Education
I graduated from the University of Queensland with a Bachelor of Science, extended major in Mathematics. I studied cross institutionally at UWA for two semesters.
Experience
Maths and Stats aren't the easiest subjects to get through, and if you're coming into a compulsory maths/ stats unit without much of a maths background, it could very well look like you're trying to learn a foreign language. The fact that it all builds on earlier topics covered means that by a couple of weeks in, you could be feeling left behind very quickly. The good news is that by working through it step by step and building on the fundamentals, what was once very intimidating doesn't have to seem that difficult at all. As a tutor, I help busy students study more effectively and get on top of their unit material quicker. For the past four years, I've been tutoring a wide range of students and professionals in Mathematics and Statistics. A recent focus of my tutoring has been on helping undergraduate and postgraduate students in Biostatistics, mostly for public health units. In addition to that and the standard undergrad Maths/ Stats subjects (Psych Stats, Calculus, Linear Algebra), I've also tutored a number of people looking to sit the GMAT exam to get into business school and students sitting the Defence Force entrance exam. During my time studying some difficult units, I found summarising my notes with flow charts and breaking problems down into small steps helped greatly and I've found that helping students with this technique really translates well with tutoring. It helps students greatly in understanding the fundamentals of the material and accelerates the progress, cutting back on the frustrating hours being spent trying to learn it solo. My main strength as a tutor lies in the fact that I'm very patient with students and I can explain the concepts from different angles until it sinks in. I'm a problem solver that likes to break down a concept and explain it as simply as possible. With a unique and individual plan for learning, working on the things you need to cover most, you can best prepare for exams and get through assignments as free from stress as possible.
