I can help you get smarter :)
Call me 'Garth of the Asian Five', ;) or a 'Renaissance Man' as did my Knox School Principal :)
I tutor in any of those subjects (Chem, Phys, Biol, Maths Methods, Specialist Maths), English and more.

But it's about your goals: What do you want to achieve? I can help you :)

I enjoy sharing knowledge and understanding and skills.

I am available on daytimes and nighttimes throughout the week, even Saturday night and Sunday.
Call me and we'll make a time that suits you!

I am able to help you with the books and worksheets you have, or design something specifically for you at your request.
I can help in VCE as well as all years secondary and primary.

If you have an unusual subject, please ask: I'll give almost anything a go! :)

A qualification on the 'Online Help'/'Phone Help' thing: I do online tutoring. For our first online sessions I ask that the payment be made in advance. But send me a message and let's have a chat about what kind of help you need and how we can best meet your need.

Experience

5 years recent tutoring, and a lifetime of helping people learn.

I have tutored in VCE Specialist Maths, Maths Methods, Further Maths, Chemistry,
Physics, Biology, Phys Ed., Psychology,
Legal Studies and English.

Also, I am willing to tutor other subjects and learn what you need to learn in order to
teach you.
I can also tutor in Music Theory.

I have helped 1st year Uni students in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Maths, as well as
several Nursing Calculations students,
and people seeking to enter the police academy.

I also tutor all years primary and secondary, all subjects.

Qualifications

VCE ENTER score of 99.00 with high study scores in all subjects: Maths Methods
(45/50), Specialist Maths(45/50),
Physics(45/50),

I have recently (27/2/13) qualified for membership in the Mensa the High IQ Society,
but my joy is in helping others develop the
thinking patterns that characterize the intelligent. I believe that intelligence is a trait
that we all have; something we can choose
to grow in or to neglect.

I have a current Working With Children Check :) and am a student of the great
teacher from Nazareth :)

Rates

*Special deal: $60 for a 1.5 hour session at my home, 20 Beresford Drive, Boronia,
VIC*
The '$40/hour' rate is an approximation based on my fee of $80 for a 2h session at
my home. If you make use of me for longer sessions (e.g. get me for a 3 or 4 hour
session to tutor everyone in your family who needs a bit of help :) the extra hours
are just $30/h. On the other hand, I charge a bit extra if the session is shorter.

The actual formula I use is $20 + $30/h within the session.
Shorter sessions are available, e.g. 1h for just $50, 30min for just $35.

I can also come to your home. I will set a special fee for you based on
appointment length + estimated return travel time. SMS me your address for a quote
:)

SMS/call me and let me know your situation and location :)
Let's agree on a duration and fee which is right for you :)

*Punctuality*
If I'm running late, we start when we are ready, within 60 seconds of my arrival.
If I'm on time, we start on time.
If your late, we started on time.


*Cancellations/Changes to appointments.*
Life is full of surprises: sudden sicknesses, unexpected visitors, unforeseen opportunities, miscommunications, forgetfulness, tragedies, accidents and mishaps. Sometimes life seems unfair. Sometimes things work out better than we expected :)

To protect myself -my business and my family- from the unexpected things occurring in the lives of others, I ask that for all our appointments, we have this agreement:

That if, for any reason whatsoever -within or outside of your control- you cannot (or choose not to) keep your appointment:

There is no personal offense taken by me, and no need for apologies :) because we will have this mutual understanding and expectation:

For weekday appointments (Monday-Friday):
-The appointment's fee will *not* be charged if *at least a full 24h notice* is given by *regular SMS* or call to 0438 773 235.
-The appointment's fee will be charged if *a full 24h notice* is *not* given by *regular SMS* or call to 0438 773 235.

For weekend appointments (Saturday-Sunday)
-The appointment's fee will *not* be charged if notice is given by *regular SMS* or call to 0438 773 235 before *Friday 12noon*.
-The appointment's fee will be charged if notice is *not* given by *regular SMS* or call to 0438 773 235 before *Friday 12noon*.

When notice is given before the above deadlines, it will be accepted by me -without complaint!- as ample time to arrange to serve another in the time with which I had planned to serve you. Thank you :)

In cases when the notice is late, an assuring message, like "I remember our agreement and I'll fix you up for this appointment soon," would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :)

Dress code policy (including online): I ask that each of my students be clothed for their tutoring sessions in a way that is considered acceptable for general public appearance by both their father and their mother and globally, with this serving as a minimum standard: https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/the-qantas-club/dress-guidelines.html
Though not absolutely required, girls and women who are comfortable with wearing a veil, snood or hijab -or a hat or other modest head covering- are encouraged to do so. Inexpensive options can be found here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bandana-Face-Shield-Mask-Fishing-Headwear-Biker-Neck-Tube-Scarf-Headband-Unisex/274441231334
(I’d be delighted to supply my students with one.)

Using my service confirms your acceptance of these terms.

[If your child is failing to take note of and inform you of his appointments or things that may affect his/her ability to attend appointments, I suggest that you might require from him the fee that I will charge. But that will be between you and him/her.]


Peace to you and yours, and thank you for making use of my services :)

Dr. Garth Grenache (Chiropractor) and tutor :)
