Aim Academics One-on-One Tutoring

Every student is unique, and learns in their own unique way, making it impossible for a single teaching style to guarantee all students understand a particular concept. This is where One-on-One tutoring makes all the difference.

Aim Academics offers One-on-One tutoring, where our tutors offer a highly personalised approach to teaching that allows students to learn at their own speed and further develop and apply their current knowledge – giving areas of struggle the focus they deserve.

Past Student Testimonials:

"John is a highly intelligent, hard working tutor who has his students best interests at heart. He is always willing to help and will go above and beyond to ensure that his students are understanding content and don’t feel as if they’re being left behind. John helped me to improve my confidence whilst answering exam-style questions and providing helpful hints on how to approach questions. If you’re studying biology or chemistry next year, there is no doubt that John will help you to achieve your best."

"John was an amazing tutor that helped me to improve massively in my test scores through his many resources which I was allowed access too whenever, which also overall helped me to prepare for the exam & score better in chemistry. I enjoyed he broke each topic down and made it easy to understand & how he was able to answer all question I had. His practice test questions and PowerPoints also were really unique and gave me so much help for my tests!"

"I love John’s work. He’s an easy going tutor who was a pleasure to work with. John is a very affable and engaging tutor. His ability to explain and simplify vague or nerving questions is really quite phenomenal. "

"John is extremely knowledgeable on all subjects he offers and a great tutor who is passionate to help you drastically improve your grades. He provides material that covers the important details of the course and facilitates it with challenging worksheets to push you to the next level. He is always willing to help clarify doubts numerous amount of times whether it be inside or outside tutoring hours. Worked with him throughout Year 12 and definitely was worth it. Would 100% recommend 🙂"

John's Tutoring Experience:

Throughout the past few years, John has been offering one-on-one tutoring and hosting weekly tutoring workshops for Chemistry and Biology.

In January 2021, he also hosted Headstart Courses for these subjects, where one student, Isabella (who achieved a 99.15 raw ATAR), wrote:

“Absolutely loved John’s teaching style, loved the way that I was able to make connections and understand the content without having to memorise anything.”

John work’s closely with his students in mentoring them in developing effective and efficient science-backed study techniques which allow them to experience significant improvements in their test/exam and assignment grades.

In October 2020 & 2021, John hosted Exam Preparation Courses for these subjects through Aim Academics, where his Chemistry courses reached capacity and sold out within a few days of sales opening.

The average raw ATAR of students he tutored in 2019 and 2020 was 93.70, with 15% of his students achieving a 99+ ATAR, many of which were seeking tertiary studies in Medicine, Dentistry and Science.
