Specialist Maths tutor
in Darwin.
Specialist Mathematics is the hardest maths subject in SACE, and the one with the biggest ATAR scaling. Our Darwin Specialist classes are taught by Dave Mathews Cherian, who earned a SACE Merit in Specialist Mathematics, and they're timed to work alongside Methods so the two subjects reinforce each other.

Sound familiar?
Where Specialist students lose marks.
- Proofs by induction that feel impossible to start
- Complex numbers and loci in the complex plane
- 3D vectors, lines and planes
- Integration techniques under exam time pressure
Every one of these is covered in our Specialist Mathematics program with step-by-step teaching, hundreds of practice questions and marked Checkpoint Tests, so problems get fixed before the SAC, not after it.
