My name’s Uday!
Hi, I’m Uday, your dedicated maths methods tutor at VCE Vanguard. In 2022, I graduated as the state Dux of Maths Methods, scoring a perfect raw 50 and receiving the Premier’s Award, without losing a single mark on SACs or exams. But my journey wasn’t always smooth sailing. I started as a B+ student in maths.
Through thousands of practice questions, mastering CAS, and honing my study techniques, I was able to transform my performance, and now I want to help you do the same.
And so, allow us to introduce ourselves

Methods Tips & Traps
Finish the syllabus by early September: This leaves 8+ weeks for targeted exam prep.
Double-check your answers: Simple mistakes can mean you’re losing 3 to 5 marks per SAC because of simple mistakes you’re not catching.
Master CAS syntax: Wrong input = lost marks, even with the correct logic. Check out the biggest ones here.
Bound reference efficiency: Tab sections, use colour coding, and keep a last-minute lookup page.
CAS to double-check: For multiple-choice questions, make sure you use CAS to check after your initial work.
Mini Module Exam Enhancement
If you want to stay a cut above, these special two-hour methods tutoring sessions are designed to sharpen your performance in the final stretch.
By combining review with fresh, exam-style questions, you’ll leave each session knowing exactly how to handle similar problems under timed conditions.
Targeted Exam Review
Hour 1
We break down the most challenging parts of recent VCAA exams – the ones that trip up even strong students. Expect me to highlight subtle CAS syntax issues, common probability misreads, and the “trap” parts of multi-step calculus problems. You’ll get keyword lists, marking notes, and exact wording examiners look for.
Specialist Practice Sets
Hour 2
A 30-minute block where you attempt a set of my custom-written exam questions, more than you can finish in time, so the rest becomes homework. These are designed to mimic the pacing, structure, and difficulty of actual VCAA papers. The final 30 minutes are a detailed review where we refine solutions, explore alternate approaches, and develop time-saving CAS strategies.

Trust the results, not just our word.
Literally one of the best tutors I’ve had. I went from failing chem back in year 11, D+ on final exam, to improving to a much higher level which I didn’t think was possible for me to achieve in year 12 with four other subjects. Your passion and dedication for chem and your students inspired me to try so much harder in year 12 chem. Thank you for everything Anish. Highly recommend his tutoring to future students.
Amaan Fawazdeen 99.70
I!] highly recommend Anish’s SAC workshops for chemistry. I went to the first SAC workshop for chem and I found it really useful to clear up any misunderstandings I had, find out good ways to phrase questions [and] write good answers. I also thought the resources he gave were quite useful and the explanations were quite in-depth. l’d highly recommend the chem sac workshops for any student looking to get ahead or looking to just fix up fundamentals before the SAC
Rohan Green 99.95
Hi Uday, just wanted to say that all your help this year, both in class and out of class consults and fully explaining questions was extremely beneficial. Tuition was more than worth it – your way of explaining concepts sticks in my brain and helped with SACs and this exam.
Amna Rahim 99.70
This year I went to Vanguard’s SAC workshops for chem and what really impressed me was Anish’s familiarity with the content. Anish will guide you through exactly what you need to know and how you need to say it in order to do well. I can’t really recommend anyone other than Anish and Vanguard for chemistry and I’m sure you’ll be in really really good hands!
Patrick Phan 99.95
Uday was exceptional when assisting me for methods SAC preparation this year. He not only was knowledgeable in answering my never-ending questions and providing conceptual understanding for potential tricky questions, but also showed quick ways of doing calculations on the CAS. Uday is also one of the most generous people I have ever met, not hesitating to go < extremely overtime to make sure l was as prepared for my SACs as possible.
