* Multiple 100%, A+s, 99+ ATARs and consistently top uni choice admissions every year * 14+ years | 800+ students | 26000+ hours * My students' success is MY TOP PRIORITY

Andrew taught me IB HL AI maths, I got a 7 in the investigation and in the final exam and was admitted to my first course choice, dentistry. Andrew understood my learning needs, gave me a study plan with exercises and was available to answer my questions after lessons. I was very pleased with my results and highly recommended Andrew's maths tutoring services.

I have managed to pass my two last uni subjects and finally graduate thanks to Andrew's math tutoring. He made these subjects much easier to understand than with tutors and lecturers in the past. He is very organised and reliable as well.

Thank you Andrew for your very opportune and valuable lessons, I've been able to pass my statistics subject and I can now continue with the rest of my studies.

All the best!

Sam

Mr Andrew takes time to explain until he makes sure I fully understand, and I can send him questions after sessions, which I find very helpful. I've gone from B to mostly As since September last year. He is also reliable and punctual with his schedules. I've recommended him to my friends and they are doing better at school as well.

Andrew was my year 12 general maths tutor in 2025, he helped me with all aspects of revision including study techniques, test taking strategies, practice past tests and exams, assignment structure and proofreading. I got As in all my tests, 97% in my investigation and A in my final exam and finished first in General maths at my school. I was also admitted to my top preference, law at Adelaide uni. Andrew's support and knowledge helped me achieve my goals.

My son has started getting straight As and is more confident with his studies. This is as per Andrew's description so we are very glad we picked the right tutor.

Andrew has been very thorough and helpful in helping my child focus on solving complex problems by taking a structured step by step approach.
I highly recommend Andrew.

Andrew is outstanding- he has completely changed my daughter’s attitude to maths. With Andrew’s help she achieved a high distinction and has been accepted into Law! Andrew fostered a growth mindset.

We got more than what we expected with Andrew's tuition, our son is now very happy with his studies, a far cry from the uninterested child who wouldn't even want to start his homework.

Andrew has helped my two children move ahead with their math more than what we expected, now doing year 10 and 11 curriculum being in years 8 and 9. Marks are mostly As as well. Andrew's professionalism and detailed knowledge of his subject matter make him a top choice for students and parents who aim for very high outcomes.

Andrew is teaching my year 5 son year 9 math. Other tutors were not able to achieve this.

I have been able to understand my uni statistics subject much more easily with Andrew's help, and my marks have gone up 20% within a month.

My daughter is very happy with her lessons with Andrew! As per her feedback he is very methodical, knowledgeable and makes sure a great deal of work is done every lesson, which she needs for her two uni subjects.

Andrew has all the methods and strategies to get outstanding results in math, I have learnt a lot and look forward to starting my mechanical engineering degree once I finish high school.

Andrew is a very involved, knowledgeable and supporting tutor, I used to be terrified of math but now I enjoy the challenge and the rewards. My marks are also moving up from borderline fail to steady Bs, which I didn't think would happen this year. Thank you so much Andrew, you've made a difference!!

I am studying with Mr Andrew since April 2025 and we have moved up from year 8 to year 10 in the curriculum, his explanations are always clear and he gives lots of tips on studying, time management, how to stay calm and focused in tests, investigations, etc. which are helping with my other subjects.

Excellent math tutor and most importantly, mentor who has been able to get the best out of my son, who is now on straight As. Jack does year 9 math in his lessons (is in year 6 at school) and looks forward to studying with Andrew every week. Needless to say, we plan to keep Andrew for the rest of my son's schooling.

Andrew has been tutoring my daughter in methods and specialist for six months and we can already see the big improvement in her marks. She was also lacking confidence due to changing teachers and schools last year, which has all resolved. The educational support that Andrew provides is top-notch.

My son is very happy with Mr Andrew's tuition, he has told us he understands a lot more at school and doesn't feel anxious or worried like before. His marks have gone from c to a from term one to three, he has found joy in his maths studies thanks to Mr Andrew.

My year 7 son is studying year 9 maths with Andrew, he is getting straight As in maths at school and is very pleased with his lessons, Andrew is easy-going, approachable and encouraging in a positive way.

