My name is Persia, and I have 5 years of tutoring experience across English, Mathematics, Biology, and Chemistry. During this time, I have consistently tutored around 5 students per term, working with students of a range of ages and abilities, from younger students building their foundations to Year 12 students preparing for their final exams. I have worked with many Year 12 students in the lead-up to their final exams, but I also love helping students of all ages develop their confidence and understanding. I achieved an ATAR of 98.9, with scores of: 96 in English Advanced, 94 in English Extension 1, 93 in Chemistry, 94 in Biology, 92 in Advanced Mathematics, and 91 in Mathematics Extension. I achieved 90+ scores across 8 subjects in Year 12 while balancing extracurricular commitments including ballet, basketball, musical theatre, and violin. Because I had to balance so many commitments, I learned early on that studying for hours on end wasn't necessarily the most effective approach. Instead, I had to learn how to study actively, making sure every minute of study had a purpose. This is something I strongly believe in bringing to my tutoring. I have maintained an H1 WAM throughout my university studies, not by working myself to the bone for hours on end, but by adjusting my approach to study (working smarter, not harder!) Focusing on understanding rather than rote memorisation not only increases your chances of reaching your goal grade, but also saves you so much time in the long run. I am currently in my final semester of a Bachelor of Biomedicine at the University of Melbourne, where I have continued to develop my knowledge of Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics while maintaining an H1 WAM. I hope to transfer these methods to my students. My number one focus is to identify and fill any gaps in understanding, work with you towards your individual goals, and develop smart study habits that maximise your study time. I believe effective tutoring is about more than simply getting through content; it is about genuinely understanding the material and developing the confidence to tackle problems and answer questions independently. After all, the goal isn't just to get through the next test, but to develop skills that make studying more effective in the long run. My objective is to make sure every lesson is engaging, supportive, student-led, and never boring. Whether I'm helping a younger student build strong foundations or supporting a Year 12 student through their final exams, I want my students to leave each lesson feeling more confident in their abilities and equipped with practical strategies they can continue using in their own study. If you would like to chat more about my academic background, tutoring experience, or approach to teaching, please feel free to reach out, I would be very happy to answer any questions!

Success stories from our high school students in Sydney

Apex Tuition Australia has been providing tutoring to students in high school for 10+ years. We have successfully tutored 1,000+ students who have achieved some great results. Check out some of their stories below.

In Year 10, Maths started becoming more challenging and I found that I was falling behind on some of the harder topics. I wanted to improve before moving into senior school, so I decided to get a tutor for some extra support.My tutor helped me go back over the areas I wasn’t confident with and explained difficult questions in a way that was much easier to follow. We worked through examples together, and I learnt better ways to approach unfamiliar problems instead of getting stuck straight away.As the year went on, I became more confident working independently and started seeing an improvement in my test results. I also felt much more comfortable asking questions in class and tackling harder problems.By the end of Year 10, I felt like I had built a much stronger foundation in Maths and was much more prepared for the subjects I wanted to take in Year 11.

Subjects tutored: Year 10 Mathss
Score: A

Year 7 English was a big step up from primary school, and at the start of the year I found some parts of the subject quite difficult. I especially struggled with analysing the books we were reading and knowing how to organise my ideas when writing paragraphs and assignments.My tutor helped me build up the skills I needed by going through my schoolwork with me each week. We worked on reading comprehension, paragraph structure, grammar and how to use quotes properly in my writing. Having everything explained one-on-one made it much easier for me to understand.As the year went on, I became more confident completing English work by myself and started contributing more in class. I also noticed that my writing became clearer and my assessment results improved.By the end of Year 7, I felt much more comfortable with English and was really proud of the progress I had made with my tutor’s help.

I had always found English a bit difficult, but in Year 9 I started to struggle more with essays and analysing the texts we were studying in class. I often had good ideas but wasn’t sure how to organise them or explain them in enough detail.My tutor helped me work on this by showing me how to break down essay questions, plan my responses and structure my paragraphs more clearly. We also went through my school texts together and practised choosing strong quotes and explaining how they supported my ideas.The feedback I got each week really helped me understand where I was losing marks and what I could do differently. After a while, writing essays started to feel much easier and I became a lot more confident with my English assessments.By the end of Year 9, I had improved my results and felt much more confident with both analysing texts and expressing my ideas in writing.
