Derek C.
Private tutor in Melbourne, Australia
Education
Achieved a scaled study score of 47 in Literature, 43 in Psychology and 42 in Biology for VCE. Finished as the highest ranked student in my Year 12 Literature Cohort, and top 3 in Biology and Psychology. I am in my fourth year of studying a double degree in Science (APAC Accredited Extended Major in Psychology) and Arts (Literature/Philosophy) at Monash University. Currently maintaining a High distinction average (84.147 WAM, 3.905 GPA).
Experience
I place emphasis on taking a relaxed and fun approach to studying, as I believe one must first learn to enjoy and feel the texts/subject before they can hope to achieve well. Now that I understand the ins and outs of the VCE standard and marking scheme, I am more than able to develop each individual's unique writing style and voice, to maximize marks and astound the assessors. I invest top priority in all my students and am willing to cater for each individual student's needs by comprehensively studying their chosen texts- even going as far as buying a copy of their texts to ensure that I can provide maximal support in any way possible.
