Hello! I'm Yufan a recent graduate of the 2023 North Sydney Boys cohort which managed to become the top-ranked school in NSW. I am offering tutoring for maths primarily for year 11-12 students undertaking the Mathematics extension 1, 2 or Advanced courses and are seeking to drastically improve their performances in school exams and the final HSC exam. Having over 2 years of experience tutoring and mentoring I am offering both online and in-person classes. Please do not hesitate to reach out and contact me for any inquiries but first let me share a quick story.
In years 9-10 I was below average for maths and truly believed it was hopeless as I was failing exams despite putting in a ton of effort. When year 11 came around, I realised I needed to change what I was doing, instead of only studying for generic textbook questions I began to expose myself to harder more challenging problems and changed the way I approached maths, suddenly going from failing maths in year 10 to ranking 13th in year 11 and making it into 4U as I had wished.
However, that was not the end of the journey. I continued to push myself further and further looking far and wide on the internet, using all my spare time to find questions that intrigued me, way beyond the recommendations of teachers who do nothing but force you to read textbooks and listen to their boring lectures. I instead found my own way of studying maths which not only made my marks skyrocket but also led me to develop a passion for solving these challenging problems that Iโm sure weโve all experienced when we tackled a hard problem.
If you find yourself in a similar situation to my year 9-10 self or are genuinely interested in maths and care about doing well in school and HSC just shoot me a message and hopefully we can figure something out!

Reviews
I have had the privilege of being a student in Yufan's math class, and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional teacher with an unparalleled level of expertise in mathematics. His teaching style, combined with his evident intelligence, creates an optimal learning environment that significantly enhances the overall educational experience.
One of Yufan's greatest strengths is his ability to break down complex mathematical concepts into digestible and easily understandable parts. His clear explanations, coupled with real-life examples, make even the most challenging topics seem approachable.
Beyond his teaching skills, Yufan's deep understanding of mathematics is truly impressive. His passion for the subject is infectious, and it reflects in the enthusiasm with which he delivers each lesson. His extensive knowledge not only helps students comprehend the material but also inspires a genuine interest in the subject matter.
I highly recommend Yufan as a teacher.

Yufan's consistent help during my HSC years was the single largest factor driving my success in Maths. Maths had always been my weakest subject by far, but Yufan's infectious passion for maths & his easily comprehensible explanations were highly motivating and bolstered my personal work ethic, contributing to me netting multiple stateranks in other subjects. His extensive maths resource bank allowed him to provide intriguing practice questions tailored to my ability level, driving my exponential academic growth. Ultimately, Yufan's indispensable help directly impelled my ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ซ๐๐ง๐ค ๐๐ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ก๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐๐๐, ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ ๐๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐จ๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ & ๐๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ก๐ฌ, ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฆ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ง ๐๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐.๐๐.