I have had lessons with Andrew for two terms and just got my first A in maths since starting high school (I'm in year 10). He previously taught my older brother who also improved a lot and is studying IT at uni. Andrew has been very supportive from the start, I'm very glad he is my tutor as now I feel I have many more choices for university. Thanks Andrew!

Andrew is an amazing maths teacher. My son is a year 4 preliminary student, who had 4 months lessons with Andrew, once a week. At the end of last term in his school, he had the maths evaluation test, he got 100% correct in the level of year 8 maths. He also achieved the best score in year 4 of his school at the maths Olympiad. I would highly recommend Andrew if you kids need a maths coach.

Andrew was my tutor from year 8 to year 12. Back then I had several deficiencies in my maths, and my teachers had told me I would be doing just Standard 2 for my HSC. The problem was, I love maths and science, I want to study engineering, and was very frustrated I could not improve with the tutors I had before. Fortunately, Andrew was very understanding of my current situation, he is a master in explaining all sorts of topics, and his procedures are always to the point and many times quicker and easier than the books! With his guidance and encouragement my marks started improving, I was allowed to do advanced after a few more months, but my objective was extension 2. We continued working weekly, and finally in year 10 my marks were good enough that my teachers gave me the great news of doing both advanced and extension 1. At that point my confidence had grown so much, I kept working very hard and at the start of year 12 I was finally allowed to do extension 2, the hardest maths subject in Australia! My parents are both very happy with these outcomes, for which Andrew has been a major driving force. We are truly grateful for all his expertise, patience and encouragement. Thank you Andrew!

Very professional, reliable and knowledgeable tutor.

Mr Andrew can answer all the questions I ask him, he also helps me with exam and study time management, and to stay motivated and work hard towards my goals. I have found his lessons very valuable from the start.

Best math tutor! Andrew helped me revise for my university final exam and with short notice (3 weeks) I achieved a Distinction, more than what I expected! Thank you Andrew, will surely contact you again in the future.

I have trusted Andrew with my daughter's maths for more than two years, her marks have increased from bs and cs to almost straight as. Andrew goes above presenting the concepts and prescribing homework, he works on confidence and time management. He is very patient and promotes positive habits. We give Mr. Andrew Chavez our highest recommendation.

I have been studying math methods with Mr Andrew for the past 4 months, I just took my first test of the year which went really well (A+). Last year my average was B+ and I am keen to continue moving up and achieve my goal to become a doctor. The kind of support I am receiving from Mr Andrew is comprehensive in terms of notes, advice and relevance. He is also helping me improve study and test taking techniques. I recommend him very highly.

Both my children study with Andrew and are very pleased with his work, they are always ahead of class. Andrew has facilitated a kind of academic growth that we didn't expect, they were one year ahead at the start (2023) and now it's two years! As Yasmin and Greg want to do stem careers we will continue with Andrew for the rest of their studies.

I tried several tutors in the past, many of them with very impressive credentials, but was not completely happy as they didn't make a real effort to connect or to help me improve as I expected. It has been much better with Andrew, he knows his Math in and out and is very patient and is constantly asking if I understand to make sure I improve. He's the best.

I contacted Andrew last year to help me pass my last two uni subjects before graduating. We went over each of the subjects and Andrew helped me reach confidence and skills that were before my initial expectations. I improved around 40% in each subject and I'm very grateful for all the support and positive outcomes achieved thanks to Andrew's top teaching and mentoring skills.

Andrew has been able to explain everything I had trouble with for years. I am a mature student going back to university for an engineering degree, previously I struggled with algebra, trigonometry and all calculus. Recently I got my unconditional admission, which is fantastic news! Thank you Andrew for alll your patience and help!

Andrew is helping me prepare for the SAT and my practice test marks are up 200 since we started just a month ago. I am very happy with his professionalism and how involved he is in my progress.

100% recommended! Andrew taught me mathematical analysis for my uni course and my marks went up from mid 50s to 80s at the end of the term.

I am currently learning Math 1A (Adelaide uni) and we have completed most of the subject before the term starting. Andrew's academic support is top notch.

