My daughter Nina attended Master Coaching selective high school classes at Hurstville once a wekk during 2008 & 2009.

She gained an excellent mark of 225 and this year enrolled at Caringbah High School which was her first choice.

We would like to thank the excellent teaching of Dianne and Harry’s assistance during the time Nina attended Master Coaching. The lessons helped her to excel in and understand and think through her school work at a higher level. This along with the teaching she gained at her primary school helped her to achieve her entrance score. She enjoyed her lessons at Master Coaching and was never over burdened by excessive homework.

Catie got 221 in the Selective School Exam. She got accepted to Caringbah High which was her first choice. Thanks for the coaching – I feel confident it helped her a lot. Diane was very diligent in the way she covered the syllabus over the 12 month coaching period.

Thanks for helping me achieve beyond my expectations in HSC Chemistry. I thought I’d try coaching classes after being disappointed with my half yearly rank (10th) as I wanted to gain the best possible outcome in the course and was struggling with the more challenging areas of the course.

Having a tutor enabled me to concentrate on areas I found difficult so I was able to improve my overall rank to 4th by the end of the year. I approached the HSC exam with confidence of knowing that I’d done everything I could do to achieve my best possible results. I was overjoyed to achieve a Band 6 (a score of 92), which was even higher than I hoped.

Other students at my school have asked for the key to my success and I’ve recommended they see you at Master Coaching. Thanks again for all your help. My only regret is not coming to see you sooner.

My son Zac began tutoring at Master Coaching with Harry in 2005 in preparation for selective high school. During that time he enjoyed attending his lessons every week as his tutor Dianne provided a challenging and enjoyable lesson with a realistic and professional approach. Harry is a man who enjoys what he does. It’s not a job to him when he makes students achieve, but instead it becomes his passion. The enthusiasm and dedication provided by Harry and his staff is endless. We were ecstatic with the results achieved by Zac this year as he gained an interview for a scholarship at Trinity Boys Grammar, a scholarship to Newington High School and was given an offer to a selective high school as well. I am so pleased with Harry and Master Coaching that I am now sending my older son in year 11 & 12.

After just three months with Harry I have achieved beyond my expectations. Deciding to embark on the journey of 3 unit maths 8 weeks behind was a risky decision, and my teachers, my parents and I had doubts. Only Harry was, not only optimistic, but confident of a turnaround. He exclaimed “John if you don’t pass 3 unit I will close this place down!”

His words of wisdom were my virtue and his determination inspired me to achieve. He constantly reminded me of my potential and my ability in mathematics which boosted my confidence. In my most recent assessment I came 2nd in my class blitzing the average by over 40%, I owe it to Harry as he motivated me to be where I am today and still reminds me not to become complacent. I have no hesitation in recommending Harry strongly to anyone in struggle or wishing to improve their skills in mathematics.

A normal mathematics teacher would be perceived as a boring person with no sense of humour; Harry is very different in this category. He makes learning fun and makes your goal his goal. He is able to push you to challenge yourself but does so in a relaxed personal manner. You feel as though he is your friend and he genuinely wants you to succeed.

My daughter attended Harry’s Master Coaching for 12 months in order to help her gain confidence for the selective test. I was very pleased with Harry’s staff. Both Dianne and Jim were extremely friendly and professional people who made each lesson comprehendible and fun.

Harry and his team are to be commended for their enthusiasm, dedication and professionalism towards the students and their parents.

We were delighted when our daughter was able to gain a placement at our chosen selective high school. I have no hesitation in recommending Harry and his team for any coaching. Well done Harry and thank you.

I have been going to Master Coaching for Chemistry and Math throughout Year 11. Harry (who teaches Chemistry) and Thomas (who teaches Math) are extremely professional and enthusiastic in their teaching.

School may sometimes rush delivering information which complicates topics and often leaves a student confused. However, Harry and Thomas, who are very knowledgeable in their subjects have the ability to simplify difficult concepts so that they are easier to understand and this has immensely boosted my confidence as I head into Year 12. Their high standard of teaching has allowed me to be ahead of my class and provided more time for revision, which is the key to success in exams. 

Thanks, Thomas and Harry for all your help and I am looking forward to learning more.

From KJ Thakur

Throughout school my maths grades have not been anything spectacular, so as the HSC year drew closer and closer, I decided it was time to find a tutor. My parents and I tried various other well-known coaching branches, but we felt that their approach did not tackle problem areas of weaknesses head on. Often they were more worried about their business than the education of their students.

We looked to the internet, and there we found Master Coaching, run by Harry. I was sceptical at first; since at other major branches I was not able to find the right tutor for me, I doubted that such a small business would be able to do anything for me.

After a few maths lessons with Harry, I quickly let go of my doubts. The progressive lessons, combined with Harry’s extensive knowledge of the HSC 12 2U Mathematics course enabled me to feel more at ease when tackling maths problems for homework as well as during assessments.

Come HSC, I felt well prepared. I sat the examination, and my efforts were rewarded with a band 6 in mathematics. With the help of Harry at Master Coaching, I was able to achieve a rank I felt was a long way out of my reach. Harry, I can’t thank you enough.
