Samuel Derak

I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Commerce at the University of Sydney and recently graduated high school from Reddam House in 2024 achieving Band 6 results in English Advanced, Economics, Business Studies and Legal Studies with a 97.4 ATAR. My time at Reddam House helped me develop strong communication, leadership, and analytical skills that I continue to apply in my studies. 

As a tutor, I strive to create a positive and motivating environment where students feel confident in their abilities. I believe that a strong, supportive relationship is key to helping students achieve their goals, and I focus on tailoring my approach to each individual’s needs. Drawing from my experience in competitive debating, competing in both the Eastside Debating Competition and the International Debating Championships I know that clear communication and critical thinking are essential in overcoming academic challenges. Together, we’ll work through obstacles and develop strategies that not only improve their academic results but also equip them with the skills needed for lifelong success.