I have been taking lessons with Mr. Andrew since 2024 and my marks have improved from mid 60s to mid 80s, I do not fear failing anymore and actually started aiming for 90s as I want to do medicine when I finish school. He is so encouraging and can help me with all my math work from school.

Andrew was my maths tutor in 2021, when I was finishing year 12 and aiming for dentistry. I got A+ in maths methods and specialist and secured my admission. Andrew is very reliable in both availability and knowledge, he will be there every time he is scheduled, and will answer any question no matter how hard. I recommend him 100%.

We have trusted Andrew for years with our son's tuition. Cameron used to have recurrent difficulties with many concepts and was not very confident to talk with his teachers about them. He was happy to work with Andrew as the encouragement and helpfulness gave him the confidence to open up.

I've recommended Andrew over the years to friends and family as my children did well with his tutoring. They could always get their questions answered, no matter the difficulty. He was also very dependable, supportive of my children's learning, and quick to communicate.

Andrew has been essential to my educational journey. I didn't finish high school a few years ago and my math skills were rusty. Without Andrew's constant encouragement and support I would have given up my old dream of doing engineering, which I am starting this year.

Andrew not only teaches you, he convinces you to study. He is a true tutoring star.

Andrew is very organised and knows his subject in and out. I improved my uni foundation math marks a lot with him!

We recommend Andrew's personalised math tutoring without reservation. He teaches our son, Jack, once per week, and he is doing curriculum two years beyond his year. I thought this wouldn't be possible but there you go, andrew made it happen.

Andrew is a very patient tutor, he taught me general maths the last two years and I got the marks I needed for vet science. Maths was always one of the harder subjects for me, Andrew helped me not just with the marks but also with learning how to learn and appreciate numbers better.

Andrew 's tutoring is making substantial contributions to my son Pragnesh's maths skills and results. He wants to be in health and with Andrew's teaching and support he is getting the marks he needs.

I am very happy with Andrew's math tutoring, he helped me in years 11 and 12 with math methods and specialist math, I completed the two subjects with A+. Currently I study medicine at Monash university and can credit Andrew and his extensive experience with helping me achieve my goal.

Thank you Andrew, my daughter really enjoys her lessons with you!!

Andrew was my maths tutor from 2018 to 2020. During that time my averages went from B/B+ to A-/A/A+ and was able to finish maths methods and specialist with As in both subjects, helping me achieve a 97.45 atar and gain straight admission to Architecture and Civil engineering at Adelaide university (honours). I recommend Andrew's maths tutoring without reservations as he was always on top of all assessments providing help well beyond what I got at school.

My children have found Andrew's maths lessons very easy to follow and engaging, they are happy to do their homework even during weekends and holidays, which wasn't the case with previous tutors.

A Huge Thanks to Andrew for all his efforts and expert guidance! I finished both methods and specialist with A pluses and I'm now doing Software engineering at Adelaide University. Andrew's lessons were always engaging and apart from sharing his superior knowledge of maths he is super encouraging. Out of all the maths teachers and tutors I had in the past he is the best.

My son loves studying with Andrew, citing his vast knowledge of maths, helpfulness and constant positive encouragement. Having started with a lot of hesitation, as previous tutoring didn't work for him, my son made a complete turn around with Andrew's guidance and managed to finish 2024 with an A in his final exam. He is very keen on engineering and now it is a viable option for him. We are very grateful and will continue using Andrew's services for the rest of my son's studies.

Just wanted to write a testimonial on the amazing job Andrew has done with my son, Thomas, who was struggling last year with maths, barely passing. The moment he started lessons he told me "mum, now I am getting it all!", his next mark, two weeks later, was an A+. He ended up getting three other A+ and an A, finishing on an A at the end of the year.

Andrew has been simply fantastic, my son is much more confident and happy with his studies.

