Bio

I am a hard working student, always striving to achieve the best marks that I can. However, I also love to play sport and believe that a balance between work and play is highly necessary.

I can explain concepts in different ways and am often able to picture them visually. I find that explaining visually helps students a lot. In high school my friends often asked me to help them because I was able to help them visualise problems.

Subjects

  • School Tutoring

Chemistry

Grade 1 - Grade 12

Chemistry has always interested me. I enjoyed it all through school. I have not tutored before but had students at school often ask me to explain outside of class. I enjoy explaining to people & helping them to understand what I find so interesting.

Physics

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I am lucky because I can easily picture problems in drawings. This helps me understand and grasp concepts. I find that pictures help. I believe that this skill helps a lot and that it enables me to explain in a way that other students can understand.

AP Maths

Grade 1 - Grade 12

High school Maths was always my favourite subject. I am able to picture things visually. This skill helped me and helped me explain to my fellow students. I'd like to try help people who struggle with Maths by tutoring and making it more interesting.

Statistics

Grade 1 - Grade 12

As said above, I did Statistics as part of Maths. The mark above is for Mechanical and Statistical Mathematics. This was the combined result. My motivation is the same as for my Maths, as Statistics, was the same subject as Pure Maths at school.

  • University Tutoring

Chemistry

First Year

I felt as though I had a slight advantage in 1st year compared to some students by doing Cambridge. I understood the content and I think it is because of the way we were taught to learn more independently. I believe I can help tutor and motivate.
