This name sounds familiar... I think he may have done a few sessions with Access Education a few years ago... if it's the same guy, I remember being pleased with his easy-to-understand explanations.

He's the guy that teaches at MGS.  He's pretty funny and a top bloke but sometimes he gets side-tracked and talks about anything but physics.  Overall though, he's knowledgeable in physics and can convey concepts.

Thanks for all the comments!

It would be great if we get more comments on the tutors from this website.

Are student tutors with lots of VCE knowledge and personal experience good or experienced teaching teachers?

brightsky:
Depends on what you prefer. I know many students who learn better whilst under professional guidance from a knowledgeable teacher. However, sometimes, the way in which these teachers communicate may not be the best way you receive your info, perhaps made worse if the teacher's some kind of VCE examiner/veteran. In contrast, students who have just passed VCE are usually more suited to people our age in terms of the way they speak, teach, etc. There is a real difference between a student to teacher environment as opposed to a student to student/ friend to friend relationship. Again, it's all up to you to choose which type of environment best fits your traits.
