Brendan Kang Here! I graduated as the JMSS Proxime Accessit Dux with an ATAR of ๐ต๐ต.๐ณ๐ฌ. With raw study scores of ๐ฑ๐ฌ, ๐ฐ๐ฒ and ๐ฐ๐ณ in VCE Maths Methods, Specialist Maths and Physics respectively, I am confident in the content I teach, how it is assessed and in optimising my students' approach to questions and VCE. I am now studying a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Master's Accelerated Program at Monash University.
I have succeeded in multiple National/International Maths and Physics competitions:
๐
Member of the medalling Australian team in the 38th International Young Physicists' Tournament
๐
3x consecutive AMC High Distinctions
๐
Physics Olympiad High Distinction.
And more below.
As a recent graduate with ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ฌ+ ๐ต๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ of tutoring experience, I know where students struggle in the current study design.
I offer small-group (up to 8 students) classes for VCE Mathematical Methods (Units 3/4), Specialist Mathematics (Units 1/2 & 3/4) and Physics (Units 3/4)
- Location: Hughesdale (3166) venue in-person (5 min walking distance from Hughesdale Train Station) alongside online classes.
My small group structure allows for tailored teaching and individualised lessons where I will complement your unit plan and ensure you or your child gets the support needed for success.

1. The idea that a strong conceptual foundation is far stronger than memorisation. I don't just teach the numerous complex formulas, but rather, I teach the underlying principles behind each one. The 'Why' is easily more important than just the 'What'. It is crucial to overcome the pressure of the VCE exams, where a student's worst fear: a mind blank, comes to fruition.
2. Most people are visual learners. I create high-quality diagrams & coded animations with math-based software that leads to the easiest intuition of topics and understanding.
3. There is a strong correlation between the number of practice exams you complete and your final exam score. That's why I prioritise helping my students start practice exams ASAP, starting midway through the year.
4. Building habits including error analysis, practice questions and even self-improvement habits that last beyond the VCE. Like a conceptual foundation, the more you consolidate your habits, the easier it will be to achieve success.

Very high quality teacher, thorough understanding of the content! Brendan will work at your pace and give very in-depth explanations so that you truly understand the questions and are ready to tackle other questions of the same sort. Resources are authentic (made himself)

Brendan is truly a great tutor! It is clear he knows what he is doing and has a great curiosity for learning.
As a tutor, he has helped me understand complex topics and how to take on a variety of questions that build up my knowledgeโin learning and especially for the final exams.
He is very patient, concise, and engaging during his teaching- often making sure I understand.
Initially, I struggled with trusting my own ability to do well. However, I have felt that my confidence and enjoyment of Unit 3&4 Specialist Maths has increased significantly under Brendanโs guidance.
Further, his own passion and dedication has influenced me to understand how learning is with gradual growth, that rewards hard effort and persistence with success!

Brendan's mathematical knowledge is exceptional and without doubt he will be an excellent tutor. He is responsible, always on time and ready to help. Brendan uses different methods and strategies to explain the mathematical content depending on student knowledge and understanding. His approach is also with care and genuine which was valued by the students.

I was Brendan's mentor teacher for the 3 years he was at JMSS. Brendan was an excellent student and has acheived fantastic VCE results. Brendan has excellent content knowledge and during the time he was at JMSS, he was constantly helping other students with their maths and they found his explanations really easy to understand and it helped them understand the content and also improved their confidence.
