Biology experience
My experience with the company was great, my biology tutor, Sania Gokhale, helped me become confident with the year 12 biology syllabus. Her teaching strategies allowed me to focus on the course in a way that made sense. I highly recommend!

Chem IB Tutot
I genuinely cannot recommend Alice Xu enough! Before starting tutoring with her, Chemistry was a subject I used to be really scared of, and I often doubted my ability to understand the content. Since having regular sessions with her, my confidence has improved so much. She has such a great way of breaking down difficult concepts and explaining things in a way that actually makes sense. She's incredibly patient, encouraging and always makes sure I properly understand something before moving on. What I appreciate most is that she's helped me go from feeling overwhelmed by Chemistry to actually feeling capable and confident when approaching questions. She's made such a difference in both my understanding and my attitude towards the subject, and I'm so grateful for all her help.

Alice Xu KIS Academics Tutor
I have been tutored by Alice Xu for the past year, and have seen not only my results improve, but also my confidence develop. She is kind, patient and conscientious, creating her own summary documents that have helped me at times more than my own class teacher. She worked tirelessly to support me in my IA, and was always available to answer my questions. Because of Alice, I started looking forward to Bio lessons at school, so that I could tell her what I'd learnt, and looking forward to our tutoring sessions, because she was so welcoming to any question, even ones that weren't specifically test based and just out of curiosity!

IB Chemistry tutor
I have Alice Xu as my IB Chemistry tutor as it was my weakest subject and it has been an amazing experience so far. She is very knowledgeable, patient, and the sweetest which has made me actually look forward to our lessons and to learn chemistry. She has helped me so much in only a short period of time but she’s made me feel so much more confident and helped me understand topics I have struggled with in an easy way.

My accounting tutor is Nishtha, she has helped me so much as a year 12 student who was struggling in accounting. She explains things in a way that’s easy to understand which gave me confidence when in my accounting class at school. She is very kind and easy to talk to. Definitely recommend!!

English Language
I’ve had English Language tutoring with Viola Halmai for the past year. She’s been extremely helpful with providing me useful feedback for many essays. Her lessons are always tailored to my needs and focuses on how to benefit me as a year 12 student. Moreover her lessons are not only helpful but very enjoyable as she provides a safe environment for our lessons. I recommend Viola to all high school students in need of tutoring.

Great Chem Tutor
Initially, I struggled with Chemistry once the workload got ramped up, however Nicholas D'Alonzo was of good assistance. He was great at pushing me with harder questions so that later I'd be ahead in my own learning, and he's pretty credible considering the fact he has a PhD -- meaning he's also able to give further knowledge outside just the standard syllabus.
I recommend him if you want tutor for WACE Chemistry or for any other of the subjects he offers.
