If you want a heads up on unit 4 before exams approach, I'm willing to help.

In 2010, I graduated with 99.95 as one of the Duxes of Mac.Rob. In the same year, I represented Australia at the International and Asian Physics Olympiads, and obtained an honourable mention in the former, with a score that placed me as the top scoring Victorian and best female in the country. I also took the SAT subject test in physics, and obtained a perfect score of 800, which mirrored my 50 in physics and Mac.Rob Physics Prize in 2009 as a year 11 student.

Physics is a subject that I love, and I believe that my experience in physics contributed to my acceptances at Harvard, Yale and Princeton. I've tutored numerous students in the last six months - not only did I tutor VCE physics in the summer holidays, but I have worked at an elite summer camp tutoring the country's best students in physics and have tutored students in maths, chemistry, physics and english in Canberra. When tutoring physics, I emphasise an understanding of the concepts, so that students need not waste additional hours making sense of obscure formulae. I try to make physics fun.

I'll be leaving for Yale University in mid August, but before then, I'm able to tutor in various formats. I'm happy to help students for specific SACs; I scored 100 on my Unit 4 SACs.

Individual/very small group tutoring:
This would be conducted at the State Library or another place upon negotiation. I am willing to help students in either years 11 or 12 consolidate either aspects or the entire semester's course.

Lectures and small seminars
I will be giving Connect Education's Unit 4 Physics lecture, where I'll be emphasising the concepts behind the core unit 4 course, as well as techniques and tricks about responding to exam questions. This lecture will go for 5 hours, and is $42, which works out to just over $8 per hour. If you've got any questions about my lecture, feel free to ask. However, as the detailed study cannot be covered in great depth in this session, I will be running separate small seminars (with <10 people) on the detailed study sound. These will allow students to discuss the detailed study, and will last for two hours. Dates and location can be confirmed if sufficient interest is registered.

If you're interested in any of the above, please send me a private message, and I can pass on my private contact details.

There's not really that much to say which can't be inferred from Maddy's amazing list of credentials - if you want somebody who is an absolute authority on physics at this level, there's nobody better to go towards.  Not only that, but Maddy is bubbly, entertaining to listen to, and above all, an amazingly nice person; I've seen her presentations (at university levels!) on physics research topics, and even for somebody with no scientific background such as myself, the ideas were communicated thoughtfully and clearly.  This isn't an opportunity to pass up.  That is all.

You're not yet an ivy league student until you begin ya know, maybe change that spot to '800 SAT' which still is extremely impressive as you pretty much are perfection when it comes to physics aha. If i were doing VCE still this year, i'd definitely use appian to ensure i pawn the eff out of physics. :D
(would have been an awesome way to win the vce system..)

Whoa this is really impressive. These lectures will be great for anyone doing VCE physics.

Also congratulations appianway! I hope to see an Australian physicist get the nobel prize.

yeah that's all well and good, but i was just saying that you can't really be considered a student until you are actually at the college, studying.. this offtopic, let's not continue this haha.
you're amazing regardless, so who cares.
