Me: Raw 49 Methods ✅ 99.8 ATAR ✅ FREE Trial Lesson✅
Hi, I'm Gary and I achieved a raw 49 for Methods in 2020, scored over 95% in every SAC, was ranked 1st and have since garnered over 600 hours of tutoring experience, ranging from year 8 to VCE 3/4 + US math Olympiad. I graduated from Haileybury college with an ATAR of 99.8, 3220 (98th percentile) UCAT score and am currently a 3rd year medical student.
Currently full for 2024 - tutoring 11 students, 13 hours per week. 4 hours will free up in 2025, inquire only for 2025 methods tutoring.

The course covers strategies on:
✅How to reduce silly mistakes and prevent similar mistakes from recurring.
🧠How to mentally categorise questions in reading time, how to check questions
📱How to exactly use the calculator efficiently
📚Hundreds of practice exams + Revision document of just ‘separator’ questions.
✅Trial exams that I will mark – feedback on formatting of working out, timing, readability.
💭My Philosophy
I design my lessons to not just be maths and numbers, but a human experience that prepares you for future endeavours. Year 12 is an incredibly hectic and challenging year, I discuss how to construct a resilient and sustainable mindset to combat the unending stress, anxiety and burnout that is commonplace. I share how to build discipline and self-control to overcome the inevitable lack of motivation you’re bound to feel and create routine. I try to be more than just a tutor but rather a friend and mentor; you can forget how to integrate and all the technical knowledge I teach you after year 12, but I try to impart skills that will aid you in whatever journey you embark on.
