Hello!
I’m James, and I would describe myself as friendly and optimistic. Outside my studies, I love playing cricket and watching Richmond dominate the AFL.
My experience during VCE taught me that it’s important to enjoy your subjects and maintain a balance between your studies and time to relax, socialise and keep up with other interests (in my case - playing club sports). I had quite a thorough and methodical approach to my studies, completing lots of practice papers and extra study material to build my understanding and application.
I will be conducting VCE Accounting lectures throughout the school term to accompany the student’s classroom learning. In these lectures, we will further explore the more important and complex topics in the course that students often find challenging (eg. balance day adjustments and theory-style exam questions). My lectures will feature an engaging style of notes to enhance their understanding of content, as well as practice exam questions to build application skills. In my past two years of tutoring, I have taught students with a range of abilities and my main goal has been to ensure each student can feel more confident in their knowledge and skills, equipped with strategies to approach their studies and the belief that they can achieve their own individual study goals.
