What do I enjoy most about tutoring? π
I love seeing students have those "aha" moments when a concept finally clicks. Helping them overcome challenges and gain confidence in their own abilities is the most rewarding part of tutoring for me.My Strengths as Tutor πͺ
I pride myself on being approachable, empathetic, and committed to instilling a lifelong love of learning. As a graduate student with a Bachelor's degree in Pure Mathematics and several years of professional consulting experience, I believe that would be a great mentor figure for students, bringing a strong blend of analytical expertise and real-world perspective. I'm able to break down complex ideas into clear, approachable steps and connect them to real-world examples, helping students feel more confident and engaged in their learning.Most important things I can do for a student π
A tutor's role is to help students understand key concepts and apply them confidently, leading to growth in both understanding and academic performance. Ultimately, though, I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do is help students develop confidence in their own abilities and nurture a genuine curiosity and love of learning that extends beyond the classroom.Subjects Tutored π

About Irene
Exceptional Academic Background
I am a motivated and dedicated graduate student at the University of Melbourne, currently completing a Graduate Diploma in Science (Physics). With a 95+ ATAR obtained in 2016 and strong academic results across Physics, Pure Mathematics, and Computing during my tertiary studies - including multiple Deanβs Honours List awards - I bring both depth and breadth of subject expertise. I am committed to helping students build confidence and achieve meaningful academic progress.
Proven Teaching Experience
I have several years of tutoring experience across high school and university settings. At Embrace Education, KT Education, and the University of Melbourne, I have supported students from Years 6-7 and first-year university, delivering clear explanations, structured lessons, and personalised guidance. I am experienced working with both individuals and classes, engaging students of varying abilities, managing classroom challenges, and communicating progress effectively to parents and teachers.
Mentorship Backed by Professional Experience
Beyond tutoring, my consulting experience at Deloitte has strengthened my communication, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills - qualities that directly elevate my teaching. This background also enables me to mentor students with practical insight into study pathways, career options, and life beyond the classroom. I pride myself on being patient, encouraging, and adaptable, and I strive to create a supportive learning environment where every student feels confident and capable.
