Experience Supporting Students to Higher Education:
* Student who I tutored in HSC (Australian A-Level equivalent) English, Maths, and Economics who went on to be accepted into the competitive Bachelor of Commerce course at the University of Sydney
* Student who I coached for Oxford PPE Personal Statement and Interview prep went to the interview round for the University of Oxford
Examples of Tutoring Approach in Practice:
* Younger students: I find building confidence is the foundation of any healthy learning atmosphere. I try to make the sessions enjoyable with humour and games. I also foster the idea that the student is only competing against their previous test scores.
* Older students: I want them to find more independence in their learning. I will assess which areas of the curriculum they are currently weaker in and will go over those meticulously in a collaborative and encouraging way. I want my students to feel pride in their work, push themselves for excellence, and feel the sense of achievement from making tangible progress.
