USyd Mathematics Graduate|Mathematics Textbook Contributor|4+ Years Tutoring Experience|Proven Results| Hi there! My name is Chris Cheah, and I graduated in 2020 from selective high school, Girraween High School. I have attained an ATAR of 98+ and attained E4's in both Extension 1 Mathematics and Extension 2 Mathematics. I have just recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science (Advanced) degree in Mathematics and Financial Mathematics/Statistics at The University of Sydney as a Dalyell Scholar. I am currently offering to tutor mathematics at any high school level. (Y7-10, 2U Maths, 3U Maths, 4U Maths). I have more than 4 years of mathematics tutoring experience from both private tutoring and working for tutoring companies such as Alchemy and Sydney Centre of Mathematics. At SCM, I was involved with TA’ing classes, writing questions and solutions via LaTeX, and marking student exams and providing individual/cohort feedback. I tailored the lesson structure towards the student, where I adapt and personalise each lesson according to the needs of the student. I am able to assist with polishing up on the fundamentals, as well as challenging the student via harder exam styled questions. My base rate is currently $75 per hour. I can tutor either online or in-person at my home located around Blacktown. Other public areas may be negotiated. I am also available for group tutoring at a discounted rate per person. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or enquiries :)

Reviews

Chris is a talented and amazing tutor. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and willing to explain topics and work through questions with as much detail as needed until I understood. He is also quick to respond and assist with maths problems outside of lessons (including at the odd hours a year 12 student would stay up cramming). As someone who wasn’t the best at maths, this helped me immensely. He is very approachable and has a good sense of humour. His teaching helped relieve the bucketloads of dread I associated with the subject. I wish I had found him earlier; I wouldn’t have achieved the ATAR (and thus dream UTS Engineering course) I aimed for without him. I highly recommend Chris to any high school student! ( •̀ ω •́ )/

I first started lessons with Chris late into my year 12 when I was averaging 50-60% for Mathematics Advanced. Chris's help allowed me to turn my performance around which led to my final HSC external mark to be 87. This massive jump is credited towards the effort Chris puts into his lessons, which are I found to target my specific weak points with course inclusive content that he identified as this is his area of expertise. I highly recommend Chris as a mathematics tutor as his knowledge surrounding the HSC is extensive and his lessons are thorough. Overall the experience in Chris's classes were welcoming and enjoyable, my only regret is not discovering Chris's lessons earlier.

Chris is a great tutor who understands how to help his students in learning difficult concepts and ideas. He takes the time to explain things in a way that makes sense. I started out failing all my math classes, but Chris helped me immensely and I improved my grades so much. Would definitely recommend!

Chris was an absolutely exceptional tutor for me throughout both my senior years in year 11 and 12 for advanced and extension 1 mathematics, allowing me to excel in both subjects in my HSC wherein I ultimately scored 98/100 in advanced and 46/50 in extension 1. Specifically, his atmosphere and way of teaching allowed me to develop more of an interest in maths and develop logical thinking skills rather than sticking to the same rinse and repeat formulas (which got me 98 in advanced as it was a very logic-based exam), becoming an integral part of my HSC success. At this point it's unfathomable to think that I was getting 60% consistently in year 9 and below yet through both perseverance and Chris' support, it's now clear that I have developed a lot in not only my mathematical thinking but my appreciation for the subject itself.

I had Chris as my maths tutor for maths extension. Chris guided me with overcoming barriers and weaknesses in the topics I had difficulties with and helped me further improve my skills in overcoming those challenging math questions. Whenever I had questions I couldn’t do or understand, I would often ask for help from Chris during our tutoring lessons. While it takes me hours to answer some tackling math questions, Chris’ explanation and method of solution for each difficult question helped me comprehend the solutions clearly in a short amount of time. Furthermore, when it comes to resources, e.g. textbook exercises, past papers and more for each maths topic, Chris always had additional resources for me to revise on. Therefore, if you are looking for a maths tutor whether you are in your senior years or not, Chris is an amazing maths tutor who will guide you in acing your maths subject. I had Chris as my maths tutor for maths extension.

Chris has been a great help for me in fine tuning my self-published Extension 2 textbook. He helped find errors and typos in the text, and emailing back and forth was always a pleasure because of his friendliness, great communication skills and passion for mathematics.
