About the Tutor
Hi, I’m Harrison!
If you’re looking for a great math tutor, then you’ve come to the right place. My students and I are a team, and we are in this together to win!
If you’re a student who’s prepared to regularly apply yourself, broaden your mind, focus during lessons, and try your best, then I’m the right tutor for you.
Education and Teaching Expertise
Over the past 15 years as a maths tutor I’ve had the privilege of helping students of all ages and abilities build confidence, develop problem-solving skills, and achieve their academic goals. My experience ranges from supporting struggling learners who need to rebuild their mathematical foundations to guiding high-achieving students prepare for exams. This breadth of experience has given me a deep understanding of the different ways that students think about mathematics and the importance of adapting my approach to suit each individual’s learning style.
At university I’ve studied a Bachelor of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, a Bachelor of Information Technology, and a Bachelor of Software Engineering. This has given me a strong foundation in advanced mathematics, logical reasoning, and analytical problem-solving. My academic background has deepened my understanding of mathematical concepts such as proofs, logic, algebra, functions, differential equations, complex and real analysis, number theory, graph theory, probability, statistics, and calculus. The technical and theoretical knowledge gained through years of study allows me to connect mathematics to real-world applications in science, technology, and engineering — helping me convey to students the relevance and beauty of what they learn.
What Sets Me Apart
Tutoring is my livelihood and I treat it with the utmost respect. As a full-time tutor, my priority is the education of my students, and I go above and beyond to ensure they succeed. Unlike a typical classroom setting, you won’t get recycled explanations. I provide a range of alternative methods and explanations, tailored to each student’s needs. I also take the time to understand how each student learns best, allowing me to adjust my pace and approach accordingly. I encourage active participation and feedback, ensuring students feel comfortable and engaged, and offer additional lessons during exam and assessment periods, making myself available when students need the extra support. My flexibility, care, attention to detail, and ability to engage students are what set me apart.
With me as your tutor, no question will go unanswered. If a problem has not been answered to the students satisfaction during the lesson, the student will receive a video or document with a detailed explanation of the solution. I believe in providing thorough support, so lessons will not end abruptly just because the time is up. The topic or problem at hand will be finalised to the best of my ability, even if that means going overtime. I also understand how frustrating it can be to get stuck on a problem and then have to wait an entire week to ask your tutor for help. This is why I encourage my students to reach out between lessons with any issues they are struggling with. I make it a point to respond promptly — typically within a day or two. Note that additional services such as these are not offered by tutoring agencies, as it goes against agency policy for tutors to provide services outside of lessons.
