Absolutely it can be local in person lessons. I know one older math teacher who runs about 4 lessons a day, he charges around $150/lessons, teachers mon-fri, teaches 4 x ten week terms, and is essentially constantly booked out. 4 * $150 * 5 * 10 * 4 = $120000/year. He does all his lessons in a...

Depends how good you are. I've been a very successful tutor in econ/math/phys, I spent my first 8 years working for other firms and as a casual uni tutor and I now run a solo tutoring firm full time (past 4 years) and it earns me a modest living, I love the work and I'm not constantly being...

There are actually quite a lot of teachers (primary school teachers, secondary school teachers, vocational teachers, and university teachers) who do the majority of their teaching work in the private sector (this is usually tutoring, but some people run private colleges, specializing in their...

No, I'm not a schoolteacher nor do I ever intend to be, I'm a TAFE and university teacher by training. Professional educators tend to take MEd/GDEd as professional development after substantial years teaching, as it is expected that you will have either advanced degrees in education or PHD if...

So, I could work at an observatory but that would be a bit ehhh, but I'm an expert secondary/tertiary educator which is what I enjoy.

My MSc [which is almost finished 13/16 units including 2/2 masters' papers done] is in Astrophysics (specializing in theoretical astrophysics). My MEd [which I am at the start of 2/16 units done] is in integrated STEM and Mathematics education.

HazzRat - I'm a MSc/MEd graduate student and academic instructor with 13 years-experience in the industry. I'm here on boredofstudies writing comments as a form of procrastination for my own study. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: I've always struggled with procrastination, and still do, I find...

Just take the opportunity and lose one atar point. It's good to enjoy fun experiences you have as a young person, and you may find it motivates you to work harder for the rest year 11-12 if it is inspiring (in which case you may not lose an atar point).

As Jimmysmith560 has said, low to mid 80's is a good ballpark. Personally, I would say mid 70's to low 80s, simply because you don't have subjects which scale particularly well. But it is very contingent on how well you actually sit your final exams, if your exams go well on the days maybe low...

Taking Advanced English + one of [AdvancedMath/Extension1Math/Extension2Math] + one of [BusinessStud/Economics] + one of [EngineeringStudies/IT/IPT/Computing] + one science [physics is ideal but any science is fine - many BCompSci/BEcon or equivalent degrees will have substantial overlap in some...

Econ is a good subject to have to mix up your schedule a bit. Imagine you finish school and suddenly you find you hate STEM and want to do something more humanities focused, if you keep econ you can mention to other that you did econ and you will be less of an outsider in a humanities degree...

If you want to keep higher ATAR degree options open for unis like UNSW/USYD/UMELB/ANU probably just drop Visual Arts (you can always paint a picture or write an art essay in your spare time - I did take Vis Arts in year 11 so I am allowed to rip on it). From a future studies perspective it is...

If you've got a bad teacher or a biased teacher, it's most sensible to just cop it and try your best without their direct help. If you complain to the principal, they're going to side with the teacher 99% of the time [because teachers are almost impossible to hire, and the last thing a...

You should ask your biology teacher if the year 11 is content which you will need, their answer will essentially be yes, this is because a core focus of the content you are doing in year 11 (alongside the modules and incorporated into the modules) is a combination of foundations and "Working...

In all of the main year 11-12 Science courses [ Biology / Chemistry / Earth & Environmental Science / Physics ] the HSC exams will cover a mix of content from both year 11 (Preliminary) and year 12 (HSC). This is also true for the content contained in all the main year 11-12 Mathematics courses...

You have correctly calculated the first part of the question, assuming you are doing this question with simple algebra [SUVAT] it will work approximately as follows: If M=25 and F=400, this means F=M*A, and A=16. With gravity NetA=16-9.81=6.19 We know D=U*T+0.5*A*(T^2), which means...

These are from the current iteration of the HSC Cambridge math books I believe; they are great questions. Try thinking of the vertical cross sections of both shapes (this kind of thinking will work for both 14 and 15). You may then be able to use basic trigonometry or Pythagoras theorem to...

Short answer, you can't. Math teachers are quite clever, they will almost always try to add trick questions to your exams which even the most diligent students have not seen and don't know how to do. You can attempt questions in books like Cambridge/Terry Lee, but there are infinitely many...

That's fine though, because all subjects (to some extent) are concerning problem solving, so a good ATAR (let's call good 70 and above, and bad 30 and below) really just shows the kid could solve some simple problems in some number of selected subjects (by university standards all HSC subjects...

My main area of subject expertise is math (upper secondary, vocational, undergraduate, and graduate). I am certified as a vocational and undergraduate math educator. I also teach upper secondary and undergraduate students in: business/economics/engineering/industrial technology/earth &...
