Jennifer H. Very responsive
Tutoring near Chippendale, Sydney, NSW


About

Hi, my name is Jennifer. I currently hold Teaching Mathematics Proficient Accreditation from NSW Standards Authority (NESA), graduated from Master of Teaching Secondary (Extension Mathematics) with Marion Macaulay Bequest Scholarship and Master of Philosophy Science (Mathematics) with Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship at the University of Sydney and completed the Bachelor of Science (Mathematics and Biology) at the Australian National University. I am currently doing PhD with an RTP tuition fee offset and a stipend scholarship at the University of Sydney while working as a Mathematics teacher. I have taught full-time, part-time and casual at North Sydney Boys High School, Sydney Boys High School, Sydney Girls High School, Cranbrook School and Australian Performing Arts Grammar School. I have twelve years of tutoring experience in Mathematics from K-12 and first-year university Mathematics. My students are from North Sydney Girls High School, International Grammar School, MLC School, Sydney Grammar School, St George Girls High School, Pymble Ladies’ College, St Mary’s Cathedral, SCEGGS Darlinghurst and Presbyterian Ladies’ College. I also hold the Working With Children Check number WWC1442626E, the First Aid Certificate CPR HLTAID004, the E-emergency and Anaphylaxis certificate, and Child Protection Training. My greatest passion is solving mathematical conundrums, and I truly enjoy supporting and fostering students' conceptual comprehension of various mathematical concepts and exam revisions for HSC. My mathematical teacher model is local Australian hero Eddie Woo. I am more than happy to explain and clarify mathematical topics in-depth and support students in developing a profound comprehension of abstract, conceptual and practical concepts. I also review the common misconceptions in the assessments and provide detailed explanations and advice on improving these errors. My teaching belief is that learning is not solely about achieving high scores but enriching learners' critical thinking, reasoning and problem-solving skills and encouraging them to become confident and successful Mathematical users in the future. Comprehending Mathematical theories, building foundation knowledge and solving problems can be challenging and confusing at the same time. Hence, my aims are to provide you with various opportunities to extend Mathematical higher-order thinking and facilitate you during the learning journey. I am flexible with the time and locations, so please contact me to discuss the schedule further. My fee is $100-150 per hour, depending on the location and level of Mathematics.

Reviews

I was quite dubious about private coaching but my daughter (12) completely transformed after one lesson with Jenny. This women understands that education is t filling a bucket, it’s lighting a fire. I just wish I had done it earlier. Early days but so far covert, very good!
