V's Online Math Tutoring

Who This Is For

• Students using Beast Academy or AoPS

• Curious learners who need more challenge or depth

• Students preparing for math competitions

• Children who are capable—but need help thinking independently

What I Offer

1. Beast Academy & AoPS Coaching

This is not traditional tutoring.

I guide students to:

• Think through problems independently

• Understand concepts deeply (not just follow steps)

• Develop strong reasoning and communication skills

How sessions work:

• Students attempt problems first

• I guide using questions and targeted hints

• We discuss multiple approaches and strategies

• Focus is on how to think, not just what to do

​

2. Competition Math Preparation

I prepare students for:

• MOEMS

• APSMO (Australia)

• AMC 8 / AMC (Australia)

• Math Kangaroo

• UK Maths Challenges (Primary, Junior, Intermediate)

• MathCounts

Focus areas:

• Non-routine problem solving

• Pattern recognition

• Strategy building

• Time management (when needed)

​

3. Enrichment & Challenge Work

For students who need more:

• Curated puzzles and advanced problems

• Structured progression (easy → challenging)

• Exposure to Olympiad-style thinking

​

My Approach

• I don’t give answers—I guide students to discover them

• I prioritise thinking and accuracy over speed

• I encourage productive struggle

• I step in before frustration becomes discouragement

The goal is simple:

To build confident, independent learners who can tackle unfamiliar problems.

​

Why This Works

Most students are used to being shown how to solve problems.

But programs like Beast Academy and AoPS are designed differently—they require students to:

• Explore

• Question

• Think deeply

My role is to help them transition from:

• “Tell me how to do it”
  to

• “Let me figure this out”

​

Experience

• 10+ years teaching AoPS curriculum

• 7+ years working with Beast Academy

• Extensive experience coaching students for math competitions

This allows me to know exactly when to:

• Step back and let students think

• Step in and guide them forward

Student Success Stories

From Low Motivation to National-Level Achievement

Zayed began with me at Beast Academy Level 3. While he was a bright student, staying motivated to practice math was a challenge.

Through a structured, thinking-focused approach, we worked on building both his confidence and engagement. Over time, this shift was noticeable not just at home, but also in school.

As his parent shared:
“My son is bright, but getting him motivated to practice Maths was difficult, like many children. Since starting with Ms Vasudha, there has been a significant improvement in his motivation as well as performance, which his school teachers have noted.”

Zayed has since gone on to perform strongly in multiple math competitions and qualified for the Cayley Olympiad after clearing the Intermediate Maths Challenge—placing him among a very small group selected from hundreds of thousands of students.

​

From Rushing Through Problems to Structured Thinking

Kaavya started with me at Beast Academy Level 2. She was capable, but struggled with focus and consistency. She would often rush through problems, avoid showing her work, and provide multiple quick answers without fully considering them.

We worked on slowing down her process, building clarity in her reasoning, and developing the habit of structured problem-solving.

Today, she has progressed to AoPS Pre-Algebra and demonstrates a much stronger, more disciplined approach to math.

Her results reflect this transformation:

• Consistent distinctions in AMC (Australia) being in the top 10%

• Accepted into Rossmoyne Senior High School’s specialist mathematics program—one of the top programs in Western Australia, with only 7 students selected from over 500 applicants

These stories reflect what I focus on most: not just improving performance, but fundamentally changing how students think, approach problems, and engage with math.

​

Long-Term Growth, Acceleration, and Exceptional Results

Poshya began working with me in Grade 3, starting with Beast Academy Level 3.

Over the 2.5 years, she has shown remarkable growth, progressing through:

• Beast Academy Levels 3, 4, and 5

• AoPS Prealgebra

• AoPS Algebra A

• Currently working on AoPS Geometry

What stands out is not just her acceleration, but her ability to apply her learning in competitive settings.

• Participated in middle school competitions as early as Grade 4 and scored the highest.

• Placed 1st in her school while competing with older students

• Achieved Honour Roll in AMC 8

• Scored a perfect score in Math Kangaroo

​

Outcome

Students I work with:

• Become independent problem solvers

• Build confidence in tackling difficult problems

• Develop a genuine interest in math

• Are well-prepared for competitive math environments

Final Note for Parents

If your goal is:
✔ Better scores → this will help
But if your goal is:
✔ Strong thinking skills
✔ Confidence with challenging problems
✔ Long-term mathematical growth

Then this approach is exactly what your child needs.
