Hey! I'm Tia and I recently graduated from Brisbane Girls Grammar School (2022) with academic honours since grade seven, and am a third year student studying a Bachelor of Advanced Finance and Economics (Honours) at UQ. I am an organised and hard worker with careful attention to detail, and I am motivated to help you/your child achieve their goals, while becoming a more motivated and organised student.
I also have experience with over 40 students for 4 years now. This means I can quickly identify different learning types and provide the best help to you. I love structure and organisation and will utilise a variety of teaching techniques depending on what suits you best. This includes flashcards, quizzes, diagrams, and summary sheets - many of which I utilised throughout my senior years to maximise my ATAR.
For sessions, I strongly encourage setting up a consistent weekly time - I believe it helps students to remain accountable for their study and enables me to best guide them towards their goals, big or small!
I can also assist with:
Study skills
Assignment guidance
Time management
Group sessions at discounted rates
My senior subjects and results: English (A+, 100%), Methods (A+), Economics (A+), Accounting (A), Biology (A+), Chemistry (A+)
Grade 11 | Brisbane Girls Grammar School
"Tia has been an exceptional tutor for my daughters over the past 2 years. From the very first session, she displayed an incredible depth of knowledge in; English, Economics, Maths, Biology and Chemistry. She explains complex concepts in a clear and understandable manner, and she has a genuine passion for tutoring. Her encouragement, and constructive feedback on assignments has been invaluable, in helping my daughters achieve their academic goals. I wholeheartedly recommend Tia to anyone seeking a dedicated, friendly and supportive tutor."
Grade 11 | Brisbane Girls Grammar School
"After trying a number of different tutors, we were so lucky to find Tia. She is very knowledgeable across a wide range of subjects and she relates perfectly with my daughter and her needs. Couple this with her flexible approach to scheduling and at a very reasonable rate, we would highly recommend Tia to any family whose child needs some help with their high school subjects. "
Grade 11 | Brisbane Girls Grammar School
"Tia has been an amazing tutor. She has helped build my confidence in my subjects by developing personalised study skills for me and explaining difficult concepts I have been unsure about. She is very patient and always motivates me to do my best. I would highly recommend Tia!"
Grade 8 and 12 | Brisbane Grammar School, Brisbane Girls Grammar School
"Tia has been tutoring my son and daughter for the past 2 years. I cannot recommend her more highly. She is a very engaging and supportive tutor. She is also very knowledgeable about various subjects, and puts her own spin on regular teaching styles which really helps engage my kids!"
I would agree that there are many older, perhaps more experienced tutors who could potentially help your child, but what will differentiate me from them is my ability to deliver my knowledge in a fulfilling yet engaging manner - I am a recent high school graduate who still has strong memories of what it was like to be in your child's grade, learning about the same content as them and this will allow me provide better, more understandable advice and act not only as a tutor, but as a mentor and friend to your child.