Thank you Andrew for your very good job and the excellent results of Hemi in his finals: A+ in methods and specialist, 99.90 ATAR, scholarships and admissions to all universities applied. He is very happy with his results. Kindest regards

Hi Andrew I hope all is well.. happy new year to you and your young family. I thought I would let you know that I finished all my finals exams and I got high enough marks to get accepted for my bachelors with honours at university. I just wanted to send you this message to thank you once again for helping me so much in my life when I needed guidance the most.. I really appreciate how much you helped me and how far I will now go on in my life.. thank you once again and I hope you have a very great year

The experience I've had with Andrew's educational services has been very positive. A friend of mine had recommended him, as he taught his older brother several years ago and did very well. As I also needed someone who would be able to provide the best maths tutoring possible (I was almost failing at that time) I made the decision to contact andrew and since then my low 50s turned first into 70s, then 80s, now mostly 90s. I went from doubting I could do medicine to actually applying next year.

Andrew has been a real life saver and I recommend his services without hesitation.

I have had several tutors before and Andrew tops them all. It's not just the high academic credentials, but also the willingness to help and the ability to explain any kind of concept easily, the empathy. Not just knowing the subject very well but showing real involvement in students' progress. Andrew placed so much confidence in my capabilities, all well-founded, which made it very easy for me to also strengthen my own confidence and move up from C+ to A in my last year of high school. Now I am in the middle of my engineering studies and his teachings and advice have be all accurate and applicable.

Excellent tutor who is very thorough with his work. My children are both very pleased with his explanations, patience, and the interest he places in their success. Andrew ticks all the boxes in his profession and we recommend him highly to anyone willing to get their maths to the next level.

We are all very happy with Andrew's work with our son. He is not only studying harder, but also dedicating himself to his revisions every day. His exam results are up 17% from term 3 in only a term of tuition, much better than what he got with any of his previous tutors!

We only wish we had signed up to Andrew's maths tutoring services before, as my son struggled for a while at school. We trust he is very well taken care of now.

Andrew is a knowledgeable and dedicated math teacher who explains complex concepts clearly and makes learning enjoyable. He is patient, trustworthy, and consistently goes the extra mile to help students succeed. His passion for teaching and commitment to his students make him an excellent educator.

To whom it may concern,

We have engaged Mr Andrew Chavez from Specialised mathematics education as our son's tutor for the past two years. All communication has been smooth and clear, and my son enjoys Andrew's extensive math knowledge and encouraging style. He plans to do engineering in the future, and Andrew has been helping him with career options as well. We will continue working with Andrew until my son completes his university degree as he has shown superior dedication, professionalism, and expertise.

Earlier this year I contacted Andrew seeking help for my son's SAT preparation. Andrew showed very thorough knowledge of the test and he followed up regularly to confirm my son's progress. The result was an improvement of over 200 point to 1460 and admission to all his university programs.

We recommend Andrew's specialised math tutoring services without hesitation.

Andrew goes beyond what is expected of him. My child thought he will have to do general maths because of some exam result, Andrew convinced him to try his best and one year later he is about to do specialist in year 12.

Fantastic tutor.

Andrew has been most helpful with my daughter's studies, he has helped her get to year 10 maths while in year 8. She mentions he is always willing to help and clarify concepts, and reminds her to be focused and work hard. I will ask Andrew to teach my younger child once he is in high school too.

Andrew's maths knowledge is top-notch! He helped me go from failing ib hl maths in year 11 to a 7 in year 12. He was very supportive from the start and showed so much confidence in my skills, even when I didn't.

Andrew inspires a great deal of trust, he cares about his students and makes sure they improve. I recommended a friend to him and he had the same experience, we both got admitted to engineering right after, he also gave us a lot of advice for the career as well.

Andrew was my maths tutor from year 10. After a non stellar start (several Cs in a row) I decided to engage his services and was not disappointed at all when my first mark was an A+! As I started doing much better right away, I was so happy I recommended him to my brother, then friends and relatives over the years.

Why I recommend Andrew? He knows what works, his strategies and explanations are very clear. From the start he was also very encouraging and respectful, as well as very professional and thorough, and doesn't cancel in the last minute or intimidate you, as I experienced with other tutors and teachers. Andrew really prioritises your improvement every single lesson! Thank you Andrew for all your fantastic help!!

