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.
