A word from our head tutor and founder, Kalan Thompson

I understand how intimidating and disheartening the HSC can be when you work extremely hard, and continuously feel as though your work is never justified in your marks. I can relate to this most with my experience in English where I was near the bottom of my Advanced cohort at the end of year 11. However, by the end of year 12 I had achieved first place ranking, and sequentially, a mark of 94 in my English Advanced HSC. I know exactly how it feels to be at the bottom and at the top in relation to my studies. This possesses me with a unique insight to acknowledge areas of improvement, confront them head on, and implement strategies to achieve such improvements.

In my last 2 years of tutoring, students have seen improvements up to 30% in their results, because I adapt to their learning style and provide feedback in ways that is responsive to student needs. I have one goal in mind, and that is to help you learn. I have endured my own tribulations and hardships during my high school studies and I understand the value that a supportive and understanding tutor can bring to a student outside the classroom.
