About

Hi! I'm Matthew - an experienced Accounting and Maths Methods tutor with a proven track record of results, and soon-to-be high school teacher! In 2023 I'll be offering the following subjects, including during the headstart period: - VCE Accounting 3/4: One-to-one lessons, small group tutorials (2-5 students) - VCE Maths Methods 3/4: One-to-one lessons, small group tutorials (2-5 students) - VCE Maths Methods 1/2 - Small group tutorials (2-5 students) /// Experience: - Completed VCE in 2017: 99.35 ATAR - Bachelor of Commerce (Monash University): Scholarship Recipient, Major in Accounting, Minor in Mathematics, - Master of Teaching (Secondary) (University of Melbourne): Teaching areas - Maths, Accounting - 6+ years of diverse teaching/tutoring experience, including VCE Mathematics teaching/tutoring at a private school. - Subject coordinator (Accounting) for a VCE summer course, including mentoring other commerce/maths tutors. - Have written SACs used in various schools. /// Recent student results: - 2021: Median student score of 40 (Accounting) - 2022: Many students in top quartile of their cohort, including Rank 1 at a select-entry school. Learning should be much more than memorising a set of procedures - my evidence-based teaching focuses on understanding the underlying concepts of the subjects, and providing you with the tools to apply that knowledge to unfamiliar scenarios. In other words, we focus on *why* something works the way it does, which is often not explored in the school classroom. Many students have commented on my ability to break down the toughest concepts in the simplest ways, and this understanding has led several previous students to achieve VCE study scores of 40+. Learning should also be more than just lectures - you can expect our lessons to be engaging and contain a wide range of valuable learning activities. I can personally relate to classroom learning and provide actionable ideas to develop your study habits, especially during crucial times throughout the year where focus is easily lost. Personally written resources will be available, ensuring exam-standard practice throughout the year. These have been carefully crafted to set you up for success, inspired by various textbooks, study guides, and 10+ years of assessments from Victorian, interstate, and international curricula. I keep a close eye on VCAA updates and reports, and we cover common traps the assessors use in the exams, so you gain a competitive edge in yours. Some of my resources have even been used as school SACs! Additionally, I am more than happy to provide support outside of tutoring hours when available. As a future teaching professional, you can be sure I'm fully committed to seeing you reach your goals, no matter what study score you're after. Please don't hesitate to contact me for any queries. I'm super excited to be a part of your learning journey :) Places are limited on a first come first serve basis - contact now to secure a place for 2023!
