How it works

Getting started is easy

No sign-up packages and no pressure. We start with a conversation and go from there.

1

A free chat

We talk about where your child is at, which subjects are giving them trouble, and what they're aiming for.

2

The first session

I work out where the gaps are, whether it's a topic, exam technique or just confidence, and we make a plan together.

3

Regular sessions

We work through the plan around their school assessment, and I keep you updated on how they're going.

Subjects

What I tutor

Senior subjects where understanding the ideas matters more than memorising steps.

Maths

Methods · Specialist · General

The subject I'm asked about most. Whether it's filling in gaps from Year 10 or tackling the hardest Specialist questions, we go at the pace your child needs.

Sciences

Physics · Chemistry · Biology

Senior science needs both the concepts and the exam skills. I'm strongest in Physics and Chemistry, which are great for students heading toward STEM.

Economics

Units 3 & 4

I study economics at uni, so I can link the theory to what's happening in the real world and help students write clear, well-structured exam answers.

In a session

Every session is built around your child

There's no set program. Before we start, I want to understand where your child is, what's holding them back and what they want to achieve.

Sessions are focused but relaxed. Students should feel comfortable asking the "silly" questions, because that's usually where the breakthrough is. As the term goes on, I adjust what we cover and keep you in the loop.

Sessions run in person across Brisbane's northside, or online via Zoom if that's easier for your family.

What parents say

"Ben has been a fantastic tutor to our son. He has a great way of explaining things simply and at a level that makes sense to him. We've seen a real improvement in both his understanding and confidence since working with Ben. He is patient, reliable and always generous with his time. Most importantly, he genuinely cares about the students he works with. We are really grateful for all his help and couldn't recommend him more highly."
Kate and Brian, Ashgrove
"Ben has been a good support for my son with Maths Methods, helping him better understand the work, revise key concepts and identify areas that need more attention. He has also offered helpful advice about further study after school. Ben is friendly, approachable and easy to communicate with, and gives me feedback about how my son is going. I'd happily recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable tutor."

About me

A tutor who was in their shoes not long ago

I finished at Marist College Ashgrove in 2023 with a 99.25 ATAR, so I know exactly what senior school feels like right now: the internal assessments, the exam pressure, and how quickly a subject can get away from you.

I'm now studying a Bachelor of Advanced Finance and Economics (Honours) at UQ. I've also coached junior soccer and tutor second-year students at my college. The best part of tutoring is when a topic that's been frustrating someone for weeks finally clicks.

I tutor boys and girls from state and private schools across the northside, and every student gets the same attention whether they're chasing a top ATAR or just want to feel less stressed about maths.
