About Urja
I have been swimming competitively since I was 8, and have been in multiple international meets during this time, and swam in various regional competitions through school carnivals. Having grown up surrounded by the sport, I am passionate about spreading the joy and excitement that swimming brought to me. So, it was only logical that I become a swim instructor! I taught at a swim school for a year, and have since worked independently with children aged 2-15 and adults from their late thirties onwards, ranging from new swimmers to pre-squad. For squad swimmers, I have designed and worked with them through drills to help target and improve specific skills relevant to improving swim times. Additionally, I have a CPR certificate, a Royal Lifesaving Australia swim license, First Aid Certifications, National Police Check and a WWVP card.

Having splashed through almost a decade as a competitive swimmer, I bring a wealth of experience to the pool, creating personalized plans tailored to each student's needs. With kids, it's all about making a splash, infusing lessons with fun and excitement, while developing the skills essential to swimmers. We become aquatic adventurers together! But when it comes to adults, I ensure that I work through the specific skills they want to improve, and aim to increase their confidence. For those aiming to compete, and not wanting in-person lessons, I am happy to work with you to create and send through some training plans, which specifically target and improve skills such as speed, endurance, and technique.

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.

Details
Lessons are $45/hour for a single swimmer. Happy to give group lessons, however every additional swimmer is an extra $10/hour. If lessons are held at a public pool, I would appreciate having any entry costs covered. Happy to travel to a location of your liking; first 5km away from Highgate Hill will be free but an additional cost of $5/2km will apply if the chosen location is further away (i.e: a location 7km away will be $45/hour + $5 for the travel).
