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.

Understanding concepts can be hard, which is why I like to compare theory points to real-life examples analogously. By sharing the exact thought process required to answer and understand questions, I make sure students can fully understand the syllabus content.
