Bio
Howzit, I'm Zarret! I'm a generally chilled guy, but I take my work seriously. When I'm not grafting the books, I'm either in the gym or spending time with mates... or maybe wasting time on YouTube.
I am very patient. I have had practice with tutoring by helping my friends in the boarding house with their academic challenges. I enjoy the task of breaking complex ideas down into simpler ones, and this is what draws me to tutoring. I am skilled in my subjects, and I know how they can be manipulated to be easier to understand. Mostly, I value the feeling of helping others reach their goals.

Subjects
- School Tutoring
Mathematics
I have always excelled in maths. My average has never been below 90% and I have received multiple subject prizes in it, including the highest achievement in maths in grades 9, 10 and 11. Maths comes naturally to me, and I am also quite good at teaching it, having often helped my friends with it.
Physical Science
Physics has always been my favourite subjects. Formulas, calculations and logic are all things I love dealing with, and it is this love that I hope to pass on to my students. I received an award for the highest average in the sciences in grade 12, and the highest average in physics in grade 10 & 11.
Information Technology
IT is one of my favourite subjects. I received the prize for the highest average in IT in grade 10 and 11, and I was in the top 1% for IT across all of the IEB. Coding comes naturally to me, and I am comfortable teaching it. I would prefer to teach this over the theory part of IT. I teach Java only.
English
I was in the top 1% of IEB candidates in English. I have always had a talent for writing and speaking, and spelling and grammar come naturally to me. My essays often perform very well, and one of my essays earned me acceptance to Harvard University in the USA.
Life Sciences (Biology)
Was in the top 1% of IEB biology candidates at the end of 2021 and consistently achieved marks above 90% in all assessments.
