Rory focuses on igniting students’ individual faculties of critical thinking, analysis, and imagination. He emphasises the importance of personal voice and flair in writing, organically kindling each student’s unique methods of thought and expression. Rory’s tutoring is bespoke to each student, but his overall method is collaborative and reflexive. He intends to diagnose a student’s current gaps in knowledge, identify what methods of teaching engage the student, and then explore the necessary content through those methods of teaching, adjusting as the student advances to maximise academic growth.
Rory inspires avid querying and criticism, encouraging his students to write consistently to develop their expression of knowledge. Rory is a seasoned and accomplished tutor who is immensely passionate about teaching. He fundamentally believes success occurs through a meticulous balance of challenge and reward.
Rory was born in Edinburgh and moved to the Northern Beaches of Sydney when he was two. He travelled between the United States and Europe during his adolescence. Rory graduated from St. Augustine’s College in 2021, placing in the top three percent of his academic cohort and attaining two state ranks. Rory is also a published writer. His anthology, Bloodlust, sold out during its initial release in 2022. He is currently studying at University College London.
As well as professionally tutoring, Rory is heavily invested in dramatics at university. He has recently started learning French and German and is enamoured with postmodern criticism.
