Dennis has been a very helpful aid throughout the year. His commitment to making sure I know and understand the content has been very beneficial for me. He has gone out of his way to give relevant advice, while also asking how I went, not just with methods but with my other exams, which has helped improve my confidence with my performance.

Dennis is an excellent tutor who helped me with methods 3/4. He is great at going through content as well as making lessons interactive and enjoyable. Dennis starts sac and exam prep early, ensuring youโ€™re as prepared as possible. He shows heโ€™s invested in helping us achieve our goals with his organised weekly booklets and prompt responses to questions out of class time. Really recommend!

Thanks for everything, there's no one I would have rather had as a tutor. I've been in and out of external classes since I was about 11 and you've been one of my best experiences.

Thanks heaps for all your help Dennis, I can't tell you how many breakdowns it's saved me in the lead up to exams haha. Your tutoring is always effective and efficient yet also very thorough. I found the layout of your tutoring particularly effective as your working out was very neat and easy to follow. It was also very helpful to be able to view your CAS screen as I picked up lots of new shortcuts which saved me heaps of time. From one on one tutoring to revision lectures and notes I feel your tutoring gave me a really well rounded appraoch and prepared me well for the exam. Thanks also for your constant encouragement and support, especially during stressful exam period, it truly means a lot!

Dennis is an incredibly efficient and compassionate maths tutor who has guided my development in several key areas of maths and has helped me strive to do my best. He is supportive and caring by adapting his teaching style to suit me and has ensured that I was well prepared and confident for my tests and has made me more confident in my maths abilities!!

Before starting tuition with Dennis I found myself often at times confused at school and hesitant to ask my teacher for help. After starting tuition with Dennis, my parents and I have seen noticeable improvements to my recent test scores and I feel a lot more confident in areas of maths I used to be unsure of. In each lesson a large amount of content is covered and taught, while at the same time it is easy to understand and Dennis encourages questions at any time if unsure. It is also really helpful to know that I can ask Dennis any questions about maths throughout the week through text or email and a fast reply is always ensured. Dennis is efficient, well-prepared and his lessons are affordable, helpful and tailored to my needs.

Dennis is an extremely efficient and helpful tutor and always makes sure you understand a certain concept and if you don't, he goes over it again slowly. He is very experienced with maths and is always very organised and on time.
