Hamza Abid

Specialist Advanced/Extension English Tutor

Hey I’m Hamza. I’ve been tutoring HSC English for over five years, and I’ll soon be an accredited English teacher in NSW high schools. English and education are both things I genuinely enjoy, so it pains me to see how tutoring centres fail their students time and time again. The big questions are never answered. How do you make your essays better? Why are your creatives cringe? How do you even study for English? I’m here to answer everything clearly and make this beautiful subject simple again.

Zeydan Khan

Specialist Standard English Tutor

Hey guys my name is Zeydan Khan. I graduated from Al-Faisal College, placing 14th in Standard English, and now pursuing a Bachelor of Law/Business. I am often surprised as I realise that every year so many kids fall short of receiving their dream ATAR. All it takes is that little extra support and guidance to nudge students in the right direction and help them to hit those goals, which is what I endeavor to provide. Having obtained Band 6s in all my subjects, I believe I can pave the path to help these students go the extra mile and ace their exams.

Muhammed Hussein

Specialist Maths & Science Tutor

Hey there, my name is Muhammed Hussein. I graduated with an ATAR of 99.75, and am currently studying Medicine at USyd. Why do I love tutoring and mentoring students high school? Well, I was always taught “You’re either smart or you’re not”, but I firmly believe it’s only through hard work, discipline, and study techniques that I was able to pick myself up and excel in all my subjects. That’s why I believe teaching the content itself is the bare minimum. Teaching should encompass how to mentally prepare yourself and how to actually absorb content through study strategies and techniques, and that’s exactly how I teach.
