All I remember was shouting at the top of my lungs “MUM, DAD.” I scared the sh*t out of them I yelled so loud. They didn’t even know why I was so ecstatic.It took so long to sink in and to just say the words: “I did it. I don’t know how but I got a 99.95 ATAR”

Hi there!

My name is Joanne :) I’ve been a maths tutor for almost 4 years now, and I hope that I can help you in your journey to understand what can be a tricky field.

If you feel like you are falling behind in Maths and just can’t keep up or you just don’t understand what’s going on, I can help you. I have an effective and easy-to- understand teaching style which will focus on: helping you understand maths, how to write good articles, improving your weaknesses, whilst also refining your strengths. I will create a personalised plan to help you achieve your goals. I have plenty of resources from kindergarten to senior years, which I will tailor to your needs in the most efficient and enjoyable way possible.

I have worked at a tutoring college, where I helped Year 12 students develop their mathematics in Extension 1 and 2 (HSC equivalent of Specialist Maths and Maths Methods). I also currently tutor students in Victoria. In addition, I have participated in many Australian maths competitions, including the UNSW Mathematics Competition (my photo is still displayed on the main page of their website).

I currently study Medicine at Melbourne Uni, but I love to go to the gym and go on hikes in my spare time. I also love photography!! (I have way too many photos on my camera roll).

Benjamin Arya

Hey, my name is Benjamin and I graduated high school in 2019 as the two-time Dux of Brisbane Boys’ College with a 99.95 ATAR, and near-perfect study scores in all of my subjects.

Currently, I am a Chancellor’s Scholar at the University of Melbourne studying a Bachelor of Biomedicine (Chancellor’s Scholars) and Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) Program.

I have now tutored over 30 Year 7-12 Students in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, English, Further Maths, Maths Methods and Specialist Maths in person or online.

I’ve also mentored dozens of students with Year 12 Study Skills and Strategy Consultations over the phone.

Trust me, I’ve been there before. That was me not so long ago, a year 12 student feeling stressed, directionless and worried that when I got my ATAR text at the end of the year, I’d be left disappointed, broken and questioning what the future would hold.

But I made it. And I can help you do the same!

Hi! My name’s Lauren and I live and breathe business studies. In between studying a Bachelor of Commerce/Finance at Monash University and listening to my favourite Business podcasts, I spend my time helping VCE students ace Business Management I completed the VCE in 2017 at Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School achieving an ATAR of 98.80 and a study score of 50 in Business Management. I was also awarded a VCE Premier’s Award for the subject and the Business Studies Prize at Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar.

Since finishing high school, I have delivered lectures, tutored and written study guides for VCE Business Management and other commerce subjects. I aim to offer my VCE Business Management students information that relates the course to the real world – and hopefully, this will make your studies seem more interesting as well!

Jack Li

Hi! My name is Jack, and as a recent high school graduate, I know exactly how you must be feeling towards your own VCE journey. All the pressure you’re put under by your school, parents and yourself to do well will lead to a lot of one-nighters and stress throughout the year. I had my fair share of these moments when I was in Year 11 and 12 and my goal is to use my own experiences to ensure that you will be able to study in the best way possible and also have enough time to do the things you love.

While I was completing VCE, I juggled studying with playing in the firsts team for two sports, a lot of music rehearsals and school leadership duties. I was forced to organise my time extremely well and my busy lifestyle pushed me to find efficient and effective ways of studying. I learnt how to condense and breakdown concepts quickly and I believe I can maximise your academic potential and study efficiency.

Now that high school is over, I am studying Biomedicine at The University of Melbourne. Although I’m terrible at it, I enjoy playing tennis with friends and I also love to go for runs and play badminton.

Shameen Gaffoor

Hi students! My name is Shameen and I am undertaking a double degree in Economics and Law at the University of Sydney! As you can see from the subjects I tutor, I have an absolute obsession with mathematics. Although it sounds crazy, I really do love maths and it shows in my HSC results with a state rank in Mathematics Advanced (99/100) and Mathematics Extension (49/50)

My aim for lessons is to first develop a strong foundation of knowledge on basic mathematical concepts. After this has been established, we can work towards getting ahead of your class so you are familiar with the concepts before they have been taught to you by your teacher! I think it is important to strike the perfect balance between going ahead in class, but still ensuring the content is relevant to your upcoming assessment! We can work together to map out the order your school teaches maths topics in so that we can construct our lessons accordingly :)

Trust me, I have a HUGE pile of resources for mathematics that I would love to share with you. So if you are interested in Mathematics tutoring, regardless of your year level (primary to high school), you are more than welcome to contact me!

