Verified Tutor
What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
Knowing that my contributions have positively impacted a student's life and seeing their growth first-hand is very rewarding and motivating.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
My mathematical background has exposed me to many facets of maths and equipped me with the tools and intuition to tackle various types of problems. My education has also developed my organisational and time management skills in order to succeed in math, which I think is crucial for being an excellent tutor. I am also patient and empathetic towards the needs and concerns of students.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I think a tutor should not only serve as a teacher of sorts, but also a mentor. It's important that a student can look up to their tutor to give them the drive and confidence to continue learning since they have a role model who supported them in their learning and accomplishments. Tutors should also give students the tools needed to not only solve specific problems they come across in the classroom, but also for their future outside of school.Tutoring students in 👦 👧

About Andrew
Expert in Mathematical and Scientific Tutoring
This tutor brings a robust background in Physics and Mathematics & Statistics, holding a Bachelor of Science with impressive grades. They excel in conveying complex scientific and mathematical concepts clearly, making them accessible to students at all levels. Their academic journey is adorned with accolades such as high ATAR scores and multiple distinctions in national competitions, underscoring their proficiency and passion for these subjects.
Experienced Youth Mentor and Coach
Beyond academics, this tutor has demonstrated considerable skill in youth mentoring, having volunteered as a karate coach where they taught techniques and fostered discipline among young students. This role polished their leadership qualities and ability to build strong rapport with students. Additionally, volunteering at the Discovery Centre allowed them to engage effectively with younger audiences, further enhancing their communication skills.
Practical Application of Technical Skills
With hands-on experience as a Research Intern where they developed Python code for simulations on quadratic assignment problems, this tutor not only understands theoretical aspects but also practical applications of science and technology. Their ability to research, develop solutions, and communicate findings effectively makes them particularly adept at guiding students through project-based learning and problem-solving tasks in STEM fields.

He is able to easily find terms of a sequence given a recursive rule or explicit rule. He can also use the correlation coefficient and ideas of interpolation and extrapolation to confidently determine if a prediction from a linear regression model is reliable or not.
He had difficulty constructing residual plots and remembering what residuals were, but this was addressed in the lesson.

I challenged him to attempt problems under a time limit and it was good to see him get faster as the exercise continued, which is crucial for time management during an exam. I will be helping him keep on top of his time whilst in an exam in the next couple of lessons.
He is struggling a bit with writing recursive and explicit rules given terms of a sequence, but is able to determine terms of a sequence given the rules.

After some time having last looked at bivariate data, he is able to answer categorical bivariate data problems confidently and with not much difficulty. He also has a good understanding of the correlation coefficient and interpreting such values.
He did have a little difficulty recalling how to calculate column percentages for percentage two-way frequency tables, but this was addressed during the session.

He is able to solve a variety of network/graph problems with only a little reinforcing to ensure his answer is correct. He has a stronger understanding of semi-Eulerian graphs and is able to use Euler's formula to solve a question once he has the formula in his mind.
The only thing I can see that needs improving from this lesson is remembering/memorising Euler's formula, the explict/general rules for arithmetic and geometric sequences and the definition of complete graphs.
