About
Hi! I'm Kurtis, an alumnus of the University of New South Wales (UNSW), holding a double degree with a Bachelors in Actuarial Studies and in Mathematics. Prior to this, my academic journey began at Marist College Kogarah, where I achieved an ATAR of 95.05 in the class of 2016. Leveraging my strong background in mathematics and my career's experience as a data scientist, I am dedicated to helping students excel in their studies of mathematics - and hopefully fall in love with the subject as I have.
For the past 7+years, I have spearheaded my own tutoring business and take pride in the 1-on-1 guidance I have provided numerous students who have gone on to achieve stellar ATAR’s - as high as 99.95!
The pandemic posed unprecedented challenges for students. Recognizing this, I transitioned to online tuition, leveraging video-conferencing and real-time streaming from my iPad. The response? Overwhelmingly positive. The advantage? Students get high-quality education from the comfort and safety of their homes, and enjoy a greater flexibility than could previously be supported.
My own HSC subjects included Extension II (4u) Mathematics, Extension I (3u) Mathematics, Physics, Biology and Standard English. Since then, my university studies exposed me to a greater depth in units of mathematics/statistics, actuarial science, data science, finance, engineering, and business at the university level.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” ~ Nelson Mandela.
This is a statement I strongly resonate with and was a major contributing factor towards the establishment of my own tutoring business.
Further to being an educator, I am a fervent learner, with an immense passion for mathematics and its education. Over the years, I have amassed a trove of resources that can immensely benefit any student.
I eagerly await the opportunity to guide future students, with my knowledge and experience, through the gruelling HSC journey, and helping them realise their potential and attain their goals!
