About Dr Stu
I’m a Mathematics PhD graduate from UNSW who genuinely enjoys helping students feel confident with math. I know how intimidating the subject can be, especially at HSC and university level, so my goal is always to make things clear, manageable, and logical.
I’ve worked with a wide range of students, from those who struggle with the basics to high-achieving Extension and selective-school students aiming for top results. I’m patient, reliable, and focused on helping each student improve in a steady, supportive way.
I take a professional approach to tutoring, with well-prepared lessons and clear communication with both students and parents. Whether you’re preparing for the HSC or tackling university mathematics, I aim to make the learning process far less stressful — and far more rewarding.

My lessons are structured, concept-driven, and focused on building genuine mathematical understanding rather than rote learning. I teach students how to think mathematically — how to break problems down, recognise patterns, and apply ideas across unfamiliar questions — which is essential for HSC Advanced, Extension 1 & 2, and university-level mathematics.
I typically begin by identifying gaps in understanding, then rebuild the underlying concepts using clear explanations, worked examples, and guided problem-solving. As confidence grows, we shift toward exam-style and extension problems to develop speed, accuracy, and problem-solving intuition. I also place strong emphasis on mathematical communication: how to structure solutions clearly and present full-mark responses.
Most lessons run for 60 minutes, although 90-minute sessions are available for senior or university students. Sessions can be online or in-person (Sydney). Students are welcome to bring schoolwork, past papers, or topics they find challenging, and I also provide targeted problem sets when needed.
I am a recent PhD graduate in Mathematics from UNSW. I have over 12 years of experience teaching and tutoring HSC students across a wide range of abilities, from struggling learners to high-achieving extension and selective-school students.

Stuart is an outstanding tutor, a brilliant mathematician who can genuinely teach. He is exceptionally patient and will not stop until the student truly understands the concept, not just the steps. He cares deeply about his students and builds both confidence and competence.
My son worked with Stuart for two years while preparing for the HSC, and the difference was remarkable. Stuart explains maths so clearly and calmly that students not only improve, but actually start to enjoy the subject.View more recommendations
