Why Knoji?

In the Knoji classroom, I make sure that each student is cared for and understands the material, while still making it a safe and an enjoyable experience.

If you could give one study tip to your younger self, what would it be and why?

Remember to stay consistent. Studying isn’t something that ends after a week or a month. It’s something that has to be done for your entire life - so take care of yourself, study little steps consistently. Try to find the fun in it somehow too, it makes the journey a whole lot better!

What's your superpower?

My brain can automatically organise all information - and prioritise tasks in order 🙂 Like a super computer! Haha!

✏️ Macquarie University, Bachelor of Clinical Science

Why Knoji?

I teach at Knoji because it fosters a good environment for both tutors and students. The small classes encourage a tight-knit, personalised environment catering for students at various levels of understanding.

If you could give one study tip to your younger self, what would it be and why?

Start doing past-papers earlier. It really helps to build repetition with questions you may see in your exams while getting you comfortable with actually tackling more complex questions.

What's your superpower?

Being able to spawn food on command.

Why Knoji?

Knoji is a community where students feel safe to approach tutors with questions and concerns - it is a place they feel prioritised

If you could give one study tip to your younger self, what would it be and why?

Good mental & physical health = better study habits: Good mental and physical health improve focus, memory, and energy levels, making studying more effective. Managing stress and getting enough sleep help prevent burnout and enhance cognitive function. Healthy habits also promote discipline and consistency, leading to better study routines and academic success.

What's your superpower?

I work way better under immense amounts of pressure than no pressure

✏️ University of Sydney, Bachelor of Arts and Advanced Studies (Double major in English and Film) (2021 E12 Scholarship and Walter Reid Memorial Prize recipient)

Why Knoji?

I teach at Knoji because they value both academic success and empowerment, guiding students towards taking control of their own learning. As a tutor, I create a classroom environment where students leverage their strengths to overcome challenges. I encourage rewriting any task you get; group discussions, fostering collaboration to find solutions; and I always welcome questions to ensure everyone feels supported in their learning.

If you could give one study tip to your younger self, what would it be and why?

Success is not linear and that's okay. Some exams you will do better in than others; always talk to your teacher's about the work, take on the feedback, implement it and keep trying until you get it right.

What's your superpower?

Getting people excited over things they know nothing about - I'm a very animated yapper.

🎓 2020 Hornsby Girls High School Graduate

✏️ University of Sydney, Bachelor of Applied Science (Physiotherapy)

Why Knoji?

As a Knoji tutor, I prioritise helping students to see that academic and personal growth is always possible, no matter where they start. By breaking down difficult concepts and teaching effective strategies, I focus on building the confidence and resilience needed for students to improve and continually grow.

If you could give one study tip to your younger self, what would it be and why?

One study tip I would give my younger self is to not be afraid of receiving as much feedback as possible. Especially for English essays, it is more effective to write a terrible first draft and keep editing based on feedback than to spend hours trying to write the perfect essay straight away. Getting different perspectives on your work can inspire new ideas, improve clarity and lead to stronger essays.

What's your superpower?

The power to make even the most boring English texts feel like a binge-worthy Netflix show.

Why Knoji?

I teach maths at Knoji because I’m passionate about mentoring students and helping them reach their full potential. Knoji gives me the space to tailor support and understand how to help each student.

If you could give one study tip to your younger self, what would it be and why?

Doing lots of past paper questions but making sure I focus on revising and learning from mistakes. Not looking back on your mistakes will slow your growth and understanding of which areas you need more focus in.

What's your superpower?

I am always able to remain composed under pressure.

✏️ University of New South Wales, Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science

Why Knoji?

As a Knoji tutor I prioritise accommodating for all my students individual needs.

If you could give one study tip to your younger self, what would it be and why?

Always spend more time on practising questions and getting feedback rather than focusing too much on the theory only.

What's your superpower?

I’m always able to frame concepts in a way that allows people to understand the bigger picture.

Why Knoji?

As a Knoji tutor I prioritise the understanding of core mathematical concepts in a supportive and encouraging space.

If you could give one study tip to your younger self, what would it be and why?

Don’t be your worst enemy- tell yourself you’re good at something, push yourself to love learning, and the rest will follow easier than you could’ve imagined.

What's your superpower?

Sounding confident even when I have absolutely no idea.
