About Alice

I offer structured QCE tuition in English, Maths, Chemistry and Physics. My Applied Mathematics degree from the University of Queensland and QCT registration support a style built around clear reasoning and careful use of evidence. I am a good fit for students who want a plan for their learning and are willing to practise between sessions. Online lessons follow the topics and assessment expectations of the student's school. Students are encouraged to question a method and explain their choices, so the structure of a lesson supports increasingly independent work.

Tutoring experience

My work has included explaining difficult concepts, reviewing practice responses and helping students manage several subjects during busy assessment periods. I have supported learners who lose marks through incomplete working as well as those who need a stronger understanding of the content itself. In English, I help students develop and support an interpretation; in the sciences, we focus on making the reasoning visible. I also have experience helping students prepare for unfamiliar questions. We compare examples with different wording or contexts so that they can recognise the underlying principle without relying on a memorised solution.

Teaching approach

I ask for the topic and any relevant class material before we meet. Each session includes an independent attempt, discussion of the reasoning and a new task to check transfer. I keep a brief record of recurring difficulties and use it to choose later revision.

    The external exam practice was useful. Checking what a question is asking before reaching for the calculator has saved me a lot of wasted time.

  • MeeraParent

    Our son is writing with a clearer purpose. Alice discusses his ideas and asks him to justify them; he comes away with something specific to improve in his next practice piece.

  • MartinParent

    A few gaps from earlier in the year were making chemistry calculations difficult for our daughter. Alice worked through them patiently and without making her feel she was behind. She seems much more settled now.

  • BelindaParent

    Alice has helped our son settle into senior maths. She works through the reasoning patiently, then asks him to try a different example. He is much more independent with homework than he was last term.

  • SiennaStudent

    I finally know what to do with feedback like 'develop your argument'. Alice helped me look at one paragraph properly instead of rewriting everything.

  • SusanParent

    Very happy with the physics support. Clear and encouraging.
