I seek to help students develop a strong foundation by deconstructing concepts in a logical manner which sparks their intuition and curiosity. Then I aim to build upon this foundation with extra intricate detail and a wide variety of practice questions. In doing so, I help students gain a complex understanding for confident application of their skills and knowledge in any exam situation.

Success in HSC science depends on how well you can apply your skills in unfamiliar situations, rather than superficial memorisation. My teaching style aims to foster a natural passion for science and an intuitive understanding of key scientific concepts, so that students are primed to tackle any question they are presented with.​
