Tutor Profiles
David Wu (Director & Principal Tutor)
I began tutoring in 1999 as part of a homework help program for underprivileged students in Springvale. During this volunteer experience, I discovered my passion for teaching and sharing knowledge.
Since then, I have provided high-quality tutoring to students from Prep to Year 12 across subjects including English, Physics, and Mathematics.
I have been continuously tutoring the VCE Maths Methods course since 1999, making me highly familiar with the program—Maths Methods remains my flagship subject.
From 2008 to 2010, I managed and directed a tutoring centre in Blackburn under a multinational franchise. In 2011, my partner, Vivien, and I moved to Rowville and founded DW Tuition. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing chess and going on hikes with my family.
Rachel Saltum
I have been tutoring with DW Tuition since 2020, supporting students in Mathematics across primary, secondary and VCE levels. Biology is my favourite subject to teach.
I hold a Bachelor of Science (Honours) and am currently studying a Master of Biostatistics at the University of Melbourne.
My teaching style is relaxed, flexible and student-focused. I work with students and parents to identify areas for improvement, explain concepts clearly and build confidence without adding pressure.
I find it especially rewarding to see students make progress and take pride in their achievements. Outside tutoring, I have volunteered as a Puppy Carer for Seeing Eye Dogs for five years, raising and training six puppies.
Charmaine Ong
Hi, my name is Charmaine Ong and I specialise in tutoring Chemistry and Maths.
I graduated in 2024 with an ATAR of 93.4 and am currently studying a Bachelor of Science at the University of Melbourne.
As a tutor, my goal is to foster a supportive and welcoming environment for students to develop both their academic skills and self confidence.

Ryan Jiang
My name is Ryan Jiang and I specialise in tutoring junior to senior level mathematics.
I graduated in 2024 and am currently studying a Bachelor in Law (Honours) and Bachelor of Commerce double degree.
I became a tutor because I wanted to make a significant difference in students’ lives by helping them understand mathematical concepts that may seem difficult or abstract and helping students succeed within their mathematical endeavours brings me great satisfaction and fulfilment.
I adopt a pragmatic teaching style by utilising various approaches to math problems, creating simple solutions to better help students understand otherwise difficult mathematical concepts. I tutor mainly secondary year levels including: General Mathematics, Mathematical Methods and Specialist Maths.
A fun fact about me is that I was the president of the Student Representative Council at school and I enjoy playing the violin and piano during my spare time, achieving both AMusA and LMusA diplomas with distinction in violin.

Meruna Mayooran
Hi there! I’m Meruna Mayooran, a 2025 graduate of The Mac.Robertson Girls’ High School, and I’m studying a Bachelor of Commerce and Law at Monash University. After finishing VCE, I’ve become a confident tutor in Primary Mathematics, General Mathematics and Chemistry, and I’m passionate about helping students achieve their best possible results by the end of the year.
I became a tutor to support students who may find Maths and Chemistry challenging, while also helping them discover and embrace their own unique learning style. I strongly believe that confidence grows when students understand how they learn best, and I embed this approach into every lesson to ensure learning feels both effective and enjoyable.
Outside of tutoring, I’m an avid AFL fan (Go Geelong!), love scrapbooking and reading, and enjoy dancing, something I’ve been doing since I was four years old!

Tutoring has played a significant role in my own academic journey and success, giving me invaluable positive experiences and long-lasting relationships. These experiences inspired me to become a tutor myself and support students through their own learning journeys.
As a tutor, my teaching style is flexible, supportive, and student-centred. I believe that learning is most effective when students feel confident, motivated, and understood. My main goal is to help students develop healthy mindsets towards learning, allowing them to recognise their growth and build confidence in their abilities.
Outside of tutoring, I love exploring my creative outlets, such as sewing, painting, and singing!

What I enjoy most about tutoring is seeing students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, especially when something that once felt difficult finally “clicks”.
Outside of tutoring, I enjoy sports and travelling.
