Meet Your Talent 100 Mentor: Helena Ke

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.

Helena’s Top 5 Study Tips:

I strongly recommend exercising, minimum of 2-3 times each week. This will help you clear your mind and improve your studying.

Ask your teachers or Mentors for help whenever you have questions! We are more than happy to offer explanations, words of advice and support.

If you are disappointed by your marks, do not dwell on it. Understand where you went wrong, ask for feedback and use this as a learning experience so you may improve in the future.

If your classmates ask for help about a question, offer to explain the answer to them. In doing so, you will find that you have a better understanding of the concept yourself.

Your mental health is important. If you are feeling mentally unwell, give yourself a break and talk to a friend, caregiver, school counsellor or someone you trust.

Feeling inspired for your own post-HSC journey, do you need a little more motivation?
