Sydney's Gurveer Singh Khalsa says he always gravitated towards maths and physics, subjects that were often less enjoyed by his peers.
“Maths is a subject where you just practise and improve. And it is equally essential to have a strong base and clear fundamentals to prosper in subjects that involve numbers," he says.
Mr Singh, who studied in Noida, India, until class four, says primary education in India helped him a great deal in achieving academic success in Australia.
"My mum used to teach me mathematics while I was in India, which ensured that I had a strong foundation.
"Also, the Indian system of education moves at a faster pace during primary years, which meant I was way ahead in the subject when I started studying in Australia in class 5," he adds.

"Sometimes extra classes can help clear doubts and give you an added advantage."
Applying for an engineering degree at the University of NSW is a natural choice for his next move to continue his interest in studying numbers and logic.
