Hi, I’m Ben and I graduated from Knox in 2025 with an ATAR of 99.80. Here are the subjects I teach:

Year 11/12
- English Advanced
- Economics
- Maths (Advanced, Extension 1 & 2)
- Chemistry

Year 7–10
- English
- Maths
- Science

In Year 12, I served as Head of Academics (Prefect) at Knox Grammar School, organising study skills seminars and supporting students across Years 7–12. I’ve helped students who previously scored 12/20 reach 18/20 within one term.

More than just weekly tutoring 💻
When enrolled, students receive their own login and access to an online student platform (LMS) I built, including:
✅ Untimed & timed practice with comprehensive feedback
✅ Mock exam simulations with comprehensive feedback
✅ Academic guidance for students who may be unsure how to study
✅ Online homework submissions
The goal is simple: to support students through their diverse academic journeys and give them a strong chance of achieving their dream marks, wherever they are and whatever their starting point.

Here’s my approach for each subject:

English Advanced ✍️
Students receive weekly notes for their texts, focusing on high-yield techniques across form, structure and language. I teach the framework that helped me achieve 20/20 in the years I ranked first in my year.
✅ Essay formula & structural framework for top-mark responses
✅ Essay, short-answer & creative writing feedback through the LMS
✅ Mock exam simulations through the LMS

Economics 📈
Rather than following the syllabus chronologically (1, 2, 3, 4), we approach it in a more logical order (3, 4, 2, 1). We focus heavily on short-answer structure, which helped me achieve 40/40 in the HSC, alongside essay planning and exam application.
✅ Topic-organised past paper bank (MCQs, short answers & essays)
✅ Essay marking through the LMS
✅ Mock exam simulations through the LMS

Mathematics ADV, X1 & X2 📚
Lessons focus on understanding theory, identifying weaknesses and applying concepts through past-paper questions.
✅ 100+ past papers from 2020–2025 across NSW schools
✅ Error-log template & exam strategy resources

Chemistry 🧪
We focus on building conceptual understanding and applying knowledge through questions across all modules, supported by comprehensive notes and past papers.
✅ Comprehensive Year 11/12 past paper bank
✅ Modules 1–8 notes organised by syllabus headings
✅ Exemplar internal & external assessment papers
