Hi! I'm Rikesh, a 2025 James Ruse graduate. I won't claim I had some secret system or revolutionary method, What I had was a clear understanding of exactly what each subject required, and the discipline to execute it consistently. That's what I'll help you build too.
From years 7-10 I hardly cared about my marks and was close to failing maths, and I am being completely honest when I say I achieved less than 50% on my year 10 math final. However once I found the right tutor, and the right way of thinking, I was able to turn it all around and reach exceptional marks in year 12.
Most importantly, I realised that getting good marks does not have to mean sacrificing your free time and lifestyle.
As someone who went through that journey of improvement, I believe I can help others do the same. I understand that people learn in different ways, and am willing to find an approach that works for you.
I believe the biggest gains come from understanding why an answer is correct, not just memorising what it looks like. Whether you're struggling to keep up or already performing well and want to push higher, that's the approach I will take in teaching you.

โ
Mathematics โ Yr 7 through to Extension 2

English โ Yr 7 through to Advanced