My son and I are grateful for Andrew's Maths tutoring.
He has helped my son achieved excellent results in just one term, his marks have increased over 30% and he has started getting the best results in his class.

Andrew takes his time when explaining concepts and methods. He recognises where the knowledge deficit is and provides support appropriately.

I would recommend Andrew to any high school students requiring assistance in Maths or to any students wanting to extend their knowledge base especially in Mathematics.

Thank you Andrew for your patience in teaching my son. He has a much positive attitude to learning, reaping great outcomes of your time spent with him.

I’m pleased to say that Andrew has been a great teacher for my son. He helped my son(Year 10) be interested and regain confidence in his Maths ability. I noticed that his maths rank in school has kept improving after learning from Andrew in a short time. My son said that Andrew is very knowledgeable and well prepared for each lesson and topic.
We highly recommended Andrew as a great Maths teacher! Thank you so much Andrew for your dedication and support.

My son has shown a big improvement with his Year 12 maths. Andrew has provided him with excellent, highly relevant information. He has always been patient and great at getting the best out of him. I would highly recommend Andrew's services.

andrew has consistently provided helpful advice and methods of doing thing for both specialist math and methods, helping assign and complete homework ahead of dates...

Andrew is patient and has a detail oriented and understanding teaching style. With his help I have been able to improve in maths with a very limited time remaining in the year. He always puts in a lot of effort for his students and looks to push you in the right direction.

Thank you Andrew for all your help throughout these years, my son has learnt so much from you.

We have only praise for Andrew as both our sons have improved so much. He has been his 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.

Very quick message response time, great feedback and communication. Very flexable to work around suitable and convenient time surrounding uni timetable.

Punctual and thorough within lessons. Easy going approach with detailed teaching style.

Andrew has been a great Mathematics tutor who has helped me to succeed in my 2nd year University Mathematics course. Initially, Andrew worked in partnership with me to determine my goals and through weekly sessions, provided explicit instruction to assist me to understand a range of complex concepts and topic areas. As a result of Andrew's guidance and instruction I was able to develop a deeper understanding of a range of concepts and significantly improve my assessment scores.

Andrew was professional, reliable and punctual to all sessions. I found his communication to be regular and clear. I would have no hesitation in recommending Andrew as a Mathematics tutor.

Andrew was very quick to respond and allowed me to start the same week. Our first lesson outlined my requirements as well as outlined exceptions for both my studying and retention of work. Andrew helped me complete all levels of maths within a very very short period of time. He was punctual to all lessons as well as responses to any emails that were sent asking for further clarification of work. I would throughly recommend him to anyone needing help with all levels of mathematics. I am very thankful for his guidance and help with my studies!

Andrew was in charge of both of my sons' maths tutoring, and both were admitted to engineering where they wanted to study (UQ) with considerable improvements in their marks.

Andrew is very methodical, encouraging, thorough and detailed in his explanations and approach, he is also very punctual and was always ready for his lesson as scheduled, no matter how early or late. He is clearly an excellent educator.

I am writing to highly recommend Andrew Chavez's Specialised Math professional tutoring services. He worked with my son throughout years 10 to 12, helping him to become much more confident with mathematics and his studies in general. Leon's marks were progressively higher and he managed to get admitted to Melbourne University's psychology program, #1 ranked in Australia. As Andrew has extensive experience working with many university students, he was able to guide my son to prepare his application, as well as a study plan to set him for success once he started university.

Andrew obviously thrives off helping others, and applies his extensive knowledge and work experience generously. We recommend him without any hesitation.

Andrew helped me go from almost failing Specialist Maths (was stuck on C-) to getting an A at the end of the year, which to me was almost impossible before starting lessons with him. Then he tutored me on the first few university maths subjects in my engineering degree. Always reliable, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, quick to reply all communications. We have recommended him to friends and acquaintances, always with the same feedback.

Just be quick to contact him, as we know he is always busy with students!

Andrew is a great maths teacher that really improved my skills. He is also very encouraging and motivates me to strive for excellence in my studies.

