G'day My tip is in reference to Yr 12 actually (i thought i'd put it in here, as u guys will b there soon, and prolly would wanna know this in advance!) If you're looking for good good marks in HSC, & u're willing to put the effort in to achieve it, a good guideline would be 15 min / unit...

haha i wouldn't suggest answering "Law"! Well, at least show that u're open to other possibilities - that u do wanna see wat science professions are like and where would it lead u... (just say that verbatim!) In terms of leadership skills, yeh, past experience is a very good indicator...

From memory, u have to go thru 2 interviews. 1 is with ur Rotary Club, whose sponsorship & approval u need to attend the conference. Then u go to a group interview, where they will select the suitable candidates. I'm not exactly sure on the stats, but i THINK it's 1 in 5 applicants...

Those are all very good points made there. Indeed, self-motivation & hard work is very very important if u wanna get high marks. About the value of tuition, the need for it, & the "effects of spoonfeeding", i think it's very dependent on the individual. You sound like u're a smart...

G'day I went to NYSF in 2002. It's an awesome experience, to get to meet heaps of interesting like-minded (uhh.. not necessarily geeky!) ppl from all around aus. U spend a lot of the days visiting science institutes, research centres, industries, universities - going on tours & trying...

Oh soz, din answer all ur questions b4. Textbooks.. ell, the one i got atm is Conq Chem. It's pretty good in having succinct info, and most of the info u need. However, it is not entirely comprehensive - it is missing some bits, and has some bits u dun need (as does all text books)...

G'day hey, soz i haven't been here for a while been real busy lately... with the HSC coming up and all. Soz, even tho it's too late now, i din have ne time n the hols, coz they were all for my current students. I'm actually quite full atm, with my current students., esp. with the HSC...

Name's Lawrence who's ur friend? =)

I'm not saying that this tuition is cheap. Yes, others may be cheaper... at the same time, as I said b4, many of my friends (from James Ruse) charge a lot more. Now I believe that with certain tutors, you do pay for what you get. If you get a good tutor, it may be worth the cost. If you...

I understand, Iyamahobbit (nice name, btw) Strathfield can be a bit far away for some people. Most of my students live nearish to Strathfield, so yeah... makes sense. In reply to Kimmeh, yeah... i do med, and it is pretty busy. that is why i don't intend to take too many students - i only...

in reply to kimmeh, yeah... i know i sound confident I should be confident, shouldn't i... becoz.. well, if i'm not confident, then how can YOU have confidence in me?? I AM confident bcoz i've tutored several students for a while now, i've seen the results, got positive feedback from them...

yeah, well that's what he said, and... well, if u think about it... it sorta makes sense. I mean, why would he be coming for 2 hrs every wk, for the whole year? why has he (well, they...) been taking extra lessons these wks as the exam approaches? (and working my ass off, btw) Furthermore...

Well, i've got 4 year 12 students atm, and i've had them for the whole year now... and they seem to quite like it. I recently asked one of them if it was worth it, and he said "well, that's why i keep coming!" I know plenty of tutors who charge for more than $40... 3 of my friends charge...

G'day Ryan thanks for the suggestion yeah, i have thought of selling my notes... tho, i thought ppl would get more out of it by actual tuition, and i'd b able to help them more.. but not just giving them notes, but explaining things, and teaching them far more than the content of the...

G'day folks soz u guys i haven't been checking the msgs very regularly been pretty busy recently, especially with the HSC exams coming up... been tutoring 9-3 on the weekend, and only just finished (2 students) today. I live in Strathfield, so yeah... hope it's close enuf for ya. My HSC...

G'day it's $40 / hr, which is pretty cheap compared to other professional tutors out there. If you want to check it out, i can give you 1st lessons for cheaper, just for u to see how it is, if u like it, if it's useful or not, etc. But yeah, normally, $40 / hr.. for private one-on-one...

yeah, thanks Sarah, I've just realised, so put a thread (the same one) in there... thanks! =)

CHEM TUITION! G'day, how're u guys enjoying school? =P Well, been reading the posts u guys have had. I'm actually a chemistry tutor, and have been tutoring for a year now, with 4 HSC chem students currently. They've all been with me for nearly a year now (depending when the've...
