# Thread: 4U Mathematics 1st in the State | HSC Maths Tutor

1. ## 4U Mathematics 1st in the State | HSC Maths Tutor

I graduated from North Sydney Boys' High School in 2015 and study combined Actuarial Studies with Advanced Mathematics at UNSW. I am offering tutoring for:

Year 7-10 Mathematics
Preliminary General/2U/3U Mathematics
HSC General/2U/3U/4U Mathematics.

Over the years I have developed techniques to approach exams in general, as well as specific questions, especially for the HSC. I have also independently gathered a variety of resources, of which I will share with you. I believe with these techniques and resources, I will be able to help you maximise your potential and reach your goals.

Credentials:
-Over 1500 hours experience between Years 5 and 12.
-Mathematics Ext 2: HSC Mark 100 (1st in State)
-Mathematics Ext 1: HSC Mark 100
-Prize in Australian Mathematics Competition
-Medal in ICAS Mathematics Competition
-High Distinction in the UNSW School Mathematics Competition
-UNSW Award for Best Student in Mathematics Extension 1 and 2.

Location: At my home (in Westmead).

First in state in 4 Unit is just beast. Nothing else to say!

thank you ^

Hi

May I ask but what was the "secret" to getting a state rank?

7. ## Re: 4U Mathematics 1st in the State | 99.15 ATAR | HSC Maths and Physics Tutor

Pretty explanatory that he would do actuarial studies with the rank in 4 unit

Not sure about any secrets, but a good strategy that I used was to keep a pocket notebook. Any questions that I was unable to do, I would write them in there. Then I would study those questions and the relevant theory behind them. Hope that helped.

Haha thanks

Questions that you were unable to do? Would you mind showing us an example of such a question which conquered the First in State for 4U himself?

Plot twist: his notebook was always empty

Well this is an example in the book from early Year 12.
$a. Show that \dfrac{d}{dx} (\tan^{-1}x + \tan^{-1}\dfrac{1}{x})= 0$
$b. Hence sketch the graph f(x) = \tan^{-1}x + \tan^{-1}\dfrac{1}{x}$

IIRC, that's a 3u question from the inverse trig exercise in Cambridge, right?

14. ## Re: 4U Mathematics 1st in the State | 99.15 ATAR | HSC Maths and Physics Tutor

there is variation in Chapter 2 i believe, although I'm quite sure I encountered this question from a past paper

Yes, as it says in the original post.

InteGrand is like the wise father of the forum

20. ## Re: 4U Mathematics 1st in the State | 99.15 ATAR | HSC Maths and Physics Tutor

It's supposed to a joke, cuz the Sydney morning herald article published Rishi as attending SBHS instead of NSBHS. I can't find the original SMH article anymore, but the same article "Public beats private in HSC firsts" was published in "The Australian".
