I believe that getting high grades in school is not the most important goal for my student (although this is something we work towards), but rather what is most important for me as a tutor is to see them learn, progress and improve each time. I want to teach them the value of hard work while building up their confidence and motivation to tackle…

As a tutor you can provide a child/student with a different outlook on their learning. For example, their school teacher may have explained it in a way that the child didn't particularly understand, and as a tutor you can give them a more unique and individual learning experience that they wouldn't get at school. Providing children with one-on-one…

To encourage them to keep going and not give up, because it can get really upsetting to the student if they can't understand a specific thing after some time spent on it. It's important to reassure them that the progress they've made so far has been good and worthwhile, and that everyone's learning paces are different. Most importantly, it's…

It is important for a tutor to steer the student into the right direction by giving simplistic explanations to questions or concepts, as poor explanations can confuse and destroy students' thought processes. What is also really important for a tutor is to be non-judgmental and have a personality that can induce questions from students who may be…

A tutor should take their time with a student and make sure the student understands before moving on. I believe the purpose of tutoring should be to provide learning strategies that are specific to the individual in contrast with teaching in a classroom (at the pace of the class). A tutor should provide multiple strategies for learning. For…

Local Reviews

Communication is great and informative, when EZY Math assigned a tutor for my daughter that I did not want they were great about finding another person more suitable to our needs.
Mrs Giovanna Gupta, Athelstone

Inside AthelstoneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Alex worked on consolidating multiplication facts, especially the 6 and 7 times tables, and practised finding perimeter and area of rectangles using diagrams.

In Year 9, James focused on solving linear equations and identifying x- and y-intercepts when graphing lines from equations.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Priya explored trigonometry by applying the cosine rule to solve triangle problems and used a cheat sheet for extra practice ahead of her upcoming test.

Recent Challenges

Several process challenges emerged across primary and high school levels.

In Year 4 maths, incomplete homework was a repeated concern—"Kalani should remember to do her homework," noted after multiple subtraction and times table sessions, leaving gaps in revision.

A Year 9 student came to lessons without books, which meant "less related questions" could be tackled that week.

In senior maths (Year 11), over-reliance on calculators surfaced during standard deviation tasks; when asked to work manually, confusion slowed progress.

One tutor observed a Year 8 student organizing ideas for English assignments but struggling to format them clearly, making conclusions harder to draft confidently.

Recent Achievements

One Athelstone tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously struggled with test mistakes now quickly pinpointing where she went wrong and independently correcting her working—something she hesitated to attempt last term.

In another session, a Year 9 student who used to rely heavily on prompting surprised her tutor by solving challenging equations almost entirely on her own after just one walkthrough.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who would often rush through word problems is now pausing to underline key information before answering, leading her to finish every question in the set correctly this week.

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Campbelltown Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Athelstone School.
