Update: 99.75 Tutor for VCE subjects

[Ilovemathsmeth]

Hi

I completed my VCE in 2009 from Mac.Rob with an ENTER score of 99.75.

I am hoping to provide tuition from February 2011 for the following VCE subjects:

- Accounting
- Chemistry
- Maths Methods
- Further Maths

Tuition is not restricted to VCE subjects. I am willing to provide tuition in these subjects for younger students.

Rates are affordable and negotiable. Venue of tuition will be at State Library.

I have one year's experience in tutoring in Methods and Chemistry. I have tutored a range of students from a variety of schools. I am passionate about Methods especially and would be delighted to tutor you.


Maths Methods (49) with 97/100 on SACs
I always thought that Maths Methods is often underestimated in terms of difficulty. It requires a lot of attention to detail as well as very good theoretical knowledge and the ability to manipulate this knowledge in contexts of difficult questions. Exposure to a wide variety of questions is crucial to attain a high raw score. It is not enough to simply do the text book questions and a few exam preparation booklets. I can help train you in terms of exam techniques and give you exposure to a wide variety of questions as well as help you with general theory and text book exercises.

I have back to front knowledge in this subject and am in constant touch with the subject since I am studying a Maths based course at University, with first year subject marks in Calculus 1 [100] and Calculus 2 [99], both of which are extensions of the concepts covered in Maths Methods.


Accounting (49), ranked 1 for school SACs
I think that Accounting is a tricky subject, requiring consistent effort and dedication. It is approximately 60% book keeping and 40% theoretical knowledge. You really need to understand the fundamental Accounting principles as well as work steadily through the practical exercises, seeking assistance wherever you are facing confusion. I can help you work through the practical questions as well as help you understand the finer  Accounting theory points.

I studied Accounting subjects last year at University so am quite familiar with the subject.
 

Chemistry (44), ranked 1 for school SACs
I found that Chemistry was a challenging subject requiring in depth theoretical knowledge as well as having the ability to perform calculations and approach problems. Being able to apply theory is very important -you need exposure to a wide variety of questions. Having done many practice application questions myself, I can assist you in solving such exam style problems and can also help you understand the difficult theory points.


Further Maths (49) with rank 1 on SACs
A common misconception is that Further Maths is a really easy subject. I agree that the theory and calculations in Further Maths are relatively straight forward when compared to Maths Methods, but you still need to work and have a good exposure to a variety of questions in order to do well. A lot of people can do the Maths in Further but unfortunately that is not what determines your study score. Further Maths has a lot of tricky questions which catch people out. Each mark lost in Further Maths costs you dearly. I can assist you with solving tricky questions and with providing you with difficult exam questions. I did CORE Statistics and for my modules, I did Geometry/Trig; Graphs and Relations; Networks and Matrices.


Please PM me if you are interested. Name the subject and give me your contact details and available times. I will be able to tutor from the end of January.


I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, just wondering where you are located.
CHeers, s

[Ilovemathsmeth]

I'm located near the CBD

[sebdog117]

Are you only offering tutoring near the CBD, or are you available to do private tuition?

[IntoTheNewWorld]

Are you only offering tutoring near the CBD, or are you available to do private tuition?

I think she means she is available to do private tuition in the State Library, which is near the CBD.

[Ilovemathsmeth]

Yeah that's right Private or group tuition at State Library. It's cheaper if you can come with a friend, and also cheaper for a 2 hour session.

[LSC]

Just  letting everyone know, she is a genius and can do every question from the Essential Methods book. I've learned more from her than my teacher, and the funny thing is, I've never met her.

OP is a girl? Wut.

Shame about your english score, still awesome, but looks like you would have done better in english language. :\

[QuantumJG]

ILMM is one of the best tutors you'll get. I totally endorse this person.

Don't mention her English score, she is kind of really annoyed about it.

[Ilovemathsmeth]

LOL I still am! But getting over it slowly...ahh well.

[Ilovemathsmeth]

Thanks for your kind words, QuantumJG and LSC

[QuantumJG]

I still don't understand why you got so upset with English? Like I mean 43 is truely pro.

[Ilovemathsmeth]

Actually 43 is my target study score - I was just feeling annoyed because I would have got 99.90 had my top 4 subjects been counted. That led to resentment about my English study score as had it been a magical 49, I'd have probably got 99.90. But I was never strong with English anyway, it would have been impossible to achieve that in my case.

Lol I can understand that feeling! If my real top 4 subjects were calculated I would have achieved an ENTER of ~94. What annoyed me was I beat (most) my mates in the science/maths subjects and they got a higher ENTER through doing well in english.

But yeah it took me a while to get over that.

It's pretty much why I didn't get dux of my school. The dux got 99.6 with a 47 in English, 46 in chem, 45 in I.S., 44 in Methods and then 40 and 39 for his 5th/6th subjects. My raw scores for my maths and science scores were a lot better than his, it's just he was a killer english student. So despite that 12 point advantage in English, his aggregate only ended up being 5 higher than mine
