Overview:

I have been tutoring a variety of students throughout the Illawarra and Sydney region since graduating St Mary Star of the Sea College in 2018. I am personable, optimistic and encouraging. A great tutor is someone you can trust, someone who guides you and someone who can mentor you through the ups and downs: someone who has been there themselves.

I graduated as the Dux of St Marys in 2018, scoring an atar of 99.05 and placing 1st in 5/6 subjects. I graduated receiving the following awards:

- Overall Academic Excellence
- Sports Award
- The Sister Maureen Patricia Daley Award for Excellence in Religion (1st Place) - The Bev Rigby Award for Excellence in English (1st Place) - University of Sydney Future Leader's Scheme (predicted Dux based of internal assessment marks)
- Principal's Award - House Spirit Award

About me:

Over the past few years I have been studying a Bachelor of Laws/Arts at the University of Sydney (Dalyell Scholars) and have worked as a Law clerk at a commercial law firm in King Street, Sydney. I have recently completed my Honours in Art History and I intend to complete a PHD in this field. Alongside my academic endeavours I train as a national athlete, competing in track and field for Athletics Australia. Sport is a central part of my life which I pursue alongside my academic goals.

I offer tutoring for the following year 11/12 subjects:
- English Standard
- English Advanced - English Extension 1
- English Extension 2
- Modern History - Visual Arts - Studies of Religion 1 and 2 Units
- Society and Culture
- History Extension

Extra
- LAT (Law Admission Test - UNSW)
- Public Speaking


About the sessions:

Sessions run for 1 hour and are on a long term basis (minimum 1 term). Students wishing to be tutored must be committed to working hard and achieving their best possible results. I will teach you how to understand your content and appeal to the syllabus, as well as perfecting your exam technique. I am happy to proof read work that has been completed outside of our tutoring session (free of charge). Payment can be made upfront for the Term, or paid weekly.
