Two students can make the same mistake for completely different reasons, one needs a new explanation, another needs to visualise the problem, another just needs harder questions. I adapt to the student, not the other way around. Tutoring should add value, not just add hours. My style is focused, structured and direct where students leave every session knowing what they learned, what they can now do independently, and what's next, in the least amount of time. Over my 10 year tenure my experience spans across secondary Mathematics and Science education, I have taught across Cambridge/IGCSE curricula, delivered SAT instruction and exam proctoring, and prepared students for the VCE GAT numeracy component (aligned to Victorian Literacy and Numeracy Standards and the Australian Core Skills Framework, Level 3). Till recently I was lead math teacher for the Mathematics Department, specializing in Calculus and Statistics for grade 12 and Pre-Calculas Grade 11. I am also apart of the Science Department, covering different modules of Science across grade 7-10. My teaching spans the Australian/Victorian curriculum from Years 5–12 across Number & Algebra, Measurement & Geometry, and Statistics & Probability, through to VCE Mathematics pathways (General, Methods, Specialist, Foundation) and Years 9–10 Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics). I have also created standards-aligned exam content for a college-level AI course (ITAI 1201), benchmarked against ACM/IEEE CS2023. My approach centres on diagnostic assessment before instruction, using strategies including Differentiated Instruction, Explicit Instruction, Universal Design for Learning, Metacognitive Strategies, Inquiry- and Problem-Based Learning, and Kagan Cooperative Learning structures to meet each student where they are. For senior students, I build VCE and ATAR preparation around three pillars which is content mastery, application, and exam performance using targeted practice, past exam material, timed conditions and detailed error analysis, while helping ATAR-focused students align their subject choices and study strategy to their university pathway.
