 Mornington Peninsula - Langwarrin

Learning Specialist | Intensive Numeracy Intervention

Mornington Peninsula tutor in Algebra, Geometry, Maths, Statistics, Study Skills, High school mathematics - Years 7-9 Upper primary mathematics - Year 4-6

I am a middle school Maths teacher and Learning Specialist with extensive experience supporting students at levels 5–9, including those requiring targeted numeracy intervention and those aiming for extension pathways.

In my current role, I lead intensive numeracy intervention for students identified through NAPLAN and school data as needing additional support to strengthen foundational maths skills and rebuild confidence. I work with students across a wide range of abilities, including those significantly below expected level through to high-achieving learners preparing for selective and extension programs.

My teaching focuses on clear, structured, and explicit instruction that helps students understand how and why maths works, not just memorise procedures.

What I help students with:
- Fractions, decimals, percentages, and integers
- Negative integers - Algebra and equations
- Linear relationships and graphing - Worded problems and problem-solving strategies
- Geometry and measurement
- Statistics and chance
- Pythagoras and trigonometry - Confidence with basic numeracy and core skills
- Confidence navigating school tools such as textbooks and online platforms such as Essential Assessment
- Extension and higher-order reasoning for advanced students
- Understanding feedback and data provided by your child's school

My approach:
- Explicit step-by-step teaching of concepts
- Breaking down complex skills into manageable steps
- Targeted feedback that addresses misconceptions
- Building confidence through structured success
- Diagnostic identification of learning gaps

Ideal for students who:
- Are behind in maths or lack confidence
- Need support after NAPLAN results or school testing
- Want to strengthen core skills before high school maths pathways
- Are capable but need extension and challenge
- Want to feel 'like they already knew this' when attending math lessons at school

Based in Melbourne’s south-east suburbs (including Mornington Peninsula & Cardinia areas)
- Online sessions also available
- Years 5–9 Maths (all ability levels)
- Rates negotiable depending on needs and year level
