How HSC works and how to prepare for it

Hi! I'm Connie, and I've had over a year's experience tutoring students just like you, so whatever help you need - from building a strong foundation for a subject, or needing a push over the edge to excel even more in a subject you're already acing - you can be confident you're in safe hands with me. My goal is to make sure you achieve your fullest potential, and I'll be with you as both a tutor and a friend every step of the way.

Early on, I didn't have a consistent mentor figure who'd gone through the same difficulties I was experiencing in school. I struggled to balance my education with the rest of my life and it felt like a lonely battle against serial procrastination, strict deadlines and a lack of motivation to study. Luckily, my teachers played a huge role in helping me pull myself together when I reached out for help, so I hope to be the same mentor figure to you, as they were to me. With my students, I always try to foster a comfortable learning environment that helps build individual and critical thinking skills, focusing heavily on applications of theory and how to improve based on the feedback I provide each lesson. My longer term focus is to help them develop a positive, healthy and sustainable relationship with studying that is unique to the way they learn, a mindset that will help them beyond their high school years. 

I also strongly believe that academics, whether you're a high school student in your final year or not, is something that needs to be well balanced alongside the other aspects of your life. Else, you'll just get burnt out really quickly. Personally, I like to balance my studies with travelling every so often, making art, and hitting the gym -- all of which I usually try to do with my friends and family. And now that you know a little about me, I hope I can get to know you as well! I really look forward to meeting you and watching you thrive :) 

Hi! I'm Angela, and after going through the 5 stages of grief repeatedly during my time in school, I'm here to make sure you don't have to do the same!

I'm currently studying a Doctor of Medicine at UNSW, after graduating from James Ruse Agricultural High School with an ATAR of 99.90 and 95+ marks in all my subjects. But, don't be fooled, HSC was definitely a bleugh experience for me as well. So, I would love to use my own experiences (both as a high achieving student and as a tutor with 200+ hours of lessons taught) to streamline your academic learning and get the results you want with less of the struggle!

I believe that building a solid foundation of understanding in any subject is the key to avoiding that painful last minute panic-study. Ever feel like your school teachers don't make sense? Whereas schools tend to teach in a generic memorisation-heavy approach that might not work for you, I can cater lessons to your learning style specifically and structure lessons to focus on conceptual understanding! I also believe in strategic approaches to learning, so I'll always take you through exam tips and the most high-yield content!

Wondering how online lessons work? I conduct all lessons via zoom video calls, alongside screenshare/shared online whiteboard, depending on what works for you! To let you focus on learning during the class, all lesson notes are neatly collated and emailed after lessons, along with any practice questions/homework if you would like extra resources.

I'm here to be your 'emotional support tutor'! Having been through the grind myself, I want to make your academic life easier and make sure you don't have to panic study for 6 hours every day. Whether you need extra support, assessment help, or want to get ahead, I'm more than happy to help! :)

99.85 ATAR | 2nd in NSW Extension 2 Maths |

Hi guys! I have been tutoring for over 3 years now and graduated with an ATAR of 99.85 attending Sydney Boys High School. I'm currently studying Doctor of Medicine at Griffith University.

During high school, I was constantly involved in extracurricular activities, training for and playing sport basically every day, while maintaining a very high academic standard. This made me very efficient in the way I had to study, making sure I had a very thorough understanding of the concepts by developing techniques that would make them easy to understand and help maximise my marks.

The way I studied is reflected in the way I work with students, not only teaching them complex concepts in a more simplified manner, but also helping them build habits that yield consistent performance beyond high school as well. My teaching style and homework provided is tailored to each student's needs, ensuring that they receive the proper attention they need for all facets of their education.

I also offer very comprehensive online tutoring, as I have a writing pad which allows me to actively immerse students in lessons the same way I would face-to-face. At times, online tutoring can be more convenient and effective, and if needed I can provide students with a writing pad to further this experience.

As it approaches final exam season, I have spots available for both individuals and groups to take advantage of specialised exam revision sessions to maximise marks for final exams.
