Hey everyone,

I am a qualified teacher, having taught at a public school in North-West Sydney since 2007.
I specialise in teaching Physics to capable students who want to further improve their skills and overall achievement.
I am looking for capable, motivated, hard-working students to join my classes for the 2013/14 HSC Course.

I put as much effort into my tutor students as I put into my actual highschool students and offer a great deal of support beyond the 2 hour lesson, including assistance with assessment tasks free of charge and free revision sessions prior to trials and/or assessments.

For those concerned about ATAR or University results, I achieved a UAI of 99+ and a WAM of 83 in my B.Sc (Nanotechnology)


Credentials

  • Completed my tertiary studies in Nanotechnology, Education, Business and Economics
  • Tutoring since 2003
  • Qualified teacher and have been teaching Physics since 2007
  • Recieved university scholarships and Teach.NSW scholarship
  • Currently and formerly tutored Year 11 and 12 students from top schools such as: James Ruse, Baulkham Hills, North Sydney Girls, Girraween, Fort Street, Hurlstone and Kings
  • Tutored a number of state-ranking students and have been very successful in tutoring potential band 6 students

What?

Tutoring for Physics (Year 12)

  • Small group sessions for up to 6 students ($40/lesson)
  • Classes commenced on September 28th
  • Classes are run on Tuesdays 6:00pm-8:00pm (FILLED) and Saturdays 11:30am-1:30pm (3 places remaining)
  • Lessons are tailored for high achieving students, if you are struggling with Physics you will not benefit from these classes and I would suggest 1-to-1 tuition.

Lesson Structure:

2 hour lessons
For each lesson, a theory booklet is worked through in class, key concepts explained, past examination questions are broken down and answered in a way to ensure maximum understanding and maximum marks.
A homework booklet is given most weeks and is to be completed. Feedback is always provided when homework or examinations are given back.
Personally, I find assessment as an extremely important part of teaching/tutoring. So, I am aiming at constructing 30 minute tests to be completed each 2-3 weeks, to ensure consolidation of materials learnt.
Generally the lessons structure will be as such:

  • 0.5 Hours working through / feedback from homework problems
  • 0.5 Hours test on previous fortnights material (approx. every 2-3 weeks)
  • 1.0-1.5 hours working through new material and problem solving

Where?


At my place in South-Western Sydney (Green Valley)

Why me?

  • My services do not finish once you finish the weekly 2 hour lesson -- I am available via email and phone pretty much all the time, I spend many hours each week helping students with questions, assignments, proof-reading notes and preparation for upcoming assessment tasks, all at no further expense
  • I am not a dictator, I try to provide a supportive environment where thoughts and opinions are encouraged to be shared. If you want to reap the most benefit from my classes, the onus is on YOU to contribute
  • I am a qualified teacher and have been teaching Physics since 2007, in a region which includes 2 of the top 5 schools in the state, my students significantly outperform these selective students in terms of 'value-added' every year (so far)
  • Being a qualified teacher, I have access to a great deal of material which non-teachers do not
  • I will support you through the Preliminary and HSC Course!! (I'm really not doing that much for the next 2 years)
  • I enjoy teaching, so I try to make learning interactive and fun (The occasional science teacher/father joke is told.. Pity laughs are encouraged..)
  • I know many little tricks to help you score those extra marks on examinations and assignments
  • Students look forward to coming to class
  • Teaching is my passion, not just a way of making extra income.

Looking at the results of your students, there must be something in those cupcakes :p

Are they sold separately?

The special ingredient is love. Lots of love!

No separate selling! To get cupcakes you must put up with me!

Thx mate :)

One Saturday class is definitely filled, still a few spots left in the other Saturday class :)

If you and 2-5 of your friends want to do a class just filled with students from your school, we can run a lesson during the week -- contact me if interested.

A few students have emailed regarding the setup of my classes.

So, I have put a picture in my original post.

Basically, it is like a classroom, I have desks, chairs, Whiteboard and a data projector. Oh, and a filing cabinet! :)

It is not all done on the dining table :)

The room is not huge, but plenty big enough to put upto 6 students in it :)



On a side note:

The 4 local students in my Tuesday class just told me their trial results :)

They were all aiming to beat the guy who was coming first overall .. and they all did :) Caused some rather intense QQ'ing apparently!

Wrapped up the top 4 places :)

Awesome results from awesome students!

Thank you! =)

Not 100% sure =) But, I only have a couple of females, so it narrows it down ;)

On another note, a couple of my tutoring students have, thus far, tied up 2 of the top 3 spots in the top ranked school in the Macarthur region! :) Trial is on Monday, so goodluck!

Hey guys,

I have one free space on Saturday 1:00-3:30pm as one of my students has not turned up for the last two weeks and is not answering his emails, so I assume he does not like me or perhaps feels threatened by my ravishing looks, or perhaps he doesn't like me BECAUSE he feels threatened by my ravishing looks.

There will be no regrets with this guy, top bloke and always answering questions through email.

There is nothing humourous about my looks! That is why I was Teach.NSW pinup boy for 3 years ;) true story!

My study is filled with a number of my posters
