Most students who think they're "bad at Maths" aren't. They just hit one shaky topic in Year 7 or 8, never fully patched it, and have been quietly building on a crack ever since. By Year 9 it feels like the whole subject is against them. Almost always, the fix is smaller than they expect.
That's the part I enjoy. I studied Chemistry at IIT Bombay, which is the kind of place where you don't get to memorise your way through anything. You either understand why something works or you fall behind fast. That trains a very specific skill: taking something that looks intimidating and stripping it back until it's obvious. That's exactly what I do with Year 8 and 9 Maths.
Lessons are online and one to one, on a live iPad whiteboard where we actually work through problems together rather than me lecturing at a screen. I can see the moment a student hesitates, and that hesitation usually tells me more than their answer does. We chase it down and fix the real gap, not just the question in front of us.
I start every new student with a free 30 minute diagnostic session. No commitment. I work out where they actually are, send you an honest written report, and you decide from there. Sydney based, Working With Children Check cleared, $70 per hour.

Experience

I teach Year 8 and 9 Maths online, one to one, following the NSW syllabus and working from the Cambridge textbooks students use in class. Sessions run on a live iPad whiteboard so we solve problems together in real time, which lets me spot exactly where a student's understanding breaks down and fix it on the spot. My background is in Chemistry at IIT Bombay, where mastering hard technical concepts under pressure was the norm, so I know how to break difficult ideas down and make them simple for someone learning them for the first time. Every new family starts with a free 30 minute diagnostic session and receives a written report on where their child stands and what we would work on.

Qualifications

Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, IIT Bombay (one of the most competitive universities in the world; admission required ranking in the top 0.5% of 1.4 million students in India's national engineering entrance exam). Sydney based, with a current Working With Children Check.
