Hey everyone! My name is Chris.
I am a qualified Physics and Chemistry teacher and have been teaching for the past NINE YEARS. I am a current HSC marker for Physics.
I specialise in tutoring HSC Physics to small groups of capable students (maximum 6 students).
- 2015/16 HSC Course - SATURDAY 11:30AM-1:30PM - CLASS FILLED
- 2015/16 HSC Course - SATURDAY 2:30PM - 4:30PM - CLASS FILLED
- 2015/16 HSC Course - TUESDAY 6PM-8PM CLASS - 1 SPOT REMAINING
I have been asked many times if I tutor Preliminary Physics and/or Preliminary or HSC Chemistry. I do not offer these services currently as I want to focus on ONE thing and do that really, really well!
Why Choose Me?
Lesson Structure:
2 hour lessons
For each lesson, a theory booklet is worked through in class, key concepts explained, past examination questions are broken down and answered in a way to ensure maximum understanding and maximum marks.
A homework booklet is given most weeks and is to be completed. Feedback is always provided when homework or examinations are given back.
Personally, I find assessment as an extremely important part of teaching/tutoring. So, I am aiming at constructing 30 minute tests to be completed each 3-4 weeks, to ensure consolidation of materials learnt.
Generally the lessons structure will be as such:

Why Choose Me?
- I am a qualified teacher and have been teaching Physics since 2007.
- I am a current HSC Marker, so I know exactly what YOU need to do to ensure maximum marks in your responses.
- I have an immense amount of high quality resources which I make available to all of my students, including many resources that other tuition providers do not have access to.
- Whilst I will never do your assessments for you, I provide feedback on draft assignments in order to help you score those extra marks.
- My services do not finish once you finish the weekly 2 hour lesson -- I am available via email, WhatsApp and phone pretty much all the time, I spend many hours each week helping students with questions, assignments, proof-reading notes and preparation for upcoming assessment tasks, all at no further expense
- I am not a dictator, I try to provide a supportive environment where thoughts and opinions are encouraged to be shared. If you want to reap the most benefit from my classes, the onus is on YOU to contribute
- I actually mark your homework and give you constructive feedback for improvement -- not just give you the solutions and expect you to deconstruct the solutions / marking guidelines (often marking guidelines are very confusing!!)
- I enjoy teaching, so I try to make learning interactive and fun (The occasional science teacher/father joke is told.. Pity laughs are encouraged..)
- I know many little tricks to help you score those extra marks on examinations and assignments
- Students look forward to coming to class
- Teaching is my passion, not just a way of making extra income.

Personally, I find assessment as an extremely important part of teaching/tutoring. So, I am aiming at constructing 30 minute tests to be completed each 3-4 weeks, to ensure consolidation of materials learnt.
Generally the lessons structure will be as such:
- 0.5 Hours working through / feedback from homework problems
- 0.5 Hours test on material learnt in last 3-4 weeks (approx. every 3-4 weeks)
- 1.0-1.5 hours working through new material and problem solving
Recent Achievements:
- My HSC 2014 Physics tutor students saw dramatic improvement from Year 11, including one student improving from a rank of 114th in Year 11 to a final rank of 2nd in Year 12 at Baulkham Hills High School (HSC Mark - 95) and another improving from 44th to 5th at Girraween High School (HSC Mark - 93)
- My 2013 school physics class achieved 6 x Band 6's including a state rank of 7th (Exam Mark: 99 - Would have been outright 1st in the state if he wasn't ranked 3rd at the school) and another student who was top 40 in the state. (Not bad for a public, comprehensive school ranked in the mid-300s!)
- 20% of My HSC 2014 school students (non-selective school) achieved a Band 6 (9% of students state wide).
- 100% of My HSC 2015 school students (at non-selective schools) are ranked first in Physics at their school.
What?
- Small group sessions for up to 6 students ($50 / lesson)
- Classes for HSC 2016 have commenced
- Classes are run on Saturdays 11:30am-1:30pm, Saturdays 2:30pm-4:30pm and Tuesdays 6:00pm-8:00pm From 2013-2015, all classes have been filled and 2015 I needed to start a waiting list
- Lessons are tailored for high achieving students, if you are struggling with Physics you will not benefit from these classes and I would suggest 1-to-1 tuition. Contact me for rates if you are interested in 1-to-1 tuition.
