About vanessa
Hi! My name is Vanessa and I'm currently studying a double degree of commerce and psychology at UNSW
I have graduated from the NSW HSC system myself, so I know the pressure that you may feel to perform well academically. I am here to help you and guide you through your primary or secondary schooling journey, to improve your confidence in your abilities and hopefully achieve great results! I am very happy and excited to be your tutor and mentor to help you grow and achieve your goals! :)

Through previous roles and home tutoring, Vanessa has developed excellent communication and organisational skills, which she brings into every lesson. She takes time to understand how each student learns best, then adjusts her explanations and examples to match. This tutor likes to use real-life scenarios and practical questions to make Maths feel less abstract and more engaging. Parents can expect clear feedback on progress and areas to focus on, without overwhelming the student.
Responsible Role Model with Leadership and Creativity
Vanessaβs involvement in a structured youth leadership and service program, where she completed extended volunteering and a multi-day expedition, shows her reliability, independence, and commitment to helping others. She has also developed leadership skills that help her guide students gently but firmly towards better study habits. With interests such as violin and creative activities, this tutor can relate well to students with different personalities, encouraging them to stay motivated and to take pride in their learning.
