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.

Hi, I'm Der-An, and have recently completed a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) at the University of Queensland. As a QASMT graduate with five years of tutoring experience, I'm passionate about teaching science subjects and have also cultivated a strong interest in Japanese language and culture.

I tutor Japanese and Mathematics for Years 6-9, as well as Biology for Years 11-12. 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!

Tutor

Jasmine Lee 

I’ve been passionate about learning from a young age, and if you’re reading this, chances are you care about improving too. As a student myself, I understand how overwhelming and stressful maths or learning a language can feel at times. I’ve been in the same position, so I know what it’s like to feel stuck or confused in class. As a tutor, my goal is to make maths feel less intimidating and more manageable. I focus on explaining things in a simple, clear way and breaking problems down step by step. I also try to approach the explanation in different ways to see what works the best for you. I also try to make lessons more enjoyable, so learning doesn’t feel like a chore. I want students to feel comfortable asking questions, and hope to ease out the tension and feel more like a friend that can help than just a tutor during the sessions.
