A skills-based approach to mathematics tutoring tailored to the Victorian Curriculum
Hello, I'm Tim!
Hello, I'm Tim!
I am a passionate and experienced mathematics tutor. My journey as an educator has taken me from high school classrooms to university lecture halls, where I’ve guided students through many academic challenges. This experience gave me unique insights into academic success, which I’ve imbued into my approach at Beyond Maths.

Beyond Maths celebrates personal growth, cultivation of effective study skills, and an appreciation for mathematics. This holistic approach is evident in our lessons and carefully curated resources, both grounded in leading scholarship on the science – and art – of teaching.

Whether I’m helping a Year 6 student grasp fractions or a Year 12 preparing for VCE exams, my goal is to create a supportive, engaging environment where students feel confident, capable and excited to learn.

University of Melbourne
I teach academic skills to undergraduate and postgraduate students at the University of Melbourne. Skills such as metacognition, active learning, note-taking and time management are essential yet often implicit within classrooms. Our lessons will explicitly coach students to master these strategies.

University of Melbourne
This is where I built my passion for teaching and learned from the best educators in Australia’s leading university for education. I trained in high-impact teaching strategies and specialised in inquiry based learning, which remains central to my teaching approach today. As a pre-service teacher, I gained valuable experience at Balywn High School, Albert Park College and Mentone Grammar.

Positive learning environment
You carry a calm gentle spirit that is welcoming, safe and builds trust easily. Your teaching experience is evident by your ability to adjust quickly and adapt your lessons as you observe student’s understanding and capabilities. Thank you for encouraging her by allowing her to see that she was competent and capable of working out the problems herself. This is priceless!

Pedagogical expertise
Tim’s understanding of learning and pedagogy is at a sophisticated level. His work at the University of Melbourne was at such a high level that one of his essays was published by the Victorian Commercial Teachers Association. He considers all aspects of teaching in a highly thoughtful way, and I enjoyed his insights into education in the year I taught him.
Daniel C
Clinical Teaching Specialist
From my first student in 2018
Maths was a daunting subject for me, but Tim helped me gain confidence and obtain a better understanding of all the topics. He is very patient and encouraging and I felt comfortable approaching him with any difficulties. He was also a great mentor, motivating me through a difficult year. I would highly recommend Tim for anyone looking for a committed and supportive tutor.
Fiona W

Classroom environment
Tim is patient and calm in his approach to teaching. He looks to reason with students in a proactive manner which helps them feel heard and valued, building their confidence when asking questions in a classroom. His measured demeanor has facilitated an inclusive and positive learning environment.

Mentor Teacher
After the first lesson
Mikaela felt encouraged and enjoyed the lesson. She appreciated how you asked her how she worked out the questions and that you led her to the answer for herself (e.g. prompting with a clue). She compared it to other classes, where the teacher just instructs the student how to work it out straight away, leaving her confused about the how or why behind the what.

VCE-ready skills
I would 100% recommend Tim as a tutor as he has helped me improve my SAC scores this year. He really breaks things down and showed me how to approach problems more logically. The study plan that we made before VCE exams really helped me stay laser focused. He’s a great teacher for sure.

Tim has been a great tutor, he explains maths concepts clearly and makes sure that I really understand before moving forward. He understands how stressful VCE can be and gave me great tips to pace myself and prepare for SACs and exams. I’m grateful for the support, it’s made all the difference this year!
