University. I thoroughly enjoy my degree, but I could only get here because I was able to manage my time and perform well in Year 12. My absolute favourite subjects were Chemistry and Physics, both of which I achieved A+ merits for. And now I have the opportunity to impart my skills and knowledge to you so you can do the same (or even better!).
I've been on both ends of the tutoring spectrum, from getting tutored all throughout high school to educating my own peers on complex concepts. These experiences have taught me the value of tutoring to a student's learning journey, and have shaped my understanding of what qualities make an EXCELLENT tutor.
This includes:
- Maintaining a structured and consistent lesson plan (with learning objectives so that you know exactly what will be covered in each lesson)
- Delivering information in small bite-sized chunks and checking your understanding at every step (the goal is to teach - not lecture)
- Being open to questions, even outside tutoring hours (because no question is too small)
Contrary to popular belief, I do have a life outside of uni. I enjoy spending my free time playing piano or trombone, and even the occasional tennis hit. Netflix is also an all-time favourite of mine.
Hopefully I've got your attention now, and if you're interested, shoot me a message. I look forward to speaking with you - have a nice day!
