About Phu
Hi! My name is Phu, and I’m a Bachelor of Science graduate from the University of Melbourne with an 85+ WAM and a raw 40+ study score in VCE Maths Methods. I’ve completed 1000+ hours of maths tutoring, have a valid Working With Children's Check, and I have been helping students from Year 7 through to Year 12 improve both their results and confidence in maths for many years.
My biggest focus isn’t just improving marks — it’s helping students understand maths properly so they stop feeling overwhelmed and start approaching problems with clarity and confidence. Maths builds quickly, and once gaps form, everything feels harder. My role is to identify those gaps early and fix them properly.
What makes my tutoring different?
I don’t just go through questions — I help students develop the thinking process behind maths. Sessions are structured, targeted, and adapted to the student’s school and learning style.
My approach includes:
- Strong Foundations: Core skills, problem-solving, and mathematical confidence
- Step-by-Step Explanations: Clear logic so students understand why methods work, not just doing them for the sake of it
- Exam Strategy: How to avoid common mistakes and maximize marks efficiently
- Supportive Learning Environment: Students feel comfortable asking questions without pressure
- 24/7 Support and Feedback: Students can contact me outside of tutoring hours, and will receive support in a timely manner
Tutoring Options Available:
- In-person tutoring (Western Suburbs) - 2 hour sessions only **
- Online tutoring
- One-on-one or small group sessions
Rates:
● Years 7–10 Maths: $50/hour (online), $60/hour (in person)
● Years 11–12 Maths Methods: $60/hour (online), $70/hour (in person)
● Group tutoring (2+ students): Discounted rates available — please contact me for details
Whether a student is looking to catch up, consolidate foundations, or push for top results, I tailor each session to suit their needs.
Feel free to reach out to discuss availability and goals for the upcoming term.

My approach to tutoring is focused on clear understanding, strong foundations, and confidence building. I aim to help students understand why mathematical methods work, rather than relying on rote memorisation. By identifying gaps early and addressing them systematically, students become more independent and confident problem-solvers.
I use a step-by-step teaching method that emphasizes logical thinking and clarity. Key techniques include:
- Breaking complex concepts into manageable parts
- Guided practice with increasing difficulty
- Active questioning to check understanding
- Reinforcing key ideas through targeted exam-style questions
- Teaching students how to approach unfamiliar problems methodically
- Practice on CAS calculator efficiency for tests and exams
Most lessons run for 60 minutes, which allows enough time to:
- Review previous content or homework
- Learn or consolidate new concepts
- Practice questions with guided feedback
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
I highly recommend Phu as a tutor. He helped me prepare for my Year 10 exams, and I ended up doing much better than I expected.
He explains things clearly and breaks down difficult topics in a way that’s easy to understand. Thanks to his help, I felt much more confident going into my exams.
I’d definitely recommend Phu to any student looking for a reliable online tutor.View more recommendations
