About

Hi 😊! I’m Matthew, I graduated in 2021 with a 99.65 ATAR and I’m currently studying a Bachelor/Master of Engineering at UQ. As a passionate graduate of Brisbane State High, I aim to provide the necessary resources and support to streamline junior and senior schooling so that you can maintain a healthy relationship with your studies. Whether you want help on more complex problems, a development of underlying concepts or wanting to learn ahead of the syllabus, I am willing to help. I have prior experience tutoring both juniors and seniors as part of state high’s PAS (Peers for academic success program) as well as the school’s peer supporter program. Each person has their own unique learning style, and I will aim to guide my tutoring method to best suit you . Arriving at state high with a music merit after failing both entrance exams, I found it hard and increasingly difficult to balance extra – curricular activities alongside the building pressure from school. This is why I aim to integrate effective study strategies, so you can continue doing the things you love, because health and studies go hand in hand. Within any of the lessons feel free to ask questions from any of the subjects I tutor (Math Methods, Math Specialist, Chemistry, Physics); My individual results were: • Math Methods (96) • Math Specialist (95) • Chemistry (99) • Physics (97) I will also be free throughout the week so you can email or message me with any problems and I will try to get back to you ASAP. I live in Sunnybank, but I am willing to do home visits, public libraries and online tutoring (wherever there is public transport available 😊.

Reviews

Was my high school math tutor from years 11-12, always came extremely well prepared with scheduled lessons focused to targeting my weaker sections and was very generous with his time and effort, often answering late night queries within minutes. He is also highly approachable which actually made me look forward to our tutoring sessions! Would HIGHLY recommend to all students. 10/10

In addition to cultivating an in-depth understanding of the subjects he imparts in, Matthew employs his expertise by providing concise explanations and diagrams to ensure that his students would also obtain the familiarity of the concept. In instances where his student's comprehension remains elusive, he explores different methods to provide further explanations. Moreover, when Matthew is acquainted with his students during the lesson, he embodies a committed and uncompromising attitude, such as refusing to conclude the lesson until his students feel implemented with topics they previously found difficult. This is in major contrast to the usual fee / time driven mindset excerpted from other tutors, which only highlights his genuine concern to fulfil the educational journey of his students. Matthew's dedication is further displayed by generously supplying extensive folders of practice exam papers for his students to guarantee that they would achieve their desired mark on their school exams. Another factor of his top-notch commitment is observed by his active response to questions online through text or email. From my experience, this was especially useful for last minute questions right before exams and externals. Additionally, although Matthew himself is a uni-student, he exhibits flexibility in his weekly time table to provide versatile time slots (permanent or temporary) to accommodate for his students' convenience. Characterized by his commitment, quality, integrity and effectiveness, this on-going tutor deserves a 1000/10 for his tutoring service. I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew as your potential tutor to not only guide but to walk with you through your junior and senior (crucial) years of schooling.

I have had Matthew as a tutor from halfway through grade 11 and throughout all of grade 12. Matthew has been an amazing and supportive tutor not only helping with my marks but with my confidence too. Matthew has a great personality and sense of humour and was available for questions any time. He has always been super flexible with arranging sessions and providing resources based on what I had done that week or did not understand. He has been super easy to talk to and has encouraged me every step of the way, teaching me new ways to study efficiently and giving me amazing resources I otherwise would have not had access to. I would highly recommend him.

Matthew was incredibly helpful in my preparation for the external exams. On top of his wealth of knowledge was extremely patient and made me feel comfortable and supported. He was able to break down concepts so they were easy to understand and had a large array of resources that helped me ace my exams. I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew as a tutor!

I highly recommend Matthew as a tutor, especially for Chemistry! Matthew is an amazing person with a friendly personality and is willing to put in the time and effort to ensure I understand the content being covered in the lesson. Whenever I get tutored, he comes prepared with practice questions/notes on the topic I want to discuss and lets me bring them home for revision. He is always attentive by checking in and making sure I'm following what he is saying and not lost. Because of this, I was able to reach my aim of a 7 in grade 11 HL Chemistry (IB) and saw a great improvement in my marks.

Not only is Matthew extremely knowledgeable in his tutoring subjects, he is also a very nice guy in general who will take his time help his students with any content that they might find difficult. I’d highly recommend him as a tutor.
