Hello reader, my name is Jake and I'm currently studying Engineering and Science at Monash University! I graduated Dux of Algorithmics at John Monash Science School, and am one of only 118 in my graduating year to get 40 or higher raw study scores in every subject I completed in my twelfth year. I also received the Jackson Award for Chemistry from the Rowe Scientific Foundation in my first semester of university!

I believe that balance is one of the most important part of school, especially towards graduation. Students deserve to maintain a social life and fulfilling hobbies/pastimes throughout their education. As a tutor I aim to guide my students through finding study methods and workloads that they can maintain without overworking themselves. Burning out is always worse than slackening the reins for a few weeks.

I spend my downtime practicing archery, reading sci-fi novels or non-fiction, and making jewelry out of both metal and wood materials.

I have close experience with both sides of learning mathematics, as while I love maths and have grown very familiar with Year 12 and below mathematics, I used to struggle a lot, and disliked the subject greatly. As such, I hope to be able to meet students where they are, rather than standing at the top and demanding they climb up.

In addition to the subjects listed on this page, I can tutor VCE Algorithmics, and give advice on admissions into the entrance exam for John Monash Science School specifically.
