Tutoring near Ngunnawal, Canberra, ACT


About

Hi! I am a fully registered graduate college teacher currently working full time at John Paul College. Unfortunately due to potential conflict of interest I cannot tutor any students from JPC. Coming back to doing a bit of extra tutoring now that I have more free time. I have also been through the ACT BSSS system as a student, achieving an ATAR score of 97.1 through completing a double major in specialist maths at Daramalan College - although I do strongly believe an ability to properly explain concepts and break them down into simple steps outweighs a pure score! My first university degree was a mathematics major at ANU, with my second completed degree being a Master of Secondary teaching (UC). While studying at university, I have had experience tutoring many different students across different years up to specialist mathematics and have really enjoyed the experience. I have been able to help bring up these students grades and help them develop better study habits (which hopefully you can see from the reviews below!). I am confident in my abilities to not only have excellent knowledge in Mathematics, but how to actually teach it in a simple step-by-step way. My rates are: $60/hr ($110 for 2 hrs with 5 min break) for Secondary mathematics. Year 7 - Year 12 Specialist. $70/hr for following ANU Mathematics courses: MATH1003 - Algebra & Calculus Methods MATH1005 - Discrete Mathematical Models MATH1013 - Mathematics & Applications 1 MATH1014 - Mathematics & Applications 2 MATH1115 - Advanced Mathematics & Applications 1 MATH1116 - Advanced Mathematics & Applications 2 MATH2305 - Applied Mathematics 1 MATH2306 - Applied Mathematics II MATH2301 - Games, Graphs & Machines Math2307 - Bioinformatics and Biological Modelling MATH3301 - Number Theory & Cryptography Math3501 - Scientific and Industrial Modelling My available times are generally flexible depending on how many students I have, please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any enquiries. Thanks!

My man Sean is an amazing tutor. He tutored me for Grade 12 Methods. Extremely helpful at explaining math concepts and breaking it down making it easy to understand. Saviour of my grades and all round great lad, I thoroughly recommend him.

Sean tutored me for this semester for year 11 methods. You can tell that he loves what he is doing and really understands the concepts behind many theorems, especially with algebra and pure maths. He has been very good in improving my habits for exams and points out a lot of useful tricks and tips. I highly recommend him, and will continue with him till hopefully the end of year 12! Summer

Sean is currently my tutor and I’m in year 11. He has good explanations and tips for all different units explored in maths. Super helpful and easy to work with, explains topics well and makes sure you really are able to understand the concepts for exams. Amy

Sean was my tutor in year 8 and 9 and helped me achieve high grades and a good study habit which is still currently helping me throughout highschool and I am sure it will follow through to college. 10/10, great at explaining concepts and theorems.
