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. The objective with all my students is to help them progress rapidly and improve their results consistently; increases of 20-30% within 2 weeks of starting lessons are not uncommon among them. *Each of my students' outcomes is MY OWN TOP PRIORITY*. With over 12 years of experience and over 600 1-on-1 past students, I am very confident with different attitudes and learning styles, and not only explain the topics in a fully comprehensible, tried-and-tested step-by-step way, but make sure discipline, focus, self-assurance and work ethic improve as well. *ACHIEVING EXCELLENCE IS WITHIN THE REACH OF EVERY STUDENT* My approach goes well beyond tutoring, I coach and mentor my students paying close attention to all aspects of their education and personal growth (study material, motivation, habits) so they become consistently more accomplishment-minded. Beyond subject content, thorough assessment and constructive feedback of study and personal habits are provided continuously, lesson by lesson, with strong emphasis on discipline, focus, hard work and self confidence, so they become better, more fulfilled and successful in Math *and their other subjects too*, a decisive factor particularly in years 11 and 12. Furthermore, I do understand the economic and time investment involved, and offer a completely personalised study plan tailored to the student's needs. Regular 2 hs/week of lessons results in at least a consistent B plus, and in most instances A. Having lived, studied and worked in four continents (North and South America, Europe and Oceania), work experience in telecom and mining companies and postgraduate studies in the UK and USA allow me to offer a more well-rounded educational experience. *****Highlights of my work***** * Personal commitment to unlocking my students' potential. I greatly value your trust and make sure both students and parents are very happy with the outcomes. * Time & stress management; study, goal setting and test/exam taking skills are evaluated from the start. *This is key in promoting improvement in Math and all other subjects* * As I teach intensively on a daily basis (I work with 25-50+ students weekly year round) I know the most commonly tested topics and make sure to prioritise them. * All questions are always welcomed and all students are treated with great encouragement, high expectation, attention and respect. * Students are continuously encouraged to achieve higher proficiency levels, we move swiftly onto more advanced material as soon as they seem confident. Fast, steady improvements are not uncommon among my students. * Together with understanding the principles and academic improvement, special emphasis on confidence, enjoying the discovery and learning process, and realising how simple yet very beautiful and rewarding Math can be! *WE ARE ALL MUCH MORE CAPABLE AND STRONGER THAN WHAT WE MAY THINK WE ARE* Year by year my students have successfully gained admission to / graduated from ANU, University of Adelaide, UniSA, Flinders University, University of Melbourne, Monash University, RMIT, Deakin University, University of Sydney, UNSW, Macquarie University, University of Technology Sydney, University of Queensland, Queensland University of Technology, Bond University, University of the Sunshine Coast, CQU, James Cook University, University of Western Australia, Curtin University, Edith Cowan University, Australian Defence Force Academy and top-rated overseas universities. A substantial number of them enter highly competitive and demanding programs in Medicine, Dentistry, Physiotherapy, Optometry, Medical Imaging, Biotechnology, Veterinary Science, Law, Architecture, Civil / Aeronautical / Electrical / Mechanical / Chemical / Biomedical Engineering, Information Technology, Computer Science, Data Science, Accounting, Business/Commerce, Finance, Economics, among others. *REGULAR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL EXERCISE ARE KEY TO HEALTH, SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS* Verifiable Testimonials: "I tried several other tutors before meeting you but they didn't help. Thankfully I found you Andrew, I wouldn't have improved so much to be now ready to start university if it wasn't for your expert and dedicated guidance.

Reviews

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. Last year I 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!

My son is in his first year of a physics degree, and says the best part of Andrew's tutoring apart from his incredible knowledge (he can answer so many questions off the top of his head) is the resources he freely sent, such as revision guides & old exams. My son feels that Andrew genuinely cares about how he is going and really wants him to succeed in his degree. Andrew has been integral in helping my son to fill in knowledge gaps in both maths and physics. His communication skills are excellent and prices are very reasonable given his level of expertise and effectiveness. This mum couldn't be more grateful!!

