Education

I am a friendly, down to earth person who really wants to make a difference in the quality of education Australia wide and possibly beyond. I am 100% devoted to all the students that I teach and really want them to achieve their academic dreams! I do not only teach my students - but I develop excellent rapport with them, this ensures that they are not petrified of asking me questions and always feel like they can approach me with any type of problem they may have. I have a vast amount of interests these including traveling, philosophy, psychology, reading, writing, teaching, business as well as personal development. I am very curious about how things work and integrate this into my teaching style - to ensure that students see the bigger picture. Within private sessions, I progress through the entire curriculum with the student with a close focus on question answering techniques. This enables students to understand how to convert their knowledge of their topic, and translate it into practical use. Quite often, a student knows the theory, but can't connect how it needs to be used when answering a question! This is very frustrating for many students, because the practical side of their studies are not developed well. In addition to this I have a passion about teaching students to build self-confidence, a healthy self-image, their ability to tap into self-motivation which are skills that are important for a lifetime! These factors determine the level of educational success obtained by individuals and therefore I find it absolutely imperative to integrate it into the tutoring sessions.

Experience

I am a tutor because I love teaching and interacting with students. I am passionate about keeping things simple and explaining concepts in a logical way - without avoiding the details. I believe that a good teacher needs lots of patience, interest in the subject and a passion to communicate ideas in a clear way. My goal is not so be "smart and superior" in a lesson - it is to HELP the student to UNDERSTAND what is occurring. This allows my students to know the information - instead of remembering useless facts. -12 years of consistent tutoring experience -Led VCE revision seminars -Author of VCE Comprehensive Study notes -Speaker at The Age VCE Expo - Teacher at intense VCE classes
