Summary

Former Contour Psychology student with a strong academic foundation, having achieved over 92% in all Year 12 subjects at Glen Waverley Secondary College. I engaged deeply with the VCE Psychology curriculum by taking detailed notes, completing numerous practice exams, and actively applying feedback. Currently tutoring VCE students online, focusing on simplifying complex concepts and supporting student growth. Now undertaking a double degree in Law and Psychology at Monash University, which strengthens my ability to explain content with both academic and real-world insight. Based in Glen Waverley, just one street from the local Contour branch, and highly passionate about student success.
