Mrs DIANA HATOUM - Bankstown/Canterbury, Sydney

In the Tertiary Preparation Course (TAFE's equivalent of the HSC for mature students looking to gain University admission) I completed at Ultimo TAFE in 2005 I gained perfect scores in Chemistry and Advanced Calculus and a near perfect score in Biology and Physics. I then went on to complete a Bachelor of Science at the University of Sydney where I studied Advanced Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Microbiology and Biochemistry.
My specialties are Maths (General, Maths and extension 1), Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Arabic. I have experience in helping year 1 - 12 students improve in these
areas and pass their exams. So far, my students have done well and their parents are extremely pleased with the results they have achieved.

I am patient, nurturing and have a great ability to explain complex concepts simply
so that they can be understood by students of all levels and abilities. I've been through the stress of studying and know how important it is on many levels to do well and succeed. I am also fluent in both English and Arabic, so can be of great value to students and parents who's primary language is Arabic and have difficulty understanding English. I am available Monday - Friday afternoons and Saturday morning. I live in the Bankstown/Lakemba area and am available to either come to you or for you to come to me.

I can provide students with past exams and worksheets to help them understand and achieve their best.

Experience
Currently I am tutoring HSC level students in Maths and Chemistry and first year uni chemistry. I am able to provide assistance to all levels from infants through to first year university in Maths (General, 2 and 3 unit, Calculus and Algebra), Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Arabic. So far, my students have showed great improvements in their results and confidence.
I am fluent in both English and Arabic.
