Private tutor in Melbourne, Australia
Education
Hi my name is Tim, I am a Chemical Engineer and Scientist.
Experience
Qualifications: Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical) (Hons, 1st Class) Bachelor of Science (Chemistry & Mathematics) Recipient of Monash Industrial Engineering Scholarship Top 15% in the Monash University Engineering and Science Faculties I have over 10 years experience in tutoring and I am familiar with the current VCE syllabus for: -Chemistry -Maths Methods -Specialist Maths -Further Maths - I teach students in Primary and Secondary school and in Tertiary courses (Prep - VCE - Uni) - Many of my students perform well in school and my senior students achieve great marks in VCE. Many tutors just provide assistance with the problems or a homework/study help service. However, I believe that effective tuition sessions are not only about "helping you with the problems you that you have trouble with" BUT also about "identifying what you DON'T KNOW you have trouble with." as commonly these will be the things that will catch students on tests even when they believe they have studied everything on the topic. My sessions are geared at supporting students by identifying these areas which will also allow even the best students to improve. Furthermore with my detailed knowledge and experience with the syllabus, I can teach the course independently in accelerated learning so I can support the students who wish to get ahead. Some of my current students study at: Camberwell Girls' Grammar Xavier College Caulfield Grammar School Trinity College Genazzano FCJ College Monash University - Bachelor of Science RMIT - Bachelor of Engineering Korowa Anglican Girls' School Balwyn High School Glen Waverley Secondary College

Hobbies
The tuition fee includes access to learning materials and practice exams. I understand that every student learns differently so my teaching is personalised and I use easy to understand analogies to explain concepts. Teaching is backed with notes that I have developed over the years and topic tests are provided to prepare students for their assessments. REMEMBER, It is never too late to start improving your marks and tutoring will make a big difference even if you are in year 12 right now! Progress reports are submitted to parents on a regular basis to inform them of the student's progress. My classes are focused on: -Strengthening understanding of current course material -Highlighting potential pitfalls and common mistakes. -Highlighting commonly examined test questions -Developing exam technique - a systematic approach to setting out questions and working to maximise your test scores -Classes can be flexible to cover either or both maths or chemistry to the needs of the student. Teaching rates depend on the student's year level. Please feel free to send me a text, email or to call me and I would be happy to discuss any queries you may have regarding tutoring sessions or the VCE course structure.
