MaffsGuru Website

Why choose MaffsGuru?

I hate talking about myself.
So, here are some of the amazing comments I receive about the videos and content I produce followed by reasons to use the resource:

VCAA exam questions

VCE lessons, where possible, include the use of past VCAA exam questions to demonstrate how the theory ties into the practice. VCAA and MaffsGuru.com working well together.

Professional Development

This resource isn't just meant for students. I hope it will be useful for teachers both new and old. If you've never taught a subject before, let me help you develop your craft.

Downloadable notes

Every lesson has downloadable notes. Whatever I write on the screen, you can download for your summary book. VCE summary notes for exams will also come soon.

Respected Presenter

I currently present for Cambridge University Press and Nelson - as well as produce my own content for MaffsGuru.com. Hundreds of very nice comments on YouTube regularly embarass me and suggest I might be doing something right!

Worked examples

Cambridge have allowed me to use their worked examples in each of my videos. These examples are tried and tested and drive success.

Theory explained simply

Maths has too much jargon and confuses when it doesn't need to. I break down my lessons and present them in an easy to understand way - with humour where I can.

VCAA exam solutions

I have full worked solutions for an ever increasing number of past VCAA exams. I work through each question tying the solution into the theory.

Mapped against Cambridge

As the market leader, I am so happy to have the chance to map the content I produce to the Cambridge textbooks from Years 7 to 12.

Lessons with personality

Maths doesn't have to be boring. Humour doesn't have to detract from the complexity of the subject. I teach to ensure high success rates but with humour.

Flip or use it for Extras

Each lesson is a complete theory lesson you can use to flip your classroom or set as an extra if you are away. Also good when a student is absent!

Great value for money

I only wish to cover the costs of production. I'm not here to take money from budgets which should be spent elsewhere. Check my pricing to see how inexpensive the resource is.

Proven presenter

I am so lucky to have worked with Cambridge University Press to record their video walk-throughs (QLD and NSW) and even more excited to now work with Nelson where I present their VCE question analysis sections across their whole VCE textbook series. Oh. And of course I once worked for Edrolo ...

Worked examples

Worked examples come courtesy of my own brain and Cambridge University Press' excellent books. I show all step by step working out which is needed for lesson and exam success. The notes are even downloadable! Every lesson has easy to understand notes and annotations.

Lessons with personality

I simply can't do it. I can't teach maths in a boring way. My lessons are designed to educate and entertain at the same time. Bad puns and Dad jokes aside, I do all I can to remove the smoke and mirrors and make maths understandable. Maths doesn't need to be dull and boring but it can still be complex.

VCAA Exam Solutions

Exam solutions for both whole VCAA papers with the ability to view a single questions. Prepare for your trial exams and end of year exams. Video solutions to VCAA examinations are being added all the time. Each solution has the theory explained so you will know why the answers are correct. This is a premium feature which may require a subscription to give full access.

Mapped against Cambridge

Cambridge have given me permission to map and use their worked examples.

Great textbook ... Great examples. The market leading textbook publishers have given me permission to use their examples as part of my videos. Follow along with the market leading and world class textbooks. Each video is mapped against a chapter and sub chapter of the relevant Cambridge book. Ideal for teachers and students alike. Resources are being developed for all years levels.

Lesson
Notes

Everything I write you can download

It's important to have good notes and I do all I can to help you have a summary book which helps. Each video has the the annotations I make all over the slides packaged up in a nice PDF so you can download them and create the perfect summary. Please note: Some videos require you to take out a subscription to be able to download the notes.

Flip it or
set it as extras

Trust that your students are being taught when you're not in the classroom.

Many substitute teachers are not Maths trained. Why take the chance? When you are away, or the students are away, set them a full lesson. Good theory. Lots of worked examples. Return to the classroom confident that you can carry on as if you were there.

Great PD