Andrew has been a fantastic tutor. He helped me understand specialist maths better and gave me useful resources to improve my grades. He also encouraged me to create a better study plan. His lessons are great because he explains things clearly and lets you tackle problems directly. Whenever I needed help, he was quick to assist. I highly recommend Andrew if you need help with high-level maths.

Andrew is my Mathematics tutor and has helped me to better and more efficiently get through the course material in the IB. My brother previously worked with Andrew in the IB and he was able to achieve outstanding results and is now studying at the University of Sydney. Andrew was also accommodating during my search for my maths investigation topic, allowing me more time to work on the investigation.

Extremely knowledgeable, polite, very capable with maths and how he presents it to students. Andrew was able to translated very complicated and unclear math concepts in a very clear and concise manner, regardless of topic. I have been his student for over 3 years and he is clearly above all other tutors I've had before. I plan to keep him until I finish my university studies as he has helped me so much!

I would highly recommend Andrew to be your math tutor. He's very patient and explains problems in a very simple way. I can feel he really cares and always motivates me to do better and be more confident. I've improved so much in my math studies within a term time.

Through his well structured lessons and his very effective teaching methodologies, my son's Math knowledge and problem solving skills have improved steadily and faster than ever before.

Andrew gives my son different activities which not only make the lessons interesting but also made it easy for him to understand problems well. He also not only encourages him on every step but helped him become more and more confident through his lessons.

I love the feedback after each lesson and we can see measurable results in our son's grades and self reliance.

Andrew is not only a very knowledgeable, reliable and dedicated tutor but also a great coach and mentor that our family can fully depend on.

When your child tells you that his tutor is helping him solve questions they couldn't get help with at school, or they got them more clearly worked out, you know it was a very good decision to hire him.
Thank you Andrew for all your help!!

Andrew was introduced to our family by a close friend whose son had been his student for five years. They were also recommended by a then current student who also had been Andrew's regular student for over two years. Both had been very happy with Andrew's work, citing his trustworthiness, extensive knowledge and communication skills as outstanding. Our experience with Andrew has been just the same, our son Timothy was able to remain in math methods after a difficult start, once he had Andrew as his tutor in year 11 he went from almost falling to securing his place and finishing year 12 with an overall A score and 95.3 atar. Timothy was also much happier and much more confident with math after Andrew took over.

Just like our friends, we were also very happy with Andrew's work and have no hesitation to recommend him highly.

Our year 7 daughter, Alannah, has had lessons with Andrew for the past 6 months, during which she has gone from completely uninterested in the subject to looking forward to her lessons, working more on her homework and as a result achieving a huge improvement (over 30%) in her marks. Not only that, as she's been doing so well, she has started working on year 8 maths. We are all over the moon with her progress!

I have sat with my daughter during some of her lessons, Andrew's teaching style is effortless, very accommodating and patient, but he also gently raises the bar higher and higher, which has worked so well for our daughter.

We were so right in contacting Andrew, and recommend his tutoring services without any hesitation.

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for your work so far. My son said he is finding it really beneficial. I appreciate how you are working with him. He says it is making a difference.
Have a great day
Karen

Good morning Andrew, I have good news to share & thank you for your tutoring. William got 14/15 in IA3 (y) At current stage his maths specialist got 39/50. Maths methods got 48/50. This is close to 20% better than just last term. Thank you very much!

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for all your assistance, perseverance, time and dedication to Lex. His overall Maths Methods score was an A and he would not have been able to achieve this without your help.

He moved up a grade from a B/sometimes A to a constant A and his overall ATAR confirmed an A score for this subject.

As a result, he managed to secure 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 also for the application to the Scholarship too, the latter granted as well.

My second son is taking Maths Methods too and I will definitely reach out to you to assist and support his studies through this subject.

Thank you again for all your efforts, your help has been invaluable.

Much appreciated.

My name is Chris, I was fortunate to engage with Andrew Chavez of Specialist Maths Education in mid-2023 to support me in my potential quest to attend University as a mature student (54 years of age).

Initially I was trying to assess whether attending University would be possible, and if I had the capacity to undertake a STEM degree at University level education with a year 11 high school education.

Andrew and I had several meetings, during which he assessed my commitment and capacity to learn, as well as develop an understanding of the needs for the potential bachelor degree’s that I would be interested in studying.

