About

I have over 18 years of tutoring experience and I provide structured teaching lessons to get you through any mathematics course. I am also a full time risk manager in the banking industry, but I am enthusiastic in teaching and do tutoring as a part-time job as well (only available currently on Saturdays). As proven many times in the past, I make a fundamental difference to the learning using my teaching philosophy and I enjoy the reward in seeing the success of my past students. My teaching philosophy differs from vast majority of others I know, not only I show you the context and process of how the mathematical formulas and concepts are derived, I also show you how to apply them into questions ranging from fundamentals to the most complex ones through my carefully designed theory booklet (example can be downloaded in link below). I detest the traditional methods of how mathematics is taught, generally students were just told to memorise and apply the mathematical formulas to a set of repetitive questions. I am providing structured small classes in my home only for a maximum group of 4 students. This allows for focused attention, but also competition and interactive learning, which is the most effective through questions and answers. There are no stupid questions, and I can answer anything you would like to know, inclusive of my industry experience in professional workplace. Experience: *I have taught for 18 years. *I have taught both in class and 1-on-1 environments, but I prefer small groups so I can tailor make the pace and lesson style to each individual's needs. Materials: *Fully typed, structured notes each week. *Typed up quizes for each week. *Typed up revision exercises of HSC style questions for each topic. Rates: A weekly session of 2 hours is the typical session time required for most levels of maths. I teach lesson with set content, and don't charge for going over-time. I offer $80 per hour for 1-on-1 sessions, so $160 for 1 session. Group discounts available if you bring your friends along or if I have additional students that can fit into the class. The class will be held in my house at Northmead, or you can join in by online through Discord. *2 students: $100 each session. *3 students: $70 each session. *4 students: $60 each session.

I highly recommend James as a math tutor. He has a deep understanding of the subject and is always well-prepared, providing structured and organised. He also tailors his teaching style to fit each student's individual needs. Beyond lessons, James has set up a Facebook group where students can ask questions at any time, and he responds promptly. Anyone looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and responsive math tutor will benefit greatly from working with James.

I highly recommend James as a tutor as he is an experienced and patient teacher with the skill to break down fundamental concepts into simple, accessible explanations. His lessons are structured with pre-prepared booklets that outline key mathematical ideas, effectively guiding students through each topic. Also, his weekly quizzes and revision materials sets reinforce understanding and help students their track progress and areas of improvement. James is responsive to homework questions and flexible in tailoring sessions to individual needs, making him the ideal choice for anyone seeking a dedicated and personalised mathematics tutor.

James has been an excellent tutor for my Year 12 Daughter - Advanced Maths. Prompt to respond to messages, detailed and passionate about excellence. My daughter was struggling with Year 12 Advanced Maths. Within a short time after Tutoring with James, she received 95% in her half yearly result. Strongly recommend James as an excellent tutor!
