About
Hello! I am Jean-Paul and I am a Law and Pure Mathematics graduate from the Australian National University. I also hold an honours degree in both disciplines, having obtained them in 2023 and 2024 respectively.
I have more than five years of experience tutoring students ranging from grade seven to second year university. I like to understand how people think and teach them the content in a style suited to each individual; my aim is to make people understand maths rather than to do maths.
A highlight of my time as a tutor was when I tutored seven students during one of my senior years at university. Despite heavy coursework, I strived to meet with students on a weekly basis to teach them new content or to help them with assignments. As I progressed further in university, I continued to maintain an excellent track record of education, which resulted in all my students improving their mathematical skills.
I am passionate about mathematics. The reason for this passion is that maths is fun and challenging at the same time, which I cannot say is true about other subjects. Maths grants me satisfaction when I solve problems and connects me with other people who love maths.
My interest in law manifested in grade 7, at the time when I am growing up and starting to understand that the country and the world operated in a legal system. My interest expanded as I participated in debating competitions and took Legal Studies in grade 12. Studying law offers me the opportunity to develop a range of legal skills, provide legal and practical advice to clients and explore many aspects of human society. Contrary to what many people say to me, I believe that law and mathematics can work together in tandem to enhance logical thinking to a whole new level, even if those two subjects may seem like an odd combination.
I have started to professionalize my services such as introducing my own notes and practice questions and solutions, which I believe will assist in interested students to further enhance their knowledge. If you would like to add on this component, please let me know as well.

Reviews
Jean-Paul was very helpful and supportive throughout the year and explained difficult concepts in a clear and simple way, and always make sure I understood before moving on. He is an effective teacher. I’m very grateful for his guidance and highly recommend him to any student who wants to do well.

When I first signed up to Jean's class I despised doing math and therefore I was falling behind. However, the way Jean teaches math changed my outlook on the entire subject. Instead of just spitting formulas at you as most teachers do, Jean phrases each question not as a problem but as a puzzle to be solved. To this end, he is excellent at linking math concepts that would have otherwise seemed unrelated which leads to a more holistic understanding of the subject. Jean, of course, is not infallible in his knowledge but when he doesn't know the answer to a question or is unfamiliar with a topic he dives head first into learning the concept for himself so then he can pass on the knowledge to you.
It has been a pleasure being taught by Jean over the one and a half years that I was and I cannot recommend him enough.
