Hi, I'm Sienna and I specialise in Maths, Physics and Chemistry tutoring My credentials: Physics: 95 Chemistry: 95 Maths Methods Extension 1: 98 Maths advanced: 100 About me: Ever since I graduated high school, tutoring maths has become more than just a sidehustle for me - it's something I genuinely love doing. I’ve always believed that maths doesn’t have to be scary or boring; it’s just about how it’s taught. That’s why I focus on making every lesson feel clear, engaging, and actually useful. Instead of just drilling formulas, I help students understand where concepts come from and how to apply them in real life or in exams. I teach the way I wish I was taught - breaking things down into simple steps, explaining the “why” behind each method, and using real-world examples to make things click. What sets me apart from other tutors is that I’m closer in age to my students - I get what they’re going through. I know the pressure of exams, the distractions, and the feeling of being stuck. So I bring energy, empathy, and real strategies that work. My students say I make maths feel doable, even fun, and their results prove it. I don’t just teach content - I build confidence. I want every student to walk away not only with better marks, but also with the belief that they can do maths. And that’s why I teach. 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 Amongst the state rankers in science I’m working with, excellent results have been achieved: - Tony Chen, 2024, moved from 79% to 94% in Maths Generalist - Jason Phan, in 2023, got 99.95 and 1st in Maths Generalist. - 𝗔𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗡𝗮𝗷𝗶, 2022, was Maths State Rank, 99 in Maths Specialist. - 𝗞𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝘂, 2021, moved from a 56% in Maths Specialist to 91% in VCE. - Josh Wang, 2021, moved from 64% in Year 11 Maths Generalist to 50/50 Scaled mark in VCE. 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗺𝗶 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗵𝗲, 2021, got 49/50 in Maths Specialist with 99.75 ATAR. 🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜'𝗹𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽 🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃🌿🍃 ▒▒▒▒ 𝗠𝘆 𝟯 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝐴𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒: adopting a ‘growth’ mindset; falling in love with the process of wrestling with a new concept; going from 0 knowledge on a topic to completely mastering it. I treated maths like a video game. When I sat down for a session, I was aiming to just level up that little bit more than yesterday; to gain a few more equations for my toolbox, and applying them to increasingly exotic questions. 𝐴𝑝𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛: maths is beautiful to me. It's a language that describes the world around us in all its complexity. Studying maths was so pleasant because I could see its direct usefulness to society. I set out to try see the utility from my other subjects, making studying them fun too! 𝑆𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑠: learning maths was formulaic to me. You followed reliable processes to brew a mumbling-jumbling mess of a question into a neat and ordered final solution. I knew I could create a ‘formula’ – a predictable recipe for my other subjects, to make them easier to tackle. ▒▒▒▒ 𝟭-𝟭 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼. In class, we go through the content to get you ahead. But you can ask me questions any time! Even between classes! ▒▒▒▒ 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. Doing practice questions is the fastest way to improve. But they need to be hard. We've scoured through thousands of exams to distill the hardest questions as homework. This made Tony Chen, more confident and accurate in exams, which brought him up from 79% to 94% in Maths Extension 1. "Let’s Connect!"
