(6 reviews)

Personal Description:

Multiple 100%, A+ and 7s across all years * 100% uni admission rate * Multiple 99+ ATARs * Half all students 2+ years ahead * SUCCESS UPDATE (JAN-DEC 2023): Sixteen perfect (100%) marks, thirty A+s, thirty six As with fifteen students. Twenty two year 2-12 students have improved 20%+ within one-two terms. A year 12 student has obtained an academic scholarship with top marks in Math at Curtin University. Two year 12 students have obtained university academic merit scholarships. Recent successes include tutoring the youngest university Math student in Queensland, national and international award winners and other extremely high achievers from across Australia. *Over 90% of all students improved 20-50% or maintained straight As / H(D)s.

Teaching Math is a strong passion for me, the entire process of preparing and delivering lesson content, motivating students, creating and strengthening a culture of high achievement and personal fulfillment underpinned by best study and personal habits, as well as keeping track of students' progress and success is extremely fulfilling, and thus I can offer a wealth of fresh, current experience and very long-term proved success track record than is rare to find: 25-50+ regular weekly students year round, 600+ past one-on-one students, 20000+ hours of highly successful intensive full time work experience. My professional, approachable, easy going nature, along with very high expectations towards all my students are key in helping me achieve top-rate results regardless of previous grades, attitudes or study skills.

BEYOND MATH, IT'S ABOUT HELPING STUDENTS SEE HOW BRILLIANT, ACCOMPLISHED AND SELF CONFIDENT THEY CAN BE!

*Highlights of my work*
Personal commitment to unlocking my students' potential. I greatly value your trust and make sure both students and parents are very happy with the outcomes.
Time & stress management; study, goal setting and test/exam taking skills are assessed from the start. *This is key to promote improvement in Math and all other subjects*
As I teach intensively 25-50+ students weekly year round, I know the most commonly tested topics and prioritise them.
All questions are welcomed and all students are treated with great encouragement, high expectation, attention and respect.
Students are constantly encouraged to achieve higher proficiency levels, we move to more advanced material as soon as they seem confident. Fast, steady improvements are not uncommon them.
Along with understanding the principles and academic improvement, special emphasis on confidence, enjoying the discovery and learning process, and realising how simple yet very beautiful and rewarding Math can be!

*WE ARE ALL MUCH MORE CAPABLE AND STRONGER THAN WHAT WE MAY THINK WE ARE*

The best personal and work relationships are built on trust and shared goals. I have been offering the same level of reliability and results as the most prestigious brick-and-mortar tuition centres in Australia for several years. I continuously invest in my skills as tutor, coach and mentor and own a personal library with well over a hundred books on teaching, education, Mathematics, psychology, the brain, memory, academic writing, success, personal growth and related topics.

*CULTIVATING THE BEST HABITS EVERY DAY IS THE SECRET TO SUCCESS*

Tutoring Approach:

BEYOND MATH, IT'S ABOUT HELPING STUDENTS SEE HOW BRILLIANT, ACCOMPLISHED AND SELF CONFIDENT THEY CAN BE!

With great passion for Mathematics and Education, and coming from a family of Engineers and Teachers, I combine the best of both worlds to provide the best explanations, strategies and overall educational support. The objective with all my students is to help them progress rapidly and improve their results consistently; increases of 20-30% within 2 weeks of starting lessons are not uncommon among them. *Each of my students' outcomes is MY OWN TOP PRIORITY*. With over 12 years of experience and over 600 1-on-1 past students, I am very confident with different attitudes and learning styles, and not only explain the topics in a fully comprehensible, tried-and-tested step-by-step way, but make sure discipline, focus, self-assurance and work ethic improve as well.

*ACHIEVING EXCELLENCE IS WITHIN THE REACH OF EVERY STUDENT*

My approach goes well beyond tutoring, I coach and mentor my students paying close attention to all aspects of their education and personal growth (study material, motivation, habits) so they become consistently more accomplishment-minded. Beyond subject content, thorough assessment and constructive feedback of study and personal habits are provided continuously, lesson by lesson, with strong emphasis on discipline, focus, hard work and self confidence, so they become better, more fulfilled and successful in Math *and their other subjects too*, a decisive factor particularly in years 11 and 12.

Furthermore, I do understand the economic and time investment involved, and offer a completely personalised study plan tailored to the student's needs. Regular 2 hs/week of lessons results in at least a consistent B plus, and in most instances A. Having lived, studied and worked in four continents (North and South America, Europe and Oceania), work experience in **Contact Detail Removed**com and mining companies and postgraduate studies in the UK and USA allow me to offer a more well-rounded educational experience.

*WE ARE ALL MUCH MORE CAPABLE AND STRONGER THAN WHAT WE MAY THINK WE ARE*

Year by year my students have successfully gained admission to / graduated from ANU, University of Adelaide, UniSA, Flinders University, University of Melbourne, Monash University, RMIT, Deakin University, University of Sydney, UNSW, Macquarie University, University of Technology Sydney, University of Queensland, Queensland University of Technology, Bond University, University of the Sunshine Coast, CQU, James Cook University, University of Western Australia, Curtin University, Edith Cowan University, Australian Defence Force Academy and top-rated overseas universities. A substantial number of them enter highly competitive and demanding programs in Medicine, Dentistry, Physiotherapy, Optometry, Medical Imaging, Biotechnology, Veterinary Science, Law, Architecture, Civil / Aeronautical / Electrical / Mechanical / Chemical / Biomedical Engineering, Information Technology, Computer Science, Data Science, Accounting, Business/Commerce, Finance, Economics, among others.
