ABOUT ME

I graduated from the IB program in 2018 with a score of 45/45 (ATAR equivalent: 99.95). My favourite subjects were English Lit and Economics. For this reason I chose to do my 4,000 word extended essay In English A Literature (score: A/A).

I also offer tutoring for IB Bio SL. In the beginning, I found this subject challenging and less enjoyable. However, by Year 12 I had really come to love Bio and found new ways to learn and study effectively in this subject. I am now studying a Bachelor of Biomedicine at the University of Melbourne on a Chancellor’s scholarship.

I hope that I can encourage and inspire a love for English, Economics & Bio in future students. I achieved high 7s for all components of these subjects, including 24/24 for my Bio IA. I have experience in tutoring for these 3 subjects and hope to continue supporting students to achieve their academic goals.

During the course of 2019, I worked at an independent school in England. Every day I would spend approx. 3-4 hours in the primary school, particularly with the priority reading and maths children. This consisted of 1 to 1 sessions working on their skills. I found this aspect of my job particularly rewarding, especially when I was able to see the progress my students made in a year.

MY LOCATION, COSTS AND AVAILABILITY!

Due to Covid-19 I am currently conducting all lessons over Skype or Zoom. The transition to online tutoring was very smooth and I have found that I am still able to engage with my students effectively. For Y3-Y10 students I charge $50/h and for IB students I charge $60/h.
