2020 Tutoring 99.95 - Chemistry (Raw 50), Methods

No longer tutoring in 2021 as I have moved on to other things. Thank you!

I'm Ian, and I graduated from CGS in 2019 (99․95 ATAR). I'm offering tutoring in VCE Chemistry (raw 50). My other results include Maths Methods (raw 49), English Language (raw 47), Specialist Maths (raw 47), and Physics (raw 47). I received the Premier's Award for Top All-round VCE Achiever.

I aim to raise students from achieving merely decent results to exceptional scores - a drive which I held dear throughout my VCE studies. Neither talent nor an arduous schedule lead to nice results, but an ability to judiciously apply your knowledge, plus some strats on the side, will allow you to cruise through the year to success. In 2020, I will be offering individual and small-group tutoring for motivated students who want to achieve the best marks in Chemistry (raw 50). I am also able to guide you in Maths Methods (49) and Specialist Maths with trial exam strategies and difficult application problems.

The chemistry exam is one of the most harshly marked exams across the VCE repertoire. Even capable students lose many marks due to lack of rigour, clarity, or seemingly innocuous contradictions. I will guide you with dexterity so that can quash these obstacles and achieve an awesome mark.

I provide:
  • Lessons with clarity, plus concise notes with all working, explanations, formulae, and strategies
  • A strong and intuitive understanding of all topics
  • Worksheets with difficult exam-style questions and tricks which really test your understanding – made by me
  • A range of trial exams which I have all personally completed and chosen to be the best for consolidating your knowledge.
  • Assessment advice for avoiding both the common and esoteric pitfalls which pop up so infrequently yet trip you up so hard in the thick of the moment
  • Strats for performing under pressure – as someone who faced immense pressure at the beginning of the year, I can provide you with strategies to eliminate study pre-SAC/exam stress.
  • Strategies for acing the final two application questions of the Chemistry exam
  • Succinct approaches for answering all explanation questions to maximise your marks, ensuring that everything examiners are looking for is included and nothing extraneous muddies your response

Where?
  • Preston and Reservoir
  • Kew and Balwyn
  • Melbourne CBD (State Library)
  • Online

1-on-1 and group tutoring, and home visits as well as library visits are all suitable. Message me if you're interested!

Hi everyone :)

I'm Ian. I am a first-time tutor who aims to raise students from achieving merely decent results to exceptional scores - a drive which I held dear throughout my VCE studies. In the last two years, I have learned neither talent nor an arduous schedule lead to nice results, but rather just a good understanding of the formulas and principles, and an ability to apply them judiciously, plus some strats on the side, will allow you to cruise through the final exams.

I completed the VCE in 2019 and received an ATAR of 99.95. In 2020, I will be offering individual and small-group tutoring for Chemistry (50), Maths Methods (49) and Specialist Maths (47).

Chemistry

The chemistry exam is one of the most harshly marked exams across the VCE repertoire. Even capable students lose many marks due to lack of rigour, clarity, or seemingly innocuous contradictions. I will guide you with efficiency and skill through:

  • - Adroit tuition without the bs or ego, aided by comprehensive and concise lesson notes
  • - Worksheets containing range of difficult exam-style questions to ensure ample preparation.
  • - Succinct approaches for answering all explanation questions to maximise your marks.
  • - Strategies for acing the final two questions of the exam – experimental design and real-world applications.
  • - A wide range of trial exams which I have personally completed and chosen to be the best for your improvement
  • - Assessment advice for avoiding common pitfalls and tips on performing under pressure – as someone who faced immense pressure at the beginning of the year, I can provide you with strategies to eliminate study stress.

Maths Methods and Specialist Maths

I’ll admit that my offer, lacking the double raw 50s, initially flops in the face of more glamorous credentials. Yet, it must be said that the failings I had on the days of those exams have only made me more equipped to raise your results to the highest echelon. Through my expertise in these maths subjects and personal experiences of studying and exam practice, you will certainly become well-equipped for any assessment and the final exams, and even surpass my own final results.

  • - Lessons, focussed on questions and coherent methods, with masterly explication and demonstrations of difficult problems.
  • - More than just formulae, refining your problem-solving skills and understanding with respect to pesky VCAA questions.
  • - Many practice exams from the current study design, selected and assigned to improve the application of your abilities in exams.
  • - Practice application tasks, other SACs, and difficult exam-style questions made by me.
  • - Challenging and infuriating weekly tests to reinforce knowledge and familiarise yourself with thinking well under pressure
  • - A mass of custom functions and insane tricks for the Ti-nspire calculator (can complete exam 2 in an hour even with chubby fingers)

For all subjects, as a student you can just chuck me a message and I will answer quickly. I will mainly tutor in Melbourne CBD at a location of your choosing. I can also tutor in the northern suburbs (Preston, Heidelberg, Ivanhoe etc). Lessons will run for 1 hr or 1.5 hrs, the latter of which allows me to present a greater variety of questions for your benefit. Price is affordable and fully negotiable. Get some of your mates together and I’ll discount the cost per student for small group classes. PM or email at [email protected] if interested. And of course, all the best for 2020!

English Language (47) extras:

I will also run English Language essay writing classes which will elevate the quality of your essays to an exceptional level. Through my close understanding of the best areas of language on which to focus your study and collect examples, as well as my strategies of judiciously selecting and planning an essay topic to cover all bases, not to mention the EngLang expository style itself, you will be able to excel at any essay task thrown at you in assessments and the exam to achieve an astounding study score. I will also confer upon you the best techniques for acing the final exam with aplomb with a mere 2 hours of writing time. Furthermore, I can direct you to another tutor who was instrumental in enabling me to achieve my study score of 47,  has a wealth of language knowledge, and will provide you with innumerable resources to improve your AC and short-answer approach.

English Language contemporary examples document –  priced at just $15, this doc has many unique and uncommon examples which continue to be relevant. It also shows how to apply metalanguage and such examples in essays for their fullest potential through paragraph excerpts. PM for more info.

Hey Ian!

Nice work and a massive congrats on your scores! Are you possibly selling your CAS functions? If so, how much? :)
