Approach to Tutoring:

Lachlan is driven to enable students to reach the fullness of their academic potential, focusing on teaching his students to be adaptable and think analytically when answering any given question. He strives to ensure his students reach their personal academic goals and broaden their academic horizons.

Lachlan works by first helping students identify their strengths and weaknesses, and from there, sets targeted goals for them to improve. He helps students reflect on these through regular feedback in order to maximise their academic performance.

Lachlan endeavours to motivate each student to engage with their academic work, and foster a thorough understanding of all concepts of their work.

He was an avid cricketer, playing in Knox's 2nd XI, along with playing soccer, squash and doing swimming during his time there. Further, he was involved extensively in music - playing the bagpipes, violin and trumpet, along with singing in several choirs. Finally, he held leadership positions across the Cadet Unit, Pipe Band and as a Peer Support Leader.

Lachlan was well-rounded in his performance across both essay and STEM subjects during his time at school, leading to his pursual of a degree that combines both of these facets. He will be studying Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Laws at the University of Sydney over the next 5 years.
