Heyy, Iโ€™m Nina and I graduated as School Vice-Captain of James Ruse in 2025.

Having devoted myself to the world of HSC in the past few years, I know what both INTERNAL and EXTERNAL markers want, so people of all schools are welcome! I have a comprehensive understanding of all 6 courses I sat โ€“ I wasnโ€™t satisfied until I knew it all, so you can be sure that you will learn solid knowledge foundations too. Iโ€™m utterly fastidious about detail, so I know the โ€œnicheโ€ tips and insights that you can only get from years of experience and re-engagement with content. Iโ€™m here to cater and tailor your learning style toward success; I have seen and tried so many study methods, ONE WILL WORK FOR YOU!! Most of all, I want you to enjoy your subjects!!
