The Most Powerful Subject in the WACE System
Specialist Mathematics is taken alongside Maths Methods and scales more highly than almost any other WACE subject. For students targeting the top ATARs — and the university courses that require them — Specialist Maths is the single most impactful subject choice they can make. It is also, by a significant margin, the most difficult.
This is precisely why one-on-one tutoring matters so much for Specialist Maths. The content moves fast, builds relentlessly on prior knowledge, and requires a level of mathematical maturity that takes time and guided practice to develop. A Perth Specialist Maths tutor who has genuinely excelled in the subject is not just helpful — for many students, they are essential.
Students who study Specialist Maths and achieve strong results often see ATAR boosts that simply are not possible through any other subject combination. It is the highest-yield choice available in the WA system for mathematically capable students.
Topics Our Perth Specialist Maths Tutors Cover
- Unit 1: Combinatorics and proof — mathematical induction, counting techniques, and the foundations of rigorous mathematical argument
- Unit 2: Vectors and complex numbers — vector operations in 2D and 3D, and the complex number system including polar form and De Moivre's theorem
- Unit 3: Integration techniques — integration by parts, partial fractions, and their applications to differential equations
- Unit 4: Differential equations, kinematics and statistical inference — including first and second order DEs and hypothesis testing
- Proof and reasoning: Writing rigorous mathematical arguments — a skill tested throughout the course and in the external exam
- Exam strategy: Calculator-free and calculator-assumed sections, time management, and mark-maximising technique
Who Should Study Specialist Maths?
Specialist Maths is suited to students who genuinely enjoy mathematics and are aiming for a high ATAR to access competitive university courses such as engineering, actuarial science, computer science, medicine or mathematics itself. It must be studied alongside WACE Maths Methods. We also have a dedicated Maths Methods tutoring page — many of our students take both concurrently.
