Hi, I’m Thomas Moon, the founder of JS Maths. Welcome! As a passionate and dedicated private maths tutor, I specialise in one-on-one, at-home tutoring to help students not only excel academically but also build confidence in their mathematical abilities.

With over two decades of experience, I focus on creating a personalised, supportive learning environment where students can feel comfortable asking questions, overcoming challenges, and truly understanding the material at their own pace. Whether your child needs help catching up or wants to get ahead, I’m here to provide the guidance, coaching, and mentoring they need to succeed.

At JS Maths, my mission is simple: to provide personalised and effective maths tutoring that helps students grow academically and personally. I understand that every student is unique, with their own strengths, challenges, and learning styles. That’s why I tailor my lessons to meet the individual needs of each student, ensuring they get the attention and support they deserve.

I believe that learning should be a positive experience. My approach focuses on building confidence as much as improving maths skills. By creating a relaxed, nurturing environment, I encourage students to ask questions, think critically, and develop a genuine understanding of the subject. I’m not just here to teach maths—I’m here to mentor, coach, and support students on their learning journey.

I began my career with a degree in Economics, followed by working as an IT engineer in South Korea. However, after moving to Australia in 1997, my journey took a new direction. As I settled into life here, I discovered my true passion for education, which led me to open the JS Education Centre (정석수학전문학원) in 2004 in Strathfield Plaza—an area known as a hub for coaching colleges.

At JS Education Centre, I emphasised personalised learning by keeping class sizes small, typically with just 2-3 students. However, most of my classes were even smaller, with just 1-2 students per session. I made this choice despite the lower profit per hour, as I believed that the close, individualised attention would lead to better outcomes for my students. This approach allowed me to focus deeply on each student's unique needs and challenges, ensuring they received the support necessary to succeed.

Unfortunately, after several years of navigating many changes—including the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and shifting educational dynamics—I had to make the difficult decision to close the Strathfield centre. It was a challenging period of adjustment, but this eventually led to the next chapter in my journey. I transitioned into private, in-home tutoring under the name JS Maths in Gordon, where I now live. This move has allowed me to continue my passion for teaching, offering highly personalised tutoring that helps students grow academically while building their confidence and love for learning.

What sets JS Maths apart is the personal, tailored attention each student receives. I keep class sizes micro-small, typically working with just one or two students at a time. This focused, individualised approach allows me to truly understand each student’s needs, strengths, and areas for growth, ensuring they get the maximum benefit from each session.

My experience working with students from migrant families, particularly those with Korean backgrounds, has given me a deep understanding of the unique challenges they face, whether they are adapting to the Australian education system or trying to build confidence in their academic abilities. I offer more than just maths tutoring—I provide mentorship and support, guiding students through these challenges and helping them build the skills and resilience needed to succeed.

At JS Maths, my focus isn’t just on improving academic performance but also on fostering a positive attitude towards learning. I aim to help students develop confidence and a problem-solving mindset that will serve them well, not just in maths, but in life. By creating a supportive, nurturing environment, I make sure that learning is both enjoyable and effective.

If you’re looking for personalised, one-on-one maths tutoring that will help your child excel academically and build confidence, I’d love to hear from you! Whether they need help catching up, preparing for exams, or simply want to strengthen their maths skills, JS Maths is here to provide the support they need.
