Brisbane tutor in Chemistry, EAL, English, English Literature, Maths, Maths Methods, Physics, UCAT

Hi everyone! My name is Ella, and I graduated in 2022 as the Dux of my school with a 99.95 ATAR. I was also Dux of Year 12 English, English and Literature Extension, French and Chemistry (which I studied as an accelerated subject while in Year 11). I achieved a UCAT score in the high 99th percentile of 3390, with a perfect 900 in Verbal Reasoning.

I am studying a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) with Provisional Entry to the Doctor of Medicine at UQ. I have tutored students in a variety of subjects since 2018, including providing additional support to disadvantaged and rural students during the Covid-19 lockdowns of 2020-2022.

I take a holistic approach by improving study habits, time management, translatable skills and balance in addition to a targeted and methodical academic focus. I strongly believe that performance correlates with confidence, and as a tutor, I aim to provide a safe and non-judgemental environment to acknowledge and tackle weaknesses.

In 2024 I am not offering private tutoring, but will instead be offering small group masterclasses on internal assessments. These masterclasses will provide a comprehensive breakdown of each assessment item into segments, guiding students to produce structured, precise and concise work. I provide a personalised experience, with opportunities to receive tailored examples and feedback for each student despite the group setting. More details below:

CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS IA2 MASTERCLASS
This masterclass should be taken shortly after receiving the assignment and preferably before experimenting begins.

Students will leave with:
- Tailored scaffolding questions for writing theory in the rationale. - A scaffold for writing about the original experiment, modifications and theoretical relationship in the rationale.
- A strong research question for their task. - A structure for writing modifications with reduced words.
- A list of risks and mitigation strategies. - A list of data to collect during your experiment. - A sketched table for collecting raw data efficiently.
- An understanding of the requirements for a table of sample calculations.
- An understanding of the requirements for processed data.
- An understanding of how to create a graph using Excel satisfying all the QCAA requirements. - A comprehensive list of scaffolding questions for analysis.
- Justified extensions, redirections and refinements for their task.
- A list of justified risks and mitigation strategies relevant to their task.
- Three random and three systematic errors for their evaluation. - Logically derived improvements for their random and systematic errors.
- Logically derived extensions with justifications.
- A structure for writing a strong conclusion with minimal words.
- Practice finding academic sources and tips for making a bibliography stand out.

CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS IA3 MASTERCLASS
This masterclass should be taken shortly after receiving the assignment.

Students will leave with:
- An understand of the requirements for evidence for the research task. - Practice searching for and identifying academic sources.
- Scaffolding questions tailored to their rationale. - Practice writing a specific and relevant research question.
- A structure for a concise evidence section.
- A comprehensive list of scaffolding questions for analysis.
- A structure for a concise evaluation section.
- A list of suggested points for evaluation.
- A structure for a concise recommendations section.
- An understanding of how to logically derive improvements and extensions.
- A list of suggested improvements. - A list of suggested extensions.
- A structure for writing a strong conclusion with minimal words.
- Practice finding academic sources and tips for making a bibliography stand out.

METHODS IA1 (PSMT) MASTERCLASS
This masterclass should be taken shortly after receiving the assignment.

- A strong introduction for their PSMT including context and aim.
- An outline of their plan/mathematical procedures including technology, evaluation techniques and basic steps.
- Five relevant and documented observations.
- Five relevant and documented assumptions.
- An understanding of the required mathematics and technology usage to get full marks.
- A detailed scaffold and structure for the solve section of the PSMT.
- Suggestions for strengths and weaknesses in the evaluation section.
- A list of strengths and weaknesses tailored to their assumptions and observations, expected mathematical process and real-world factors.
- A structure for a clear and concise conclusion.
- An understanding of what needs referencing in a PSMT.
