What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoyed seeing students more confident to step out of their comfort zones to tackle more challenging problems and take the time to understand deeper insights behind each concept.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
My strength as a tutor is incorporating educational technology to create engaging and interactive lessons for Primary 3-6 students. I also have experience teaching IB, AP, and competition mathematics in high school math clubs (2023-2025), which helps me understand how to explain challenging concepts clearly.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is give students space and time to develop their own way of thinking, rather than forcing them to follow a strict curriculum or systematic approach. This helps them build independent problem-solving skills and a deeper understanding of concepts.Subjects Tutored 🎓

About Tu Thien
Primary and Competition Maths Specialist
My name is Kane, and I’m studying Electrical Engineering (Honours) at the University of Sydney. I have experience teaching maths to primary school students and coaching high school students for national-level maths olympiads. I enjoy helping students understand concepts clearly and build confidence in their learning.
Student Leader with Proven Teaching Experience
As president of his school’s maths club, Tu Thien prepared and taught weekly lessons covering competition-level topics and advanced school curricula. He regularly used tools like Kahoot and Jeopardy-style games to turn challenging concepts into something enjoyable and memorable. He has also been recognised as the top student in mathematics at his school over several years, so he knows what high achievement looks like and how to guide others towards it. Parents can expect structured explanations, targeted practice and clear strategies for improvement.
Tech-Savvy, Organised and Relatable Tutor
Currently studying electrical engineering, this tutor brings strong problem-solving skills and a practical approach to learning. He has built a student competition portal that lets thousands of students easily access their results and certificates, showing his ability to create efficient, student-friendly systems. In lessons, he draws on this technical background to explain why methods work, not just how, and to introduce simple digital tools that make practice more engaging. As a recent high-achieving student himself, he relates well to both primary and high school learners.
