Local Reviews

We've found Tri to be a great tutor. He is always patient and flexible in his approaches to ensure understanding of the subject matter
Tjulyata & Alariah, Ballajura

Inside BallajuraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Josh revised electric and magnetic fields in Physics, with a focus on application questions and an introduction to magnetic flux using diagrams.

Year 11 student Sarah worked through specialist maths content, including graphing reciprocal functions and revising absolute value function graphs, paying attention to domain, range, and transformations.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Emily practised plotting points on the Cartesian plane and analysed basic graphs and tables for her upcoming exam.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student struggled with magnetic field problems, as more practice is required for magnetic flux and understanding the equations used.

In Year 10, over-reliance on formula sheets during integration tasks made it difficult to apply theory independently—one note read: Needs to practise using different methods of integration without formula sheet assistance.

For a Year 7 student, skipping steps in long division meant errors went unnoticed and had to be fixed after the fact.

Meanwhile, a primary student working on Roman numerals often guessed answers impulsively instead of checking her working, which led to confusion during subtraction exercises.

Recent Achievements

A Ballajura tutor recently saw a Year 11 student move from confusion to real independence with derivatives—she can now visualise problems just from equations, which hadn't clicked before.

In another session, a Year 9 student who used to rush through graphing tasks now double-checks his work and immediately corrects mistakes without prompting.

Meanwhile, in primary years, one student who once struggled with time-telling is now confidently converting between digital and analogue clocks and spotting number patterns using her own strategies.

Last week, a senior class wrapped up revision by completing every curriculum section with strong outcomes on their practice exams.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Mitch has been so wonderful with Nick and is doing an amazing job tutoring Nick, especially getting Nick focused on completing his maths homework. He has worked with Nick so well and has established a great working relationship with him. His patient demeanor is certainly a strong attribute and has made tutoring for Nick so much easier.  Nick has commented several times that 'he has learnt more with Mitch today than he has all week with his teacher'.

I am delighted with Domenic's tutoring. I was concerned about how the tutoring would go because Jake struggles with a high level of anxiety but Domenic has put him at his ease.  He has engaged very well with my son, and is enthusiastic, encouraging, knowledgable and organised. He explains concepts in a way that Jake can grasp them: Jake has had at least one 'ah-ha' moment in every session. Domenic is also always punctual and polite. He has made a big difference already to Jett's confidence and performance at Maths. I look forward to having him continue to tutor Jake through his HSC.

We are certainly happy and off to a great start. Edward has been great, punctual & helpful. I am confident this  trend will continue and George's math will only improve.

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 Ballajura Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ballajura Community College.
