What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I like testing my knowledge through my ability to tech someone else. Seeing someone else work it out and gain an understanding gives me a sense of accomplishment.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I have developed different ways of explaining and understanding things compared to how I have been taught. Meaning I have multiple ways to explain things to help aid students if the first way does not work.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
The tutor needs to ensure that the student gains an understanding of the underpinning concepts to allow them to further develope on their own. This involves providing new perspectives of concepts with which they are struggling.Subjects Tutored 🎓

About Vivienne
High-achieving maths and science specialist with real engineering experience
Vivienne is an aerospace engineering student who uses university-level maths and physics every day, making senior school content feel clear and approachable. She completed advanced secondary subjects in Maths Methods, Specialist Maths, Physics, Chemistry, English and Indonesian with results in the top performance bands, and has since earned high distinctions in multiple engineering mathematics and physics units. This tutor is well placed to support both confident students aiming for top marks and those who need concepts broken down into simple, step-by-step explanations.
Experienced instructor who knows how to keep students engaged
Beyond the classroom, Vivienne has several years’ experience teaching as a sailing instructor, working one-on-one with teenagers and running small-group lessons for children aged 8–12. She plans and delivers sessions, manages behaviour in a busy, unpredictable environment, and explains safety and technique in ways that younger learners can understand. In her engineering student team, she regularly presents complex aerodynamics projects to peers and visiting high-school students, turning technical ideas into accessible, visual explanations.
Clear communicator who builds confidence through problem-solving
Vivienne’s tutoring style is practical and collaborative. Drawing on her project work designing and testing a tennis-ball moving robot and evaluating drag-reduction devices, she shows students how classroom maths and physics connect to real problems, from forces on a boat sail to the path of a hockey ball. She focuses on worked examples, exam-style questions and developing students’ own reasoning, so they learn how to check their steps and fix mistakes independently, building lasting confidence for both classroom tests and final exams.