A plan was developed which involved me commencing year 10 equivalent lessons, working my way through year 11 and 12 across a 7-month period.

With Andrew’s guidance and tuition, I was able to progress quickly and secure a place at University earlier than expected as I completed the preparation plan a week prior to semester 1 in 2024.

The foundation knowledge and development of a capacity to learn was invaluable – I have successfully completed semester 1 in my undergraduate degree (all subjects with high distinctions) and I look forward to enjoying my studies over the next 3-4 years.

Andrew’s support, advice, encouragement and detailed knowledge of both 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
2024.

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

This review is to commend the work of Andrew, who was my methods tutor in 2019. Thanks to his expert, dedicated guidance I reached my goal and finished Mathematical Methods on an A, and in regards to my ATAR got a score of 99.35, which granted me admissions for all of my preferences which included University of Adelaide and UNSW, as well as a substantial Defence University Sponsorship! I was very happy with my achievements, which were to an important degree thanks to him. I am very grateful for the work and effort he put in to teaching me and help me improve substantially in this subject, key to my engineering admissions. I owe him so much for helping me reach my potential! Thank you so much Andrew! Thank you so much for being not only my tutor but a mentor over the course of my last high school year, all your teachings are greatly appreciated!

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!

To whom it may concern: Andrew was recommended to me by a friend who was his long term student and who had improved a lot in HL Math so I decided to get his help with this subject as well. We did a full revision and prepared also for the topic paper which was in Statistics. Andrew helped me clarify some concepts and types of exercises which fortunately came in the finals! He has very thorough knowledge of what is tested and his explanations are always so clear that I had the impression I could do much more right after every lesson. I managed to finish with a 6, ATAR of 96 and got unconditional admissions from UNSW, ANU and finally the University of Sydney which also gave me a scholarship. I have since recommend Andrew to other friends, his level of support and experience, and the confidence he brought to my preparation were top notch.

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!

I started tuition with Andrew in term 1 last year. My grades were suffering and my tests couldn't go above 30. It was a desperate situation. Before finishing term 2 I managed to improve to mid to upper seventies and then continued improving the rest of the year. My improvement was of over 50% for the year. I consider Andrew exceptional because the way he explained those concepts making them so easy to understand, and the expectation and trust in my capabilities. Now I'm fully confident I can go through year 12 and uni with success.

Hi Andrew, thank you so much for your support throughout 2019! As mentioned on my email I went from failing my initial math tests last year to improving over 50% in only one term!! This helped me receive my first preference for University, which was a Bachelor course for Social Work at the University of NSW! I also received an invitation to study at the University of Sydney (however I finally chose UNSW). Thank you for all your help during the year! I'm all very pleased with my results and am relieved to know that they are a product of my best efforts. Kind regards Teani

Thanks to Andrew I managed to get As in math methods and specialist. I am now in my second year of engineering at the University of Adelaide and his teachings have been invaluable. Andrew clears up all concepts to you, helps you be more confident lesson by lesson, and always has your objectives and needs in mind. He is super reliable and knowledgeable, always punctual and able to solve and explain even the hardest problems, those that no one else could help me with. I was also very impressed by his attention to detail, he tells you everything you need to know to improve, not only about the subjects but also study and time management habits. I feel very fortunate for all his help and recommend him without any reservations.

Andrew was my Maths tutor for nearly 2 years. He helped me a lot in Stage 1 and 2 Maths Methods, and especially 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 on the 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.

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", but 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.

Upon Casey's return to school he was already crowing about his maths prowess compared to his classmates. He could tell the time confidently (at last!) and know his times tables well. He could solve equations, work with fractions and explain "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.

Andrew provided me with a comprehensive, meticulous service unmatched in rigour 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 demeanour 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.

Update: Robbie is finishing high school this year and is now a straight A Math Methods student (with one perfect and another nearly perfect mark in his tests!). Andrew's highly experienced, knowledgeable teaching and relentless support have been fundamental to my son's improvement and cannot recommend him enough.

(Original review term 2, June 2017):
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.
