Hello! I'm Cathy. I graduated from Methodist Ladies' College as dux of 2016 with a perfect ATAR of 99.95 through the International Baccalaureate Diploma program. I am currently studying at University of Melbourne: Doctor of Medicine (MD). I graduated with Bachelor of Biomedicine Chancellors' Scholar (with H1 honours) at University of Melbourne (2017-2019), majoring in Neuroscience.

The IB program is so great in the way that it allows students to develop attributes and life-long skills that go well beyond simply academics. I believe that my success in IB thrives from constant co-curricular involvement, forcing me to strategically manage my time and study efficiently. I wish to pass on my knowledge and expertise to more students so that they too can succeed and achieve their goals.

For me, the key to IB is strictly following the syllabus points and understanding every concept from the foundations.

As a former IB student, I truly understand the challenges this program poses for students. I believe that as a tutor, I can pinpoint the key aspects that students need to grasp and minimise their workload. I truly think that studying should not be a mechanical bore, rather an engaging and active process.

My tutoring focuses on what the student wants to work on, with each session tailored to suit individual needs. I will get to know each student personally as I believe productivity stems from communication and understanding. The smile from a student after finally nailing a difficult question is what gives me, the tutor, such great joy.

I am no genius, but I am motivated and hard working. I believe that with enough determination and effort, there is no such thing as "not smart enough".

I am currently offering online tutoring over Zoom due to COVID-19. Please contact me for more details :)

Experience

I have tutored over thirty Year 11/12 IB students throughout the past three years, with many achieving a 7. I have tutoring experience in the following subjects: HL/SL Chemistry, HL/SL Biology, HL/SL Economics, SL Maths and SL English Literature.

I have also helped students in younger years with either preparing for IB or laying down foundations for more advanced study in English, Maths and Science.

I provide comprehensive notes as well as sample IAs which scored very highly. My tutoring style allows for either one-on-one or group sessions (up to 3 students).
