Further Math, English

Hi there!

My name is John and I am one of the tutors at Tutor Storm.

I graduated from Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School in 2008, with study scores above 40 for English and Further Mathematics. I then went on to study a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Melbourne, where I majored in economics and politics & international studies. I have over 8 years of tutoring experience with primary and secondary school students, tutoring English and Mathematics. I am extremely passionate about learning and believe it is critical to not only foster a curiosity to learn within the students but to also support them in developing their ability to learn independently. I draw upon my own academic studies as well as time in the workforce to assist students in developing a well-rounded skillset to set them up for future academic and career success.

My listening skills and caring nature set me apart as I prioritise developing the student’s confidence and ability to learn independently. My tutoring experience has brought me into contact with students of greatly varying academic ability, which helps me in tailoring my communication.
My career experience in the Australian Public Service also allows me to provide valuable input into discussions with my secondary school students that may be considering a career in the public service.
