Tutoring near Narre Warren South, Melbourne, VIC

For over a decade I've been using question-asking (the "Socratic method") to teach mathematics more effectively than would otherwise be possible using more conventional teaching methodologies. My teaching philosophy is simple: 1. Develop clear and comprehensive techniques for solving the relevant mathematical problems. 2. Use Socratic dialogue to help students reinvent and rediscover these techniques for themselves. 3. Use pictures to support the development of intuition and real understanding. 4. Test students repeatedly to find and address ‘gaps’ in their knowledge. Past students have included four year-olds, PhD students, and many, many Year 12 students. Some have been neurotypical, while others have had ADHD, dyslexia or autism. And while some have been gifted, most came to me either because they were struggling with gaps in their knowledge, or due to an absence of motivation. In all cases, students have responded positively to the Socratic method. Rates: $60/hour for Year 1 through to Year 10 $70/hour for Year 11 and 12 students Please enquire about rates in connection with university and other tertiary-level subjects

Reviews

I couldn't rate Yianni highly enough. He is incredibly knowledgeable and I've found him to be greatly adaptable to suit my learning needs. He's obviously passionate about his work and it shows in his lessons. A brilliant teacher and I'm sure any student regardless of age or maths level would find his teaching exceedingly valuable!

I have known Yianni for many years, ever since we studied maths together at university. He is a creative thinker with a unique perspective and a solid understanding of his subject. I believe he would be an excellent tutor for any student lucky enough to learn from him.
