Our team of tutors

Co-Founder & Director 

​

​Hi, I’m Luca, the co-founder of East Tutoring. I graduated from Reddam House in 2023 with an ATAR of 96.35, ranking 12th in the state for English Standard. My HSC Visual Arts work was selected for the 2023 ARTEXPRESS showcase, and I achieved four Band 6 results across my subjects. I’m now studying a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Business at UTS.

​

Over the past two years, I’ve been independently tutoring around twelve students each week in Business Studies, English Standard, Mathematics Standard, and Visual Arts. I’ve also tutored a range of students from Year 6 through to the HSC, helping them strengthen their academic skills and confidence. I’ve had the privilege of working with students from schools such as Reddam House, Moriah College, Emanuel School, and Rose Bay Secondary College.

​

I started East Tutoring because I saw how many agencies were underpaying talented tutors while charging families high rates. I wanted to create something fairer — a tutoring network where tutors are properly valued and students receive genuine, high-quality support. My goal has always been to help students succeed, especially those who need a bit of extra guidance, and to make learning engaging by explaining concepts in a clear and relatable way.

Hi, I’m Toby, the co-founder and one of the directors of East Tutoring. I graduated from Reddam House in 2023 with an ATAR of 95.75, achieving Band 6 results in Business Studies, Mathematics Advanced, and Mathematics Extension 1. I’m now studying a Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Advanced Studies (majoring in Mathematics) at the University of Sydney, where I continue to build the analytical and communication skills that shape my approach to tutoring.

​

After finishing high school, I began tutoring almost immediately and have since worked with over thirty students across a range of subjects. Through this, I’ve developed a strong passion for helping students gain confidence, understand difficult concepts, and reach their full academic potential. I’ve had the opportunity to work with students from a variety of schools, each with unique goals and learning styles, which has deepened my appreciation for personalised, engaging teaching.

​

I founded East Tutoring after realising how hard it was for families to find affordable, high-quality tutors, and for tutors to find students without relying on agencies that underpay them and take large commissions. I wanted to build something fairer for both sides: a tutoring network that values its tutors and gives students genuine, high-quality support. My goal is to make learning accessible, motivating, and effective for every student who joins East Tutoring.

I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Media and Communications and International Relations at the University of Sydney as a Dalyell Scholar. I graduated from Reddam House in 2023 with an ATAR of 98.35.

I have extensive experience tutoring English (all grades, including HSC Advanced, Extension, and Standard), Modern History (HSC and all grades), as well as Music and Drama for all school levels. Over the past two years, I’ve worked with a range of private students and with Serebrum Education, a tutoring organisation based in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. I’m passionate about helping students build confidence in their abilities and develop a genuine appreciation for their subjects. My approach focuses on making learning clear, structured, and engaging, so each student feels supported and motivated to achieve their best.

Hi, I’m Romy Whitten. I recently graduated from Moriah College in the Class of 2024 with an ATAR of 97.3, and I plan to begin studying Architecture at the University of Sydney in 2026. Over the past year, I’ve gained valuable tutoring experience working with Academic Excellence, a tutoring firm based in Double Bay. I specialise in tutoring Studies of Religion (1 and 2 Unit), covering all HSC topics including Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and the Core Studies. I also teach Modern History for all grades, with a focus on HSC modules such as Power and Authority, The Cold War, Russia and the Soviet Union, and Apartheid in South Africa.

I achieved high Band 6 results in both Modern History and Studies of Religion in my HSC, and I’m passionate about helping students gain confidence and perform at their best. My teaching approach centres on clear explanations, structured lessons, and a supportive learning environment that helps students understand complex ideas and achieve outstanding results.

Hi, I’m Robbie Kaplan. I graduated from Reddam House in 2024 with an ATAR of 95.9, achieving Band 6 results in Modern History, Ancient History, History Extension, Legal Studies, Advanced English, and Standard Mathematics. I began studying a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Commerce at Macquarie University at the start of 2025. My academic journey has given me a strong foundation in critical thinking, research, and communication skills I’m eager to share with my students through tutoring.

I’m passionate about tutoring because I believe it’s one of the most effective ways to help students build confidence and reach their academic goals. My aim is to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where every student feels capable and motivated to succeed. I offer tutoring for all year levels, helping students at every stage of their high school journey develop the skills and understanding they need to thrive.

Hi, I’m a 2023 Reddam House graduate with an ATAR of 96.7. During my time at school, I thrived in the humanities and creative subjects, and I’ve since been tutoring students from schools across Sydney’s eastern suburbs in these areas. I specialise in Advanced and Extension English, Modern and Extension History, and Dance and Drama. I’m also highly experienced in tutoring Standard English and take pride in my ability to adapt my knowledge of all HSC modules to any prescribed text. My teaching approach focuses on building strong analytical skills and helping students express their ideas with clarity and confidence.

In addition to HSC tutoring, I have extensive experience working with younger year groups, helping them strengthen their foundational skills and develop a genuine interest in learning.

Hi, I'm Max a dedicated tutor currently studying Software Engineering and Business at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). I have a strong understanding of the Advanced Mathematics, Business Studies, and PDHPE HSC syllabuses, as well as extensive knowledge and practical experience in software engineering and programming. Having successfully guided family and friends through their studies, I bring both expertise and patience to my tutoring. Graduating with an ATAR of 94.15, I’m committed to helping students achieve their academic goals with confidence and clarity.

Hey I'm Sam, i graduated in 2023 achieving an ATAR of 99.15, earning the gold medal in Business Studies, the bronze medal in Economics, and a top-five ranking in all my remaining subjects  all while working 20–30 hours per week at Reddam House, one of NSW’s leading private schools. I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Economics at the Australian National University (ANU). I’ve tutored more than ten students across Economics, Business Studies, Advanced and Standard English, Advanced Mathematics, and key academic skills such as essay writing and time management. I’m passionate about teaching and aspire to pursue a career in academia, where I hope to inspire students to think critically, develop their own ideas, and understand concepts from first principles.

Hi, I’m Zane. I graduated from Moriah College in 2022 and am currently studying a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery at James Cook University. I achieved an ATAR of 99.95 with Band 6 results in all subjects, and ranked 1st in the state for Biology. I specialise in tutoring Year 11 and 12 Biology and Chemistry, as well as maths and science for students in Year 10 and below.

Over the past three years, I’ve gained extensive experience in private tutoring and have worked with students across a wide range of abilities, helping them to reach their academic potential. My approach to tutoring is centred on meeting students where they are at, understanding how they learn best and adapting my teaching style to best suit them. I focus on building strong conceptual understanding and effective exam technique, rather than rote memorisation, so students can retain information and apply it confidently.

Hi, I’m Zack. I’m a 2025 Emanuel School graduate, where I was Dux of the School and achieved a 99.40 ATAR. I was an All-Round Achiever in 2025, receiving a Band 6 / E4 in Economics, Business Studies, Mathematics Extension 2, and English Advanced.

​

In 2024, I accelerated three units of my HSC, achieving an E4 in Mathematics Extension 1 and a Band 6 in Mathematics Advanced, placing first in my cohort for both subjects. As such, I specialise in tutoring Mathematics across Advanced, Extension 1, and Extension 2.

Throughout my studies, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the skills underpinning academic success and the ability to engage critically with ideas. These are skills I aim to actively foster in my students not only to improve their results, but to help them become more confident and capable learners overall. I’m passionate about helping students build strong foundational skills and achieve results they’re proud of. I am currently also studying a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Economics at the University of Sydney.
