Specialist Mathematics

Back to all subjects

Please bring a calculator to each session.

We do more than revise key theory and solve past exam questions.
Each session also includes:
• finer points of exam preparation
• how to decode unusual exam questions
• how to answer questions to the marker’s requirements for maximum marks.

Teacher in charge: Paul Urban

Paul is a highly successful senior Mathematics teacher with more than 30 years’ experience including as a marker for SACE and, more recently, IB Diploma Maths. He will focus you quickly and clearly, with room for personal discussion.

Qualifications: B.Sc. (Hons.), B.Ec.

Session A – Functions & sketching graphs