To whom it may concern, Andrew was the maths tutor for our twin boys for over a year. He adapted easily to tutoring the boys together, in person and later, due to COVID restrictions, using online applications for individual sessions. Andrew’s love of maths and enthusiasm for teaching are stand out features in his tutoring. He is patient and undeterred in achieving understanding of maths concepts in his students. He improved our sons capabilities in maths and this was rewarded by them both achieving grades which were 1 -2 levels above their pre-tutoring grades. We were grateful to Andrew for his consistent efforts and would be happy call upon his expertise again in the future. Kind regards, Dr Heather Stevens Contact supplied via Mr Chavez with approval

To whom it may concern I hired Andrew to help me improve my marks in math methods and specialist. I was getting Bs mostly and some Cs and needed to improve to As within less than two terms before the finals. With Andrew we moved quickly to the harder exercises and did many problems above topic, this helped me be much more confident I could really ace my tests, which happened in the same term! He also helped me so much understand the requirements of the assignments with all the their details and I got As in both too. I finished with A+ in methods and A- in specialist and got admitted to my first degree choices in two excellent universities (Sydney and Melbourne). The things that helped me so much with Andrew were his work with higher level material and his very accurate and clear explanations, he is also very encouraging and approachable, unless some school teachers. Andrew's skills and personal approach to tuition are exceptional and I recommend him very much!

Andrew very successfully tutored my year 2 daughter in maths that was over two years ahead of the curriculum. My daughter was able to complete exercises in long multiplication and division, fractions, percentages, algebra, equations that was comparable to years 4 and 5 maths level. Andrew also impressed us with his professionalism and was always very approachable and easy to communicate with. He provided us with regular updates of her progress and plenty of weekly homework. We wholeheartedly recommend his maths tutoring services, we had been looking for a maths tutor for a while and were very glad to find someone who does concentrate on this subject and was so thorough and accomplished, it worked very well for us!

Hi Andrew, Thanks for you message, I was very very happy with my final results, I got A overall for Math. I was able to achieve a 95.35 Atar which exceeds the guaranteed entry mark for the courses I have applied to. I received my formal offer from the university of Sydney to study a bachelor of medical science / advanced studies and am excited to be moving there later this year. Thank you so much for all your help through the year I could really see how much of a difference it was making. Thank you again for all your support and all the best for the new year. Kind regards, Fin

Hi Andrew, I can proudly say I reached my goal and finished Mathematical Methods on an A, and in regards to my ATAR got a score of 99.35! Making me eligible for all of my preferences which included University of Adelaide and UNSW! I am so very happy with my achievements this year! I just wanted to reiterate the amount of gratitude I have for the work and effort you have put in to teaching me this year. I honestly owe you so much for helping me reach my potential! Thank you so much Andrew! I'll be sure to keep all your advice and tips in mind through all my life ventures! Thank you so much for being not only my tutor but a mentor over the course of this year, all your teachings are greatly appreciated! I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and an amazing 2020! Yours sincerely, Zachary Smith

Andrew provided me with a comprehensive, meticulous service unmatched in rigor and detail with a high degree of specialization for my individual needs (Stage 2 Math Methods). My experience with him yielded very rewarding results, increasing my grades significantly on short notice. Of particular note, Andrew excelled in his detailed explanation of concepts, practical techniques and a unique motivation to succeed. Andrew instilled a deeper foundational understanding of concepts that were often only given surface level explanations in class. I was able to understand these concepts in a more holistic way, due to his patient and effective explanations. Additionally his demeanor was always encouraging and helpful, while insisting I gained full mastery of a concept before moving on, and then later following up on my retention of these concepts. Andrew's approach is informed, systematic and effective, while remaining warm and unintimidating. In addition to helping me understand the most complicated concepts, Andrew provided me with a host of tips, habits and tricks to succeed in study, class and under exam circumstances. Andrew applied the same systematic, easy-to-follow approach as with presenting math concepts in how to be effective in all other aspects of the course, providing indeed a tutoring service that is truly comprehensive and leaves no stone unturned. It is no use understanding the concepts if you buckle under exam pressure or study time is not optimised. Andrew’s advice allowed me to face exam stress and anxiety and remain focused during my final Stage 2 exams while managing my time effectively. These lessons have been invaluable and have retained their relevance and applicability in my current university studies. In addition to developing a greater mathematical understanding and assisting in exams and study, Andrew provided me with a unique motivation I have not found with any other tutor, and very few teachers. When working with Andrew, he inspired me to achieve my absolute best academic performance. While I was often indifferent towards my math teachers at school, when working with Andrew I was motivated to succeed, simply due to the faith and respect he put in me. Andrew's tutoring service is unique in its almost scientific efficiency and depth, not only covering course material but providing wide-ranging avenues to success not taught in the classroom while remaining extremely engaging. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to any student, whether struggling with math, or simply looking to reach peak performance. Sincerely, Ahmed Azhar University of Adelaide

