rrachtn (0 Monday, 16 September 2024 )I have loved my lessons with Michele - even though I take IB, she has given me plenty of resources and explained everything thoughtfully and concisely. I appreciate her attitude towards learning and how she is always happy to help me consolidate knowledge even outside of our sessions! Huge thank you, I’m definitely seeing improvement ??
Trader responded Wednesday, 18 September 2024It was a delight tutoring you R, thank you! We had a bit of fun figuring out those tricky energetics questions (fun puzzles!) together. Great to hear that your exams have all gone well, best of luck for the rest of your first year with IB. Enjoy all your singing and competitions. Just get in touch in Year 13 as needs be.
amieandjess (4 Tuesday, 17 November 2020 )Michele is an amazing tutor, and I always feel ready for any upcoming exams after having a tutoring session with her. At the start of this year I was so worried about chemistry, and just passing it, let alone enjoying it, but with Michele she makes chem fun and enjoyable. She gives HEAPS of resources and will go over any topic you need as many times as you need it, never once making you feel stupid for not getting it straight away. If you are looking for a tutor Michele is the person to see!
Trader responded Monday, 23 November 2020Thanks J for your review. It was great to see you grow in confidence and find your feet with the Level 2 Chemistry course. I was absolutely delighted to hear about your leadership role at school and am looking forward to hearing more about it next year.
ajjatrading (780 Tuesday, 17 November 2020 )Michele tutored my year 12 daughter this year. She explains the concepts clearly and concisely. It was evident that she was extremely knowledgeable and experienced at teaching. Her manner is kind and patient. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and has exceled at chemistry this year which is fabulous. We can’t thank her enough for all her help.
Trader responded Monday, 23 November 2020Thank you J. A's knowledge of Chemistry is sound and she appreciated being shown much more efficient ways to do the mathematical aspects of the Level 2 course, no more going around in circles! Best of luck to A in the upcoming exams.
