At Sum^It Education, we’re passionate about helping Wollongong students succeed in maths. With personalised support, expert teaching, and proven programs, we give every learner the tools and confidence to achieve their goals.
Our mission is simple: to help students build confidence, strengthen their mathematical foundations, and achieve long-term success. Every learner is different, so we tailor our tutoring to meet their unique needs.
With over 20 years as a qualified maths teacher, we bring classroom expertise and personal attention together. Whether in small groups or one-on-one lessons, students get the focused guidance they need.
We offer flexible formats: small group sessions and personalised one-on-one tutoring. Each approach is designed to help students catch up, consolidate, or extend their skills.
Our core programs include Small Group Sessions, Individual Tutoring, and the “Get Ahead, Stay Ahead” Year 11 Program starting in Term 4 of Year 10 to prepare students for senior school success.

At the heart of Sum^It Education is Shane Rodgers, a qualified mathematics teacher with over 20 years of classroom and tutoring experience. Unlike many tutoring services that rely on university students or casual tutors, Sum^It Education is led by a professional educator who understands the NSW curriculum, assessment standards, and the challenges local students face at every level.

We begin by understanding where each student is academically and emotionally. Lessons are designed to close gaps while building on strengths, ensuring each learner feels progress is possible and measurable.


Students learn best when they feel safe to make mistakes and ask questions. We create an environment where challenges are encouraged and setbacks are reframed as opportunities for growth.
We don’t just push through new content—we ensure students master the basics first. Strong foundations make advanced topics less intimidating and far more manageable over time.

Our goal is to help students become independent thinkers. By teaching problem-solving strategies and breaking down complex concepts, we help students approach maths with confidence long after the tutoring session ends.
We believe maths doesn’t have to be confusing. Through structured explanations and step-by-step guidance, we give students the clarity they need to finally “get it.”
By encouraging progress and celebrating effort, we help students build the confidence they need to approach maths with a positive mindset.
We teach students that success isn’t about being “naturally good” at maths—it’s about consistent effort. With the right support, every student can improve.
Our focus is long-term development. Whether a student needs to catch up, keep pace, or get ahead, we nurture growth in both ability and resilience.
At the heart of Sum^It Education is the belief in achievement through effort. We know that improvement doesn’t happen overnight, but with consistent guidance and persistence, every student can make progress. More than improved marks, we aim to instill resilience, clarity, and a love of learning that benefits students across every subject and stage of life.
