I offer individual mathematics tutoring for students in middle school and senior secondary years, with particular experience in IB Mathematics and SACE Mathematics. Tutoring is available either in person or online and can be arranged as ongoing support or as short-term, intensive preparation for assessments or examinations.

I am a registered teacher in South Australia with over two decades of experience in education, I have worked with a wide range of learners — from students who lack confidence or feel “behind”, to those aiming for strong academic results and focused exam readiness. My approach is calm, structured, and responsive to the needs of both the student and the family.

I work with:

• Middle school students who need consolidation of core skills and confidence-building

• IB students (AA or AI) seeking clear explanations, structured revision, or exam preparation

• SACE students requiring support with coursework, problem-solving, or assessment readiness

• Students who are capable but anxious, perfectionistic, or discouraged by mathematics

• Students whose learning has been affected by disruption, disengagement, or broader personal challenges

Tutoring focuses on:

• Developing genuine understanding rather than rote methods

• Breaking complex ideas into manageable, logical steps

• Strengthening mathematical language, reasoning, and problem-solving

• Supporting organisation, study habits, and exam confidence

• Adapting pace, expectations, and structure to suit the learner

I am experienced in working with students who present with diverse learning needs or whose engagement with school has been impacted by factors such as interrupted schooling, social difficulties, or wellbeing challenges.

Sessions are typically one-to-one and tailored to the student’s curriculum, goals, and stage of development. Online tutoring is conducted via video conferencing with shared digital tools and is suitable for most secondary students. In-person tutoring may be available by arrangement in the following council areas: The Adelaide Hills, Adelaide, Burnside, Mitcham, Norwood Payneham & St Peters, Prospect, Unley and Walkerville.

Enquiries are welcome from parents seeking thoughtful, steady support — whether for long-term development or time-bound academic preparation.
