Proven Shrikar mixes passion, charisma and a really good understand of the syllabus. Highly recommend his tutoring. Over a few months I've gone from the bottom of the class to the top of the classCho Newman, Rooty Hill
Year 3 student Sidney worked on recognising and ordering three-digit numbers, skip counting by twos, threes, and fives using number charts, and identifying the value of Australian coins through hands-on money activities.
Year 10 student Jessica tackled simplifying surds and converting between index form and surd form, then expanded her skills to include rationalising denominators in algebraic expressions.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ryan focused on consumer arithmetic—specifically calculating compound interest and monthly repayments—as well as applying formulas for simple interest in real-world contexts.
A Year 3 student sometimes rushed into answering maths questions before fully reading instructions, such as confusing the minute hand position when telling time or mixing up number sequences.
As one tutor put it, "she was eager to step in and get the answer, but didn't always check what the question wanted."
In senior years, a Year 11 student repeatedly relied on practicing familiar surds problems instead of tackling harder exam-style questions; this led to less confidence with unfamiliar formats during revision.
When content wasn't fully reviewed or practiced, knowledge gaps lingered right before tests.
One Whalan tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to get stuck simplifying surds; now, after some targeted practice, she can convert between surd and power form and even rationalise denominators without prompting.
Another high school student, previously hesitant with expanding brackets, surprised the tutor by gaining speed and choosing more challenging examples on her own.
Meanwhile, Sidney in Year 2 moved from needing counting charts for decade counting to confidently spotting number patterns solo within just one session—she even tackled Stage 2 test questions that were originally planned for older students.
