How ATARwiz started
The path to ATARwiz
- Two-time Dux
- 99.95 ATAR
- Doctor of Medicine program at the University of Melbourne
- Harvard Medical School research fellow
- Stanford visiting researcher
ATARwiz was started by Benjamin, a Chancellor's Scholar in the Doctor of Medicine program at the University of Melbourne. After finishing school with a 99.95 ATAR as two-time Dux and tutoring more than 300 students, he built ATARwiz to give VCE students what the best tutors give: clear first-principles teaching, exam technique, and a system that keeps them ahead all year. Benjamin teaches every ATARwiz class. Before medicine took over, Benjamin spent a year as a research fellow in the Abudayyeh-Gootenberg Lab at Harvard Medical School working on genome engineering, and was a visiting researcher at Stanford. He teaches chemistry the way researchers think about it: from first principles, not memorised dot points.

Verified on TutorFinder“My daughter was tutored by Ben in Maths Methods, Chemistry, and English. After each lesson, he provided her with extra homework and tailored the sessions to match her needs and school curriculum. He is well-spoken and communicates clearly, engaging my daughter and making her feel comfortable asking questions. Thanks to Ben, Jasmine has become a much more confident and vocal student, and this has been clearly reflected in her school reports and grades!”

Verified on TutorFinder“Both in my own experience working with Ben and watching him dominate the academic field at school, time and time again he has proven that he is a step above the rest when it comes to work ethic, organisation and deep understanding of subject material. Working with Ben can be nothing but an asset, and I leave him my highest recommendation.”

Verified on TutorFinder“I've had some experience with Ben as my tutor in Year 11 VCE for the past 3 months with some gaps in between. I started to gain multiple tips and tricks from his advice as well as a clearer understanding in several chemistry and physics topics. He is a very competent tutor and also knows how to make a concept easier to understand for a student with little prior knowledge. So far I have benefited a lot from his teaching, and look forward to keep him as a tutor in future.”
