Hey everyone! My name is Dale, and I'm here to help you get through the trials and tribulations of high school with the best academic results possible.
I am currently a medical student at Griffith University (Gold Coast campus), having previously acquired a Bachelor of Medical Science in 2021. As such, whether you are a budding pre-med or a student wanting to fill in those pesky knowledge gaps, I am your go-to guy for all things Biology and Chemistry, and have extensive experience in tutoring these subjects at all year levels.

But what about my time in high-school?

During my time at Maroochydore State High School, mathematics and the physical sciences were always areas of interests for me; however, I found that my most effective study was done out of the classroom. The reason for this is clear: self-directed learning cultivates understanding of academic concepts, rather than rote memorization. I often found it frustrating when teachers would explain concepts in vague, unclear terms, with little to no discussion of the actual applications of what we were learning. Therefore, as a tutor, my primary focus for my students is to provide resources and strategies that encourage critical thinking and deductive reasoning, in order to develop a learning framework that they can carry with them well after our tutoring sessions have concluded. Confidence is the name of the game - and with it, learning becomes a privilege, not a chore.

By optimising my study strategies in high school, I managed to score top marks in my grade for both Biology and Chemistry, and ultimately attained an ATAR of 99.75. It took a lot of trial and error of different study techniques and many hours of external study to get these results - luckily, I'll help you develop the right study schedule and elucidate any concepts that you find difficult to understand, so that you don't have to waste your after-school hours perusing the depths of the Google algorithm. Cheers!
