About Alex

Alex is passionate about helping students achieve their academic goals. She believes that everyone can succeed with the right support and guidance, and is dedicated to providing that personalised experience to each of her students.

Education & Academic Excellence

Currently completing her Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering at the University of Melbourne, Alex consistently achieves High Distinction results in her coursework. Her academic excellence was recognised when she was selected to study at Maastricht University in the Netherlands on a competitive short-term exchange program in 2024. This rigorous academic background has deepened her understanding of core scientific principles and honed her problem-solving and analytical skills.

Tutoring Experience & Approach

With three years of experience tutoring over 30 students of various backgrounds, Alex has developed a unique teaching philosophy that sets her apart:

• Peer-Based Learning: Alex positions herself as a knowledgeable peer rather than an authority figure, creating a comfortable learning environment where students feel like they're working with a friend while maintaining professional respect.

• Neurodiversity-Friendly: She has significant experience working with neurodiverse students and adapts her teaching methods to accommodate different learning styles and needs.

• Personalised Sessions: Alex regularly checks in with students about their preferred learning approach and adjusts her methods accordingly.

• Comprehensive Documentation: After each session, Alex provides detailed notes that build upon previous sessions, creating a continuous learning narrative that students can reference.
  
  

Beyond Academics

Alex believes in well-rounded development. She has spent the last three years working as a waitress at a local cafe, developing valuable skills in communication, time management, and customer service. Her active volunteering at a local surf lifesaving club demonstrates her commitment to community involvement.

Her global perspective has been shaped by travel experiences to Vietnam, several European countries, and Indonesia, fostering curiosity and broadening her understanding of different cultures and approaches to learning.

Getting Started

Alex offers a one-hour trial session for new students. This initial meeting includes both student and parents, and Alex reviews all available past academic history to develop a customized semester lesson plan outline.

For your peace of mind, Alex holds a current Working with Children Check.

Her combination of academic excellence, tutoring experience, and diverse life experiences allows Alex to provide effective and engaging tutoring sessions. She looks forward to working with you and helping your child achieve their academic aspirations!
