One thing that I am confident sets me apart from other tutors and even coaching schools is that I tailor my tutorials for the individual student. I keep close communication with families to monitor progress. What do I teach? My expertise in teaching is in Mathematics in secondary and university level. However, I also have students who I teach not just Maths, but also English, Science, History and Geography in primary and secondary level, and Biology in secondary level. I have tutored, lectured and marked university students in both undergraduate and postgraduate level in General Maths, Maths for Life Sciences, Health Economics, Statistics, Operations Research, and many other courses. I can assist with tertiary coursework and reviewing for assessments in any Maths course, in some Science courses such as Immunology, Genetics, General Biology and Public Health courses. If you also require any assistance in thesis writing, essay writing, or even just setting up referencing (bibliographies) for your writing, I can also help. When and where do I teach? I am available on weekdays from 1pm-9pm and weekends 8am-9pm. I prefer to teach students online or at my home office, as I have a vast collection of resources available at arms reach to the students' advantage. In extraordinary circumstances (e.g. multiple students, longer hours of tutoring required) am able to consider coming to your home. I may be able to meet in agreed locations (e.g. public libraries and schools) where facilities are suitable. How do I teach? It is important to help the student build their confidence in their learnings especially as an independent individual, so that they can face other struggles they encounter over and beyond the classroom and private tuition they receive. I work hard with the student to help them identify their weaknesses, so they can understand where they should improve. I believe in hard work to achieve results, so I encourage my students to work on as many different problem sets or other types of tasks in order to gain mastery of a topic. I provide a lot of material from various sources and also additional tasks aligned with the NSW curriculum or university course outline. Why do I teach? I enjoy helping students in their journey to achieve their scholastic goals and/or overcome their difficulties in understanding concepts. It is a pleasure to see them also acquire improved marks in their class after helping them go through their struggles in learning. Seeing how pressure and stress is relieved within families when kids are able to get ahead with their studies is also an achievement for me. My Qualifications: I am an experienced Maths tutor with a background in Mathematics in both academia and industry with 20+ years experience doing teaching and research in Mathematics. I hold a Masters and PhD and have taught kids in primary, secondary and university level Maths. I have extensive experience as a mathematical biologist, hence I am able to assist in learning biology and other general science concepts. I have a Working With Children check, tutor accreditation from the Australian Tutoring Association and other training certifications. My current rates (2020) are between $45-$120 per hour depending on the year level, timing and amount of support needed.
