If you're going to be doing VCE physics in 2011, then I may be of some help! The name's appianway, and I'm offering physics tuition commencing in late November to help prepare you for the trials and tribulations of VCE physics. Many students start their VCE studies in November and December, and a huge percentage find physics quite a daunting subject. That's where I come in. I'm available to tutor during the school holidays, starting in late November, to help students get a solid grasp on the fundamentals of physics before the school year actually starts.
My credentials:
- A raw study score of 50 in VCE physics (taken in 2009 as a year 11 student)
- Winner of the 2009 Mac.Rob Physics Prize for topping Mac.Rob SACs (including a raw average of 100 for unit 4)
- Member of the 5 person 2010 Australian Physics Team at the International Physics Olympiad, selected from students from all around the country
- Member of the 8 Person 2010 Australian Physics Team at the Asian Physics Olympiad
- Won an Honourable Mention at the International Physics Olympiad, placing me as the top scoring Australian female
- Many academic awards at Mac.Rob, including prizes for promise in science, flair in experimental science, extra-curricular and leadership success, as well as general excellence prizes for being in the top 10 students in my cohort every single year
- Currently undertaking UMEP physics, with a HD average
- Numerous high distinctions and prizes in science competitions, including the Science Talent Search, the NQEs for physics and chemistry (the qualifying round of the olympiads), the National Chemistry Quiz and the AMC, as well as a few other national ones
I also have good communication skills, and I was my school Music Captain this year. I've competed in debating, and I've won a few public speaking and writing prizes. I will be continuing my involvement with the olympiad program (albeit not as a student), and I have a passion for education and scientific problem solving. When it comes to tutoring, I emphasize the importance of the fundamental concepts and creative thinking.
In addition to VCE physics, I am willing to tutor students in younger year levels. I have studied French, Chemistry, English Language, English and Mathematical Methods, and I am willing to tutor these subjects on request.
For more information and contact details, please send me a personal message.

Heavily endorsed - you won't find somebody with more Physics knowledge than this girl, and she IS top 5 in Australia in the 2010 cohort for it... Lovely person too - you'll be entertained by her hyperactiveness or something. xD
-
Absolutely 100% agreed, I'm sure she will be an awesome tutor :)
-
If any of you ever need help or tutoring related to physics, appainway is the person to go to! She is an expert communicator (just try talking to her!) and has the unique ability to explain both simple and complex theories and ideas in a detailed and extremely easy to understand manner. Definitely endorsed. :)
-
This girl is a genius :)
+ she is a good speaker, and obviously is very knowledgeable when it comes to physics, so she can definitely communicate the concepts and strategies required to succeed :D
-
This person once told me that she was "superiorly intellectually challenged". She must be smart. Oh and she has helped me in past when its come to physics related stuff. Good person, will be an excellent tutor.

Omg now I wish I went to her for Physics help this year 0.o

Endorsed.
You will not find anyone better than appianway at Physics, you can not go wrong with her.
-
Just a quick bump - I have some students organised for the holidays, but I still have room for a few more. If you're interested, feel free to message me.

If you're going to be doing VCE physics in 2010
Just a heads up - don't think this is gonna help anyone doing physics in 2010 :P

Father studied physics for 6 years at university. Received top of the class marks in 90% of work/exams. Had much of his work published in science magazines.
+ General physics enthusiast. Many many books on the shelves.
Assumption- The mother of all fuck-ups. :P
Appianway does sound hugely impressive though...
I mean she competed at the Physics Olympiad ffs.

Does he offer vce tutoring?

Thanks for the correction about the year :)
Just thought I'd add that I can also provide assistance for the SAT Subject Tests in Maths (level 2) and Physics.

You're not going to live up to your namesake with your attitude. I don't understand why you are simply going around trying to bring other people down from what they're passionate about.

People who are very experienced and skilled in a field are not necessarily the best tutors for a subject, particularly VCE! For instance, in the case of VCE Physics, a lot of the material is very simplified and working out what is relevant can be a hard job. appianway sounds like a wonderful tutor, obviously having knowledge beyond what is required for the course, but clearly being able to relate it to the current high school course with results!
To MBBS - your father sounds like he would be a very apt physics tutor, but maybe if you want to plug his credentials it would be better to give him his own thread to flesh it out thoroughly and let people decide. Some people might take it the wrong way by intruding on someone else's ad.

There's a right way for people to interpret what he posted?

Just thought I'd quickly bump this. I've started classes for the holidays and I still have room, but I'm trying to organise part time work at the moment, so if you're interested, let me know as soon as possible :)
I didn't really stress in the earlier part of the ad that I can tutor English Language - in terms of scores, I obtained a raw of 45 last year (which was scaled to 47). I did very well on my SACs in a highly competitive cohort (message me for details) and I have a working knowledge of French (I've previously won prizes in the Alliance Francaise Berthe Mouchette Competition, and I hold my DELF B2) so I can make comparisons between languages. I can help with written expression - I've won writing prizes on local and national levels, and I've written for a lot of publications. In a quantitative sense, I scored 49 for the written expression section of the GAT and I've scored well within the top 1% for those ICAS Writing Competitions and the SAT. I have a lot of sample essays and general resources for English Language, and I'd like to think my knowledge extends beyond the scope of the course. As with the physics tuition, just message me for more information.

Bump - graduated with 99.95 and got dux of Mac.Rob (there are 4 of us who share the title).

Chuck it on the opening post!!!

Modified... sort of. :)

Hey appianway, I'm interested! :D How much are you charging? Physics is probably going to be my 7th subject, so I'm not planning on paying much...and I'm probably just looking at 1 hour, ever 2nd week or maybe less frequently. Viable?
-
Bumping Appianway's thread.
Had a lesson with her the other day..
What can i say!
She definitely knows her stuff and she is able to explain things clearly. She is well prepared and has a good source of questions from a variety of difficulty levels. If you're considering getting a physics tutor over summer, appianway is the way to go :)
Endorsed :)

hi there. my name is dieuten (u-ten) and i am currently a year 12
student at northcote high school.
i saw ur ad from the vcenotes website, and currently am looking for a
physics/ and possibly a englang tutor.
i'm looking for a 1-on-1,
and was wondering how sessions would go, and ur teaching methods.
im atm hoping for during weekdays after school and at state library if possible.
for now, this is just a query email not an actual (i want you to be my
tutor) email, but thanks for spending ur time to read this.
cheers.

I'm going to be going to ANU for university, so I can't do weekly 1 on 1 tuition. However, I am running a lot of holiday classes for students (focusing on specific topics).
-
Thought I'd bump this and say that I'll be back in Melbourne from late June to late August (which is when I head off to Yale) and would be willing to cover the unit 4 course with students in this time.
