As a classroom maths teacher at one of Melbourne's leading state schools, I specialise in both; numeracy support for foundation students and maths extension for accelerated students. As a passionate educator, I enjoy helping children reach their potential, give a fresh take on numbers and discover the true meaning behind 'solving for x'.
Unlike a high achieving student teaching another student; a qualified maths teacher, can diagnose and fill numeracy gaps, help students be more self-efficient learners, prep for NAPLAN or learn what to expect from topic tests.
I have over 4+ years of experience teaching both in the classroom and private tutoring. I have thorough knowledge of the current Vic Maths curriculum and have experience teaching General, Further, and Methods 3/4. Currently tutoring 4 other students with availability for 1 more. In light of COVID, I am offering online tutoring or service up to 5km from Southbank.
My approach is keep it simple; be patient, get back to basics, build number sense and a child will build maths confidence in no time! :D
Give me a text or call to have a quick chat about your child's needs and arrange a FREE initial session. I look forward to hearing from you.

"With remote learning and everything else, my daughter has really been struggling with maths. I found Lena online, and she's been a real help at keeping her on track. My daughter says the lessons are fun and relevant, and she often uses lessons from her own classroom. She brought Smarties over for an algebra lesson the other day so I'm not complaining. Highly recommend!"
