I focus on teaching course work and theory students are currently learning or about to start in class. I will always teach ahead of class. This will reinforce the students learning so they can maximise the use of class time to its full potential. I will teach all the key concepts from a topic in each session. This will allow the student to revise the topic several times before a test depending on its duration in class. I will provide several resources for worded type questions that aim to mimic exam style questions. This will ensure the student is experiencing problem solving on a regular basis. I will focus on specific content for any upcoming SACs, tests, exams to ensure the student is fully prepared as required. My lessons are tailored to individual needs and build confidence by developing numeracy skills. Mathematical understanding of key concepts and positive test results increase following my tutoring sessions.

Reviews

I have worked with Jamie for the past 3 years and he has been outstanding. From quality, easy-to-understand notes to relevant, carefully curated topic-specific questions, Jamie will provide everything you need to exceed your expectations in Maths Methods. His unique ability to expose his students to all the 'types' of questions before you encounter them on test day was invaluable in gaining a competitive advantage. During lockdowns, Jamie's flexibility to shift to online tutoring was seamless and he always promptly responds to questions with thorough worked solutions. His attention to detail is very reassuring and I strongly recommend Jamie to all students.

Jamie has a wealth of knowledge in mathematics and teaching, he came prepared with worksheets and useful, concise notes to every single lesson. I always felt comfortable sending him questions throughout the week that would be remedied with comprehensive explanations and answers. Jamie is truly dedicated to his students, provides professional service and most importantly is always encouraging and positive!

Jamie is an awesome tutor who is certainly worth your time and money. He is always on time and he provides a wide and in depth range of notes, strategies and practice tasks that are sure to make your life easier throughout your studies. Without Jamie, I’m sure I would not have done methods in Year 12.

Jamie Ross is a very professional tutor - always on time and thoroughly prepared. He provides comprehensive notes and is able to get his students working ahead of the class lessons, which really helps with consolidation. He also makes himself available for pre-exam preparation. I highly recommend Jamie.