Aedan McMahon

I'm a current medical student with GPA 7, who graduated in 2015 with a high OP1 (ATAR 99.85). I've had over a thousand hours of experience in tutoring Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Maths Specialist, Maths Methods, English and German over the past five years. I was in the top 5 at BSHS, the biggest secondary school in Queensland, for every one of these except English (though I achieved a VHA 8 and ranked in the top 10 regardless). Since finishing school, I have obtained a Bachelor of Medical Science with Distinction (cumulative GPA 7). I'm now also employed as a tutor in Medical Anatomy as well as Neuroscience.

I believe my results with students speak for themselves, with my past students including a Dux of Brisbane State High School and Young Entrepreneur of the Year. In addition, I’ve specifically coached numerous students into a career in medicine. My approach to content sets my apart from other tutors, in the that I focus on making sure my students truly understand content at the deepest possible level rather than advocating simple memorisation. I also weave through my lessons principles of studying, taking exams and doing assignments to maximise effectiveness.

Hi! My name is Tamsyn and I graduated as Dux of Strathcona BGGS in 2019, with an ATAR of 99.90, including a raw 50 in Chemistry. Having just completed VCE, I am familiar with how stressful it can be. However, I am also very aware of how a calm, consistent approach with attention to keeping on top of key concepts and how to apply them, can lead to success.

I have a passion for Chemistry, but completely understand it is not everyone’s thing! I also have a strong knowledge base, having completed first year university maths and chemistry. Having already helped many peers with both the basics and intricacies of Chemistry, I would love to help you understand the mysteries of Chemistry and achieve your goals.

Akanksha Das

Hi, I'm Akanksha and although it has been almost 3 years since I graduated, it still feels like yesterday that I was stressing out because I hadn't done enough prep for my exams, or the fact that I hadn't gotten enough sleep.

For me, the experiences that a student has during high school shapes them and impacts who they are for the rest of their lives. During my time in high school, I was a very confused student. Not only did I not understand content fast enough, it was hard for me to study properly and to manage my time, and I had difficulty focusing and remembering why I needed to study. We all have moments at some point in our lives where we think we aren't going to do well enough or accomplish our goals. My aim is to use my own experiences to help you study in a way that helps you unlock your potential, help you to become more confident about the things you learn, and help you gain skills that you'll take through your life.

By the time it got to my WACE exams, I knew how to organise my time well, how to revise concepts efficiently, and how to identify my strengths and weaknesses in a subject easily. I believe that I can help YOU reach your potential.

A little about me: I am currently in my third year of a six year pathway in the Doctor of Medicine at UWA. However, I spend most of my time watching my favourite movies and tv shows such as The Office (US version only)- even when I'm at uni :P, dancing, and playing the piano and the ukulele.

Here's a small selection of our top tutors. Click on their profiles to read how they found the keys to success at school, and how they can help you do the same!

Here's why bringing a friend to lessons is an amazing idea:

Accountability is key

Keep each other accountable

They say "if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together"

Studying and doing tutoring with a friend is a great way to keep up accountability and enjoy lessons even more. You've got someone to bounce ideas off during lessons, discuss difficult homework tasks with and tag-team difficult questions or assignments

Collaborate and motivate

It's easier to succeed together

Working in a team environment is a life skill students will need forever, no matter where they end up in life. Working together with a friend is a great way to encourage new and diverse ideas, reinforce communication skills and build a great team dynamic.
It's an environment that gives you the best of both worlds: a lot of attention from your tutor + someone to work towards success with

As a year 11 student doing ATAR, I was looking for a tutor that could help me with French. KIS Academics was incredibly helpful and fast at finding me a wace french tutor who could assist me with my studies. My tutor Eliza Carey over the past few months has helped me so much not only in French but in biology and maths as well. I’m incredibly grateful for the effort and commitment she has put into helping me be more comfortable and less stressed about the subjects I was having difficulty with. It’s been nothing but an honour to be tutored by Eliza and I strongly recommend her as a tutor
