From Artin Year 7 to a 99.95 ATAR
Christopher Lim came to Artin in Year 7. He left with a raw 50 in Maths Methods, a Premier's Award, and a 99.95 ATAR (Scotch College).
He's one of many. Our system is how we get students there.

— Chanelle Cai, Former StudentFrequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
$80/week for two hours of small-group classes. All testing sessions, exam materials, and outside-of-class tutor support included at no extra cost. Compare that to 1-on-1 tutors who charge $120+/hr without any of the tests, recordings, or materials we include.
Where and when are classes?
Weekly at our Glen Waverley campus (Level 1, 24-26 Kingsway) or live on Zoom. Every class is recorded. Your choice each week.
What happens after I submit this form?
We'll be in touch within 2 hours. We'll discuss your situation, answer any questions, and if it's a good fit, book you into a free trial class.
Who teaches the classes?
Most classes are taught by Ming Lian (raw 48 MM, 50 SM, 10+ years, contributor to Cambridge University Press). Ming scored a raw 50 in Specialist Maths himself. Some classes by Christopher Lim (50 MM + Premier's Award, 99.95 ATAR).
Can I do Methods and Specialist together?
Yes. Many of our students study both Methods and Specialist with us. The subjects complement each other, and doing both builds stronger mathematical intuition. We offer classes for both subjects.
How Our System Works
You learn the content before school covers it. You get tested on it every week. You get your mistakes back fast so you fix them before your SAC.
01 Weekly Classes
2-hour sessions ahead of school. Walk into class already knowing the content. Proactive, not reactive.
02 Weekly Testing
Tests almost every week under timed conditions. We find your gaps before your school does.
Rapid Feedback
Fast, clear feedback so you fix mistakes before they cost you marks at school.
Specialist Maths Doesn't Reward Effort. It Rewards Depth.
You're putting in the hours. You're re-reading the notes. You're grinding through textbook questions. And your score still doesn't reflect how hard you're working. That's not a you problem — it's a depth problem.
- Proofs and abstract reasoning feel like a foreign language
- Vectors and complex numbers make sense in class but fall apart under exam conditions
- School moves too fast — there's no time to build genuine understanding
- You understood Methods fine, but Specialist is a completely different beast
- Confidence is dropping — and that makes everything harder
- You're doing both Methods and Specialist, and the workload is crushing
Struggling with proofs & vectors?
You have the ability. You're missing the framework. Our approach builds the abstract reasoning skills that make proofs click — not just memorised templates.
Already at 35+ and pushing for 45+?
The difference between 35 and 45+ isn't more study. It's precision. We sharpen your differential equations, your complex number fluency, and the edge cases that separate good from elite.
Doing both Methods & Specialist?
The workload is real, but the overlap is your advantage. We teach both subjects with an integrated approach that makes the combined load manageable — and builds deeper mathematical intuition.
Results that speak for themselves.

Not Your Average Tutoring Centre
We Teach to Understand, Not Memorise
Students preview content before school covers it — but we don't teach to memorise and repeat. We teach so your child genuinely understands the concepts.
Weekly Testing & Feedback
We test and give feedback every single week. Other centres run an end-of-term test to satisfy parents. We run ours to help students desensitise to exams and actually improve.
Same Tutor, Every Week
We don't cycle between tutors. Your child works with the same expert every session. We know every student by name, not by seat number.
Parents Stay in the Loop
Most tutoring centres give parents minimal feedback — or none at all. We provide regular progress updates so you always know where your child stands and what they're working on.
Everything Included, No Upsells
All materials, class recordings, and direct tutor access outside of class. Many centres charge extra fees or upsell you — we give you everything you need without the fluff.
Boutique, Not a Factory
We're not a commercialised, large-scale tutoring chain. We're a small, focused team that prioritises quality over volume. That's how we maintain the results we do.
Try a Class. If It's Not Right, You Pay Nothing.
We don't lock you into contracts. We don't ask for credit card details upfront. Come to a class, experience the system firsthand, and decide if it's the right fit.
If it's not? No charge. No awkward follow-up calls. No obligation whatsoever.
Why do we offer this? Because we know what happens when students experience our system. They stay. 9 perfect maths scores since 2021 didn't happen by accident.

More About the Program
Can I join mid-year?
Yes. We'll run a diagnostic to find your gaps. You can start at any point. We've had students achieve great results after joining mid-way through the year.
How is this different from other tutoring centres?
We teach ahead of school, test weekly, and build real problem-solving depth. Whether you need to catch up, keep up, or get ahead — the system works because it gives you structure that school can’t.
My child is already getting good marks. Why would they need this?
Good marks don’t always mean strong foundations. The gap between a 35 and a 45+ in Specialist isn’t more study — it’s precision, depth, and exam fluency. We build all three.
What actually happens in a typical session?
Each session teaches new content ahead of school, works through key questions, and builds exam-style thinking. Students also do weekly tests, get recordings, all materials, and direct tutor access between classes.
