Science Tutor Horsley, NSW
Whilst helping the student improve their grades is definitely important, I think that mentoring them is even more important. University and career choice is tricky and I think with my experience I can certainly help others make the best decisions for them. I am passionate about Mathematics. I completed Advanced Math and Ext 1 Math for NSW HSC. I…

I consider a tutor to play a crucial role in a student's educational journey by providing personalised support, clarifying difficult concepts, offering guidance and motivation, providing feedback and assessment, and enhancing confidence. By tailoring their teaching methods, explaining complex topics, and fostering a supportive environment, tutors…

Science Tutor Koonawarra, NSW
Be considerate, patient, understanding, and non-judgemental. It can be very hard to accept help in the first place, and being made to feel like you're failing or a burden is only going to make that harder. I work to understand how their mind works so I can explain in a way they will best understand. I am also very patient, particularly with those…

Ahmad Fraz

Science Tutor Koonawarra, NSW
When you're a tutor, students are like children to us. Nothing is more valuable than our children. Everything we do, every good aspect we think of still feel less for our children. That's how I see myself as a tutor As a tutor I feel I can connect with the students more deeply as I have been studying human psychology for a long period of time and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be open to other methods and understanding that everyone is unique in the areas they struggle with and everyone's solutions to this are unique as well. Being patient with students allows them to work at a pace they feel comfortable with, this will allow them to find enjoyment in the…

A good tutor helps a student feel confident and curious. They make tough subjects easy and fun to understand. They are patient, adapt to students' needs, and always encourage them to do their best. I am good at understanding different ways people learn and making complex topics easy to grasp. I am patient and know my subjects well, which helps me…

Inside AvondaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sophia worked on strengthening her multiplication and subtraction skills, as well as reading time and handling simple data questions using visual examples.

For Year 9, Cailyn practised combining operations with fractions—including division and subtraction—and then applied these to algebraic substitutions with decimal numbers.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Nicholas reviewed financial mathematics by tackling problems involving deposits and simple interest, followed by practice with real-life scenarios like vehicle registration fees.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student was hesitant to show working when tackling algebra, often saying "I can do this in my head," but hidden sign errors crept in, slowing progress.

In Year 8 maths, one learner relied heavily on calculators for fractions and area conversions; this masked gaps in understanding unit changes and formatting answers.

Another senior student showed difficulty recalling linear equation rules between lessons—without regular review or written notes, the same mistakes resurfaced.

For a Year 7 class, untidy setting out and skipping steps during substitution led to confusion over negatives. This meant precious time was lost correcting old errors rather than building new skills.

Recent Achievements

One Avondale tutoring session saw a Year 11 student, Daniel, shift from hesitating over tax instalment questions to independently reworking problems until he got them right—he'd previously needed constant prompting.

Meanwhile, Chelsea in Year 10 had struggled with index laws but now applies them confidently across multiplication, division, and brackets without reminders.

A younger student, Mia, who used to get frustrated and avoid tough subtraction problems, recently stuck with a challenging question until she solved it and then asked for more practice.

Local Spots for Tutoring