To Whom It May Concern Re Andrew, Specialist Maths Tutor We used Andrew to help our year 4 son gain confidence in maths after a particularly difficult year. Casey's teacher was not the approachable type and Casey just buried himself at the back of the maths class hoping he wouldn't get asked a question. His tests all came back with very poor results and "see me", bet there seemed to be no following up and no time to explain the maths to him on a one on one basis. By the end of the year he was convinced he was hopeless at maths and would never understand it. So we embarked on "getting a tutor" for Casey, during the summer holidays, so that he'd feel more positive about maths at the start of year 5. After his first lesson with Andrew Casey showed more positivity and after six or seven lessons started talking about "getting an A in maths". He was always keen to go to his lesson (unlike Kumon, which I'd tried the year prior) and he showed a concentration level I never dreamed of. Each lesson was an hour and a half, on Andrew's recommendation, and I could scarcely believe that Casey remained focused and attentive throughout the whole session. Every time. Of course getting him to do the worksheets for homework was a little harder but nonetheless Andrew had made enough of an impression that Casey didn't want to disappoint him. So he worked quite hard at home to make progress on the sheets that Andrew emailed to me, regularly and without fail - and with answers! Furthermore, Andrew was always prompt, never let us down with attendance, and was always readily available on his mobile or via email. I received updates on Casey's progress and felt that Andrew was as personally invested in Casey's education as we were. Casey returned to school this week and has already been crowing about his maths prowess compared to his classmates. He can tell the time confidently (at last!) and knows his times tables well. He can solve equations, work with fractions and knows about "the power of". In short, I can recommend Andrew very highly as he is a specialised maths tutor, which is not easy to find, and he turned Casey round from hating maths to being the student who helps the kid next to him. Please don't hesitate to call me regarding Andrew - I would be delighted to speak to you personally to commend him. Sincerely Heidi Wooller

Andrew was my Maths tutor for nearly 2 years. He helped me a lot in Stage 1 and 2 Maths Methods, and specially Specialist Maths. I found Maths became very easy after he taught me different maths skills, problem solving skils, exam skills and different maths concepts. With Andrew's guidance and support I managed to obtain an ATAR of 99.65 and the National Merit scholarship at the University of Melbourne; I was also invited to attend the SACE Merit Ceremony last 5th of February 2019. Andrew is a very reliable and patient tutor, he can solve every hard maths problem for me and takes time to explain them. He assisted me a lot in my maths folios by suggesting a great deal of useful and interesting ideas and teaching me how to explain them well. Andrew is a very important role in my Maths study in high school. Before we started lessons I already had average Maths marks of about 90%, Andrew encouraged me to aim for excellence and made the concepts easier, more clear, bringing my averages to over 95%. My final SACE scores were ideal with Andrew's help because I got A plus and A for my two maths subjects. Andrew is an excellent Maths tutor and I cannot recommend him enough! Thank you for teaching me Maths I enjoyed the lessons very much. Yours sincerely Jillian Zha Pembroke School

Hi Andrew! Happy New Year! My final results went very well, I got an A- for Methods and for Specialist. My ATAR was 97.25. I am still in the process of enrolling for my course in uni. I've been accepted to Architectural and Structural Engineering (Honours) at the University of Adelaide. Hope you are doing well. Thank you very much for all your help last year!

All what I can say is thank you Andrew for your exceptional work with my son this year. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical in the beginning, as he had never been happy doing Math, let alone get good grades in this subject in his first 8 school years. In a matter of a few lessons, Andrew helped Robbie be convinced that Math could be understood and enjoyed, and finally mastered. Andrew has helped him increase his marks from nearly failing to 80%s and 90%s in two terms, his confidence is also much, much better than before. I couldn’t believe Robbie was doing Andrew’s homework by himself from the first lesson!! We are all very happy at home with this outcome. Andrew is very patient, it is also evident he has a great deal of experience, and he does his best to make Math as easy and pleasant as possible. My most sincere recommendation of Andrew’s tutoring services to all parents and students.

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical in the beginning, as he had never been happy doing Math, let alone get good grades in this subject in his first 8 school years. In a matter of a few lessons, Andrew helped Robbie be convinced that Math could be understood and enjoyed, and finally mastered. Andrew has helped him increase his marks from nearly failing to 80%s and 90%s in two terms, his confidence is also much, much better than before. I couldn’t believe Robbie was doing Andrew’s homework by himself from the first lesson!! We are all very happy at home with this outcome. Andrew is very patient, it is also evident he has a great deal of experience, and he does his best to make Math as easy and pleasant as possible. My most sincere recommendation of Andrew’s tutoring services to all parents and students.
