Lucas Negro

Hi there! My name is Lucas and I am a 2024 graduate from the King's School, currently studying a Bachelor of Commerce/Law at The University of Sydney. With a strong passion for learning, I am extremely excited to share the wisdom and knowledge I have gained from completing the HSC with outstanding accolades. Having just recently navigated the ups and downs of the HSC, I thoroughly understand what works and what doesn't, and I hope to guide as many students as possible to unlock their potential!

My Results:

• English Advanced: 96 (98 external mark - State Rank equivalent)
• PDHPE: 96 (8th in NSW)
• Economics: 94 (96 external mark)

My Approach:

My personal teaching philosophy revolves around finding the individual teaching and study styles which resonate with my students, and tailoring feedback, lessons and demonstrations in an effort to convey complex ideas in a comprehensible manner. I believe that studying for the HSC doesn't have to be mentally draining or boring, it's about finding ways to translate class learnt knowledge to your own life and finding value in your studies. English used to be my least favourite subject at school, but I found that the more I threw myself into the texts and the worlds which surrounded them, the more I could appreciate the value of English in challenging my perspectives and beliefs! I aim to help others discover a similar appreciation for subjects they may write off as "useless" or "boring".

I also offer tangible resources to aid your studies - including notes, exemplar responses, 20/20 essays and essay plans, revision tools, practice papers and more. In general, I aim to act as both a tutor and a mentor, providing advice and guidance for my students who may have questions about balancing their studies with other commitments, or might be wondering about study options beyond school!
