Co-Founder and Tutor
Seiya Chen
I'm a 2021 Brisbane State High School graduate who achieved an ATAR of 99.55 and have been tutoring for five years. I recently completed a Bachelor of Physiotherapy and now work as a physiotherapist. I'm eager to share the resources I've accumulated throughout my academic journey, including practice exams, study notes, and proven strategies for success.
Having navigated the ATAR system myself, I understand the challenges students face and know how to connect with them effectively. My goal is to help each student build confidence, reach their academic targets, and exceed their own expectations. As a founder, I'm also committed to equipping our tutors with quality resources and ongoing support, empowering them to inspire students to engage deeply with their learning and achieve excellence.

My university studies in healthcare give me a solid foundation to provide targeted, effective support for biology students. I'm also fluent in Mandarin Chinese, so students and parents are welcome to communicate with me in Mandarin if that's more comfortable!
