About Urja
I am a high-achieving second-year medical student with an exceptional academic record, graduating Year 12 in 2023 with a 98.95 ATAR and direct undergraduate entry into Medicine, receiving offers from three prestigious medical schools. My passion for education is supported by extensive tutoring experience across English, mathematics, and science, as well as a deep understanding of NAPLAN requirements for Years 7 and 9.
In English, I excelled throughout high school, achieving unit scores of 90+ for all Year 11 and 12 semesters in Literature and English and consistently topping my cohort. My writing has been recognized through numerous publications and accolades, including the Levitate Anthology (2023), Teen Ink magazine, and the FOBISIA Short Story Contest, where I was shortlisted. These achievements reflect my ability to guide students in mastering reading comprehension, persuasive writing, and narrative skills with clarity and creativity.
In mathematics, I placed in the top 25% of the University of Waterloo Gauss Maths Contest and excelled in Specialist Methods during Years 11 and 12, consistently ranking in the top 5% of my cohort. My strong foundation in STEM was further demonstrated when I won the Tom Leech Memorial Trophy for Scientific Research for an interdisciplinary journal article.
With a proven track record of academic excellence and a passion for teaching, I deliver engaging and targeted lessons that cater to the specific needs of each student. My personalized approach ensures students not only excel in NAPLAN but also develop lasting confidence and skills in literacy and numeracy.

As a second-year medical student with a strong academic foundation across multiple disciplines, I bring a structured and results-oriented approach to NAPLAN preparation for Year 7 and Year 9 students. My extensive tutoring experience spans over three years, during which I have successfully guided more than 50 students from Years 3–12 in English, mathematics, and science. Having achieved over 90% in my Year 12 English exams and placed in the top 25% of participants in the University of Waterloo Gauss Mathematics Contest, I am well-equipped to deliver targeted and engaging lessons tailored to NAPLAN’s specific requirements.
My teaching methodology emphasizes breaking down complex questions into manageable steps, using visual and auditory techniques to enhance comprehension. With a focus on key NAPLAN competencies such as reading comprehension, persuasive and narrative writing, numeracy, and problem-solving, I ensure students are well-prepared to excel under exam conditions.

We started UCAT Tutoring for both, my daughter and son, with Urja earlier this year and they absolutely aced their exams today! Our family is so grateful to her for the invaluable support and strategies she provided them, and her honest approach to lessons- she helped my children even outside lesson times, and ensured that they were kept on the right track. She has played a key role in helping them through this process, and we are looking forward to collaborating with her again when interview times roll around (finger's crossed).
Urja has been teaching me Year 11 Biology and Chemistry, and she's helped me improve my grades so much- she always walks me through tough concepts in a way that makes them easy to understand, and is happy to answer any questions I may have! She also makes learning fun, since she's always positive and clearly outlines how I can improve in a constructive manner. I'm so glad I started lessons with her- she's the best!
Urja tutors with me for a non-profit and we both teach calculus, algebra, and SAT reading to underpriveleged students from the United States and Canada. She is lovely to work with and oozes cheerfulness, always positively reinforcing her students and to increase their confidence, while improving their knowledge.
Urja tutored my daughter English literature for 2 years, and brought her grades from low C's to A's. She was incredibly dedicated to teaching lessons, and adapted them to fit learning styles, explaining hard concepts patiently and effectively. She was lovely to interact with, always enthusiastic, and was ready to go the extra mile to help.
