HEY! I'm Alex, and I graduated with a perfect ATAR and UCAT as Vice Captain of James Ruse in 2025 while also serving as CUO in Army Cadets.

I was able to find that you can balance leadership, extracurriculars, AND academic excellence: and YOU CAN DO IT TOO!! With the resources, mindset and strategies that I provide, I'm looking to help every student achieve their potential.

Currently accepting only english Y12 students.
