βœ… 26000+ hrs | 800+ students | 14+ yrs 🎁 FREE First 20min + my eBook "The A+ Maths Blueprint to Secure Top Marks" βœ… 45+ ATARs in the top 1% of Australia (99+) βœ… Yearly medicine admissions to top-ranked programs βœ… 150+ Grade Turnarounds (C/D to A performance) βœ… 180+ Accelerations (2+ years ahead of school curriculum within one term) βœ… Virtually 100% first-choice university admissions (QCE & IB students) βœ… Top ATAR & IB results outperform most top Australian schools year after year βœ… 80%+ of Year 12 final-exam topics predicted accurately βœ… Straight A/A+ in Maths from primary school to postgraduate studies πŸ”· Deep, extensive expertise across all QCE, IB and university mathematics subjects. πŸ”· Proven track record and lifelong dedication to excellence in Mathematics Education. πŸ”· Proven experience mentoring students from Gold Coast’s leading schools, including, among others: β€’ The Southport School β€’ St Hilda's School β€’ Hillcrest Christian College β€’ Benowa State High School β€’ King's Christian College ⭐ Beyond Maths, it is about helping students see how brilliant, accomplished and self-confident they can be! ⭐ With great passion for Mathematics and Education, and coming from a family of Engineers and Teachers, I combine the best of both worlds to provide the best explanations, strategies and overall educational support. My primary goal is rapid progress and sustainable grade growthβ€”grade improvements of 20–30% within 2 to 4 weeks are common among new students. *Each of my students' results is MY OWN TOP PRIORITY*. 14+ years of experience with 800+ students allow me to fine-tune lesson delivery to different attitudes and learning styles, and not only explain topics in a fully comprehensible, tried-and-tested step-by-step way, but make sure discipline, focus, confidence and work ethic improve as well. My holistic mentoring approach addresses all facets of academic performanceβ€”study materials, motivation, and exam habits. Continuous, constructive feedback is provided lesson-by-lesson so students build genuine self-confidence and excel not only in QCE / IB / Uni Mathematics, but across their other subjects as well. Furthermore, I do understand the economic and time investment involved, and offer a completely personalised study plan tailored to the student's goals. Regular 2-hour weekly sessions routinely lead to A-band results. Having lived, studied and worked across five continents (North and South America, Europe, Oceania and Asia) - including work experience in telecom, mining and construction companies and postgraduate studies in the UK and USA - I deliver a more well-rounded, elite academic educational experience. πŸ₯‡ SUCCESS UPDATE (Jan-Dec 2025): βœ… 100% (12/12) Year 12 students admitted to their top-choice university. βœ… 15 perfect (100%) marks, 32 A+s and 36 As across 20 students. βœ… 22 major grade improvements (20%+) within one to two terms. βœ… 2 academic scholarships to UNSW and UWA. βœ… 1560 SAT and admission to Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University (#1 worldwide across multiple technology disciplines). βœ… Year 5 student successfully accelerated to Year 11 Maths Methods. βœ… Other successes include tutoring the youngest university Mathematics student in Queensland, multiple scholarship recipients, alongside multiple national/international award winners. πŸ”· Special mention to my highest achieving year 12 students: βœ… D.

Reviews

I just wanted to take a moment to express how awesome Andrew has been as a calculus tutor. He has made the learning experience both enjoyable and incredibly effective. His explanations are clear, and he takes the time to ensure I understand the concepts thoroughly before moving on. I truly appreciate his patience, approachability, and dedication to helping me succeed. It’s been a great learning experience, and I feel much more confident in my calculus skills thanks to Andrew’s support!

Andrew has been my tutor from year 8 to 12. I had many deficiencies and was set to do just HSC standard 2. I have moderate ADHD but I also want to study engineering, and was very frustrated I couldn't improve with my previous tutors. Fortunately, Andrew was very understanding, he is a master in explaining all topics, and his procedures are many times quicker and easier than the books. With his guidance and encouragement I started improving and was allowed to do advanced maths after a few months, and extension 1 in year 10. My confidence grew so much and I kept working very hard, this year I am finally doing extension 2, the hardest maths subject in Australia. Now admission to UNSW engineering, one of the best departments in Australia, is possible. For someone with moderate ADHD, struggling for so long and almost giving up, this is amazing. My family are all very happy with these outcomes. We are truly grateful for his expertise, patience and encouragement. Thank you so much Andrew.
Logan Harris on 21st July 2025
We have only praise for Andrew as both our sons have improved so much. He has been their tutor for over 8 years so we know him well and have recommended him to our friends several times over the years. Andrew immediately created very good rapport with both boys and established a very positive study environment where my children were constantly -while still gently- encouraged to reach their full potential. He commands great authority within his field but is also very unassuming, respectful and polite, so children are not afraid of him, all on the contrary they respect and trust him. Getting Andrew in charge of my son's education was an excellent decision.

My name is Chris, I was fortunate to engage with Andrew Chavez in my quest to attend University as a mature student. Initially I was trying to assess my capacity to undertake a STEM degree with a year 11 education. Andrew evaluated my commitment and potential to learn, as well as the needs for the degrees in which I was interested. A plan was developed which involved me working my way through year 10, 11 and 12 content over a 7-month period. With Andrew’s guidance I progressed quickly and secured a place earlier than expected, just in time for semester 1 in 2024. The foundation and development of a capacity to learn were invaluable – I have successfully achieved HDs in all term 1 subjects, and I look forward to enjoying the rest of my studies. Andrew’s support, advice, encouragement and detailed knowledge of school and higher education curricula were decisive in my very fast academic progress and success, well beyond initial expectations, and I highly recommend him as a maths education specialist.
Chris F. on 11th August 2024
Mr Andrew is a fantastic tutor. He guided me to improve in year 12 Methods more than 30%, this helped me reach the 92 ATAR band and secure admission to the Bachelor of Human Sciences at UWA. In 2022 I had just moved to Australia and was finding a lot of the content not easy and my results were very worrying as I needed a high ATAR, fortunately Mr Andrew was very patient and explained everything clearly. He also followed up from time to time and was available every time I needed extra support during the rest of the week. Mr Andrew made my transition to Australia and to university studies much easier. It's be great having you as teacher, Mr Andrew, thank you!

Hi Andrew, Thank you for all your assistance, perseverance, time and dedication to Lex. He thoroughly enjoyed his lessons and was very happy with all your tuition and advice. His Overall Methods mark was an A and he would not have been able to achieve this without your help. He moved up a grade from B/A to a straight A, and achieved an A in his ATAR. As a result, he managed to secure his admission to Actuarial Sciences, a highly mathematical degree, thank you so much for setting him up for success. I would highly recommend you to anyone who wants to boost their grade as well as the very valued advice you have given him along the way. Thank you for the support with not just his application to study Actuarial Sciences but for the Scholarship application as well, also successful. My second son is taking Maths Methods too and I will definitely ask you to assist and support his studies through this subject. Thank you again for all your efforts. Much appreciated.
