Information about Sue - Rowville tutor

Personal Description:

I am a lecturer at Monash University and I have completed my PhD in organic chemistry from ANU. I'm passionate about teaching chemistry to others especially students who are keen to learn. I'm originally from Malaysia (moved to Aus 15 year ago!) thus I am multilingual and sensitive to cultural diversity.

Tuition Experience:

I have 5 years experience in lecturing first year general organic chemistry, second year biological chemistry and third year medicinal chemistry. Thus, I know it is extremely important to have a strong fundamental knowledge about chemistry to master applied subjects further into a degree.

Tutoring Approach:

I believe every student is different, so there is no one method to fit all. For a tuition session I would go through the key terms and principles, followed by exercise questions to understand and apply the concepts and finally review the understanding and correct any misconceptions. I would want students to learn 'how to think' rather than memorising to get through an exam.
For year high school students, I will be focusing only on Unit 4 - organic chemistry.
