He has always had a strong passion for maths and physics — subjects where he’s thrived, earning top marks in Ext 1, Ext 2 Maths and Physics. He is also an outdoors enthusiast who loves sport and regular camping trips.
What drives him the most is a deep curiosity about how things work. He aims to help students not just learn formulas, but truly understand the why behind them — where those weird-looking equations come from, and how they connect to the real world. That approach helped him achieve a 99+ ATAR in the 2024 AST, and he hopes to pass on that same insight and confidence to his students.
