Ian Harborne, Co - Founder & Head Maths Tutor

I am an experienced Mathematics teacher, following on from 20 years as a mechanical engineer. I believe my industry experience provides a great opportunity to teach and explain the real world practicalities of mathematics to students particularly moving into technical roles within engineering, business, data and trades where mathematics are a prerequisite. As a teacher of mathematics I see the speed through which schools move through the content and this can sometimes be overwhelming for the students. Therefore to have a tutor assisting you with a further explanation in relatable terms is a valuable resource. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, watching and playing sports, going to the beach and playing guitar. I look forward to assisting you!

Nick Ekin, Co - Founder & Head Maths Tutor

I am a qualified high school Mathematics teacher, working in the Catholic Education system. I have spent many years tutoring students in Mathematics and thoroughly enjoy watching my students grow as mathematicians and individuals. I have a passion for teaching mathematics and where possible, embed real world applications, to spark curiosity in my students. This is predominantly fuelled by my experience in the building industry as an electrical apprentice and time spent tiling with my father. My current goal in life is to pursue a career in building student confidence and enhancing their mathematical ability. In my spare time I enjoy working on my cars, fishing and playing sport. I look forward to assisting you!

Ben Harborne, Website Developer & Media Manager

I am a second year student at the University of Newcastle currently completing a Bachelors of Business. I have always had a passion for business and innovation and MindPath has allowed me to create something that is authentic and make it easier for you to learn more about our services. I believe tutoring fills a hole within education as the classroom environment is not for everyone and can presents roadblocks to children chasing their learning goals. Our friendly team places an emphasis on empowering growth within students through effective goal-setting and perseverance when challenges arise. I believe this mindset leads to success in the classroom and in life. In my spare time I enjoy hanging with family and friends, going to the gym, playing cricket, basketball and going to the beach. I look forward to assisting you!
