Amin G.

Hi, I’m Amin, an Actuarial Studies and Commerce student at UNSW based in Pennant Hills. I tutor Year 7 to 12 Maths, including HSC Advanced and Extension 1 and Extension 2, online over Zoom, and in person around the Hornsby area. In the HSC I took Mathematics Extension 1, Mathematics Extension 2, Physics, Chemistry and English Advanced. My best results were Extension 1 (94), Extension 2 (90) and Physics (90), and I finished with an ATAR of 96.85. What I want parents and students to know is this: I haven’t always been the student who found everything easy. I’ve been the one sitting in class nodding along, then going home and realising I didn’t actually get it. I know how quickly being a few weeks behind turns into feeling like you’re “just bad at maths”, and I know that usually isn’t true. Most of the time a student is missing one or two building blocks, and once those are fixed, everything after them starts to click. My lessons are built around that. In the first session I find out exactly where you’re at, not where the textbook says you should be. From there we fill the gaps, then work through the kinds of questions your tests and exams will actually ask, until you can do them on your own without me. Outside of study I train in the gym, and it’s shaped how I teach more than anything. Strength isn’t built in one heroic session. It’s built by showing up, doing a little more than last time and tracking your progress. Maths is the same. I’ll give you a clear plan, and we’ll watch your marks go up step by step, so you can see your own improvement instead of just hoping for it. I’m also teaching myself violin, so I know what it feels like to start from zero and be bad at something for a while. I’ll never make you feel silly for asking a question, even the same one twice. What you can expect from me: Patient, clear explanations, with as many different angles as it takes Lessons tailored to your school’s topics and upcoming assessments Exam technique and practice under real conditions Honest feedback to parents on how things are going Flexible after-school and weekend times If you’re behind and stressed, or doing fine but want to push for a top mark, send me a message and tell me a bit about where you’re at. I’d love to help.
