Here at Talent we’ve amassed a variety of Mentors which have taught and encouraged our students throughout the years – guiding them through high school and the HSC.
We call our teachers and tutors ‘Mentors’ because they deliver more than simply theory. Talent 100 Mentors are all outstanding achievers, but it’s their passion for teaching and mentoring which matters most. Whilst an exceptional academic record is a must, our Mentors are also chosen for their ability to work with students of all levels and provide the pastoral guidance for future success.
Not only do we want to give thanks to these Mentors who have enriched the lives of many at Talent, but want to share their unique personalities and passions while also inspiring the next generation of high school students to strive for their best.

What’s your favourite part about teaching Mathematics?
I love teaching differentiation and probability
Can you share some tips for students sitting the Advanced Mathematics HSC paper this year?
Try and do as many past papers as you can (whether they are from the HSC, your school’s trials, or even from other schools)
The best way to learn your craft is by doing plenty of questions and recognising patterns! Doing them in timed conditions is also essential to build time management skills.
Where do you see yourself after Talent and University?
I see myself working as an environmental lawyer!
Fun Fact:
I love playing the sports that many others would find boring (especially cricket and golf!)
I can also speak Latin and Ancient Greek
