0About Fred
With an impressive tenure of 33 years, i have a wealth of experience in teaching various IB subjects, with particular expertise in Physics, Chemistry and Maths. Over these three decades, i have also been instrumental in guiding students through their Internal Assessment (IA) - key components of the IB curriculum that require nuanced understanding and strategic approach. In addition to this, i have spent 33 years assisting students with Higher School Certificate (HSC) subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Engineering Science.

Teaching Style
My methodology and approach to tutoring
What is your teaching philosophy?
Simplifying hard-to-understand topics to students.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Introduce myself to the student, Ask what topics they need help in, Ask a few questions to probe the student's level. and which topic they would like to start of with. If I feel they need more fundamentals knowledge, I'll go back and start from there.
