*FIRST LESSON FREE!* 2/3/4 unit MATHS, PHYSICS, ENG HSC TUITION PARRA/HILLS/FAIRFIELD
Hi guys
My name is Clinton Colaco and I have recently graduated from the selective school Girraween High School (ranked 24th in State) in 2009. For HSC 2010 students I will be offering Chemistry, Ancient History, English and Mathematics (up to Extension 2) tuition. My 2009 ATAR was 98.90. I will be studying Pharmacy at Sydney University this year.
About the subjects I will be tutoring.
MATHEMATICS AND MATHEMATICS EXTENSION 1/2
PHYSICS
ENGLISH
Why choose me?
Important details:
I understand that having a tuition session for the first time is a learning experience for both the student and the tutor. Therefore, as a special offer, the first half hour of tuition will be free. I will essentially introduce myself and get to know you a bit more. The only condition is that for the first lesson, it must be conducted at my house in Greystanes. Note you must also specify this promotion prior to the confirmed lesson day.
Other Subjects:
For all inquiries, either PM me or contact me through email on clinton.colaco@gmail.com.
If you have any help related questions to any of the subjects I have completed, feel free to contact me. I will try and answer them to the best of my ability.

I will be studying Pharmacy at Sydney University this year.
About the subjects I will be tutoring.
MATHEMATICS AND MATHEMATICS EXTENSION 1/2
- HSC marks of 95 in MX1 and 92 in MX2 (93 in actual exam)
- Achieved a raw mark of 81/84 for the Girraween MX1 trial.
- I have got plenty of resources available including above 100 past papers with full solutions from schools like James Ruse, Sydney Boys and Sydney Grammer.
- I have aided many people in my grade with their problems outside of school time on a regular basis so I have some experience in tutoring this subject.
- My approach: I'd probably try to gauge what kind of level you are at if you are not sure. If you feel you are competent at maths well then I will try and stay away from teaching you the subject (as this will simply waste your time). I would focus more on exam technique and familiarising you with how questions appear in the exam. If you feel that you are not as confident with all concepts amongst some of the topics, I will be more than happy to teach you aspects of the course and then move towards exam technique. If I feel it is necessary, I might set a small amount of homework but that is up to you whether you want to do it or not.
- I am willing to teach students not only sitting their HSC in 2010 but other years as well such as 7-10.
PHYSICS
- Internally ranked 15/55
- I have plenty of resources including 30+ papers from selective and highly ranked private high schools all with full solutions.
- I have written my own comprehensive summaries for each of the 4 modules I have studied. They have been made with the aid of Jacaranda Physics, Physics Contexts, Dotpoint, Excel. These notes have also been thoroughly checked by a person who came first in the state and my class teacher so I can assure you that they are accurate.
- Many students find Physics challenging purely because they feel this subject is like another science or a history where you must cram every bit of information you know. This is not true, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND the concepts to be able to apply it. In teaching this subject, I will apply many examples to supplement your learning as well as diagrams, both of which I feel are important to entirely grasping this subject. I will also focus on exam technique.
- My option was Medical Physics.
ENGLISH
- HSC mark of 91
- I have plenty of resources from selective and highly ranked private high schools. These range from past papers to notes/essays on different texts/modules.
- Whilst there are many english texts out there for both english advanced and english standard, I believe that essay writing is still a core part of each module. This has been a particular strength of mine which has enabled me to receive an A (13+/15 or 17+/20) in all the modules I have completed throughout my HSC year.
- My texts were Blade Runner/Frankenstein, Poetry by Kenneth Slessor, Julius Caesar and Romulus My Father.
- If you are studying other texts other than the ones mentioned above, please still contact me as I have studied many of the HSC prescribed texts in my junior years.
- Some of things I can provide you includes essay refining, structuring points into an essay and deconstructing a text.
Why choose me?
- I know what you're going through! Don't forget not that long ago, I was exactly in your position. Teacher's to some extent do not understand the true meaning behind this.
- I have achieved many things during my HSC year but I have also made plenty of mistakes and witnessed others make crucial mistakes. By sharing these mistakes, tuition with me will ensure you MAXIMISE YOUR MARKS and ensure you EXCEL.
- I am very FLEXIBLE in my approach to tuition, addressing your strengths and weaknesses. It doesn't matter whether you’re a student struggling to cope with a course or one who wishes to excel. I can ensure you can SUCCEED.
- I have got the resources. Hundreds of past papers with FULL SOLUTIONS and many more without.
Important details:
- Tuition will be held at my house in Greystanes near Parramatta. I am however willing to meet people at local libraries including Merrylands and Parramatta. I may be able to travel but send me a pm or email (see below for contact details). Also, since I will be at Sydney Uni from Monday to Friday, I am also willing to tutor students there if they can meet me in the library. Please inquire more about this.
- Since I am free for the next few months, I am willing to tutor any day.
- I feel tuition should be about 1.5 hours in length and 2hrs at the longest. However if you feel that it should be longer or shorter, let me know, i’m flexible.
- For group sessions (no more than 5 people), I will be charging $25/hr otherwise it will be $30 for single sessions.

Other Subjects:
- I completed HSC chemistry and received a band 6 in the external exam. I feel I am quite competent in the subject and throughly enjoyed it. I have a set of comprehensive notes that were made from a variety of the major textbooks as well as previous state rankers notes. I have plenty of resources so please enquire!
- Having also completed HSC Ancient History, I am able to offer tuition however considering all the options available, tuition may be limited. Apart from the core topic, I did Sparta, Tiberius Gracchus and Political Revolution in Rome 133-78 BC. I received a final mark of 94 but 96 in the HSC EXAM. Contact me for more about how I can assist you.
