Sim Mautner | Founder & Lead Mentor, Vector Academic
I am passionate about mathematics and find satisfaction in helping students grasp complex new concepts. With a background in high-level academics and over a decade of teaching experience at the University of New South Wales, I founded Vector Academic to provide high-quality, personalised academic support that meets students where they are whether they are tackling the HSC or exploring a self-directed homeschooling journey.
Academic Background & Experience
My approach is grounded in a strong technical foundation and years of formal teaching at the university level:
Academic Credentials: I hold a Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours) and Mathematics from UNSW.
Teaching Experience: Between 2008 and 2026, I served as a university tutor and lecturer for Computer Science at UNSW.
HSC Expertise: I have provided private mathematics tutoring since 2007 and previously ran intensive workshops specifically designed to introduce students to the Extension 2 Mathematics curriculum.
Professional Qualifications: I hold a Cert IV in Training and Assessment.
Specialised HSC Mathematics Tutoring (Years 11–12)
For senior students, I focus on bridging the gap between current knowledge and exam mastery through a highly supportive pedagogical lens:
Why I Do More Than Just "Homework Help": I don't just provide answers to get homework out of the way. If a student is stuck, I dissect what they know to locate the exact gaps in their understanding, build up their foundations, and empower them to re-attempt the task successfully. If they already understand the homework perfectly, we move straight into high-yield extension material and advanced topics to keep them ahead of the curve—often pulling from advanced textbooks such as the Cambridge Mathematics series to stretch their capabilities.
Seamless Online Delivery: For remote sessions, I utilise Zoom and iPad screen-sharing (via Notability) so students can see my face, hands, and live writing simultaneously. Students are encouraged to take screenshots and recordings for their own revision.
