Andrew is amazing. My was so anxious about having a tutor and Andrew quickly quashed those feelings in the first 5 minutes of meeting my son. He immediately made him feel comfortable and is teaching my son simple and effective ways of understanding his maths. I would highly recommend Andrew, especially to those who are lacking confidence.Marilyn
Year 8 student Emily worked on transformations including translations, dilations, and reflections using diagrams to reinforce each type.
Year 10 student James tackled quadratic equations—focusing on graphing parabolas and finding turning points—as well as reviewing how to use domain and range notation accurately.
For a primary Years 5–6 learner, Sam explored decimals and fractions by rounding numbers to decimal places and significant figures, practising when to round up or down through real-world examples.
A Year 8 student often left questions blank when unsure, particularly in maths revision, leading to missed chances for feedback and reinforcing uncertainty.
"She shies away from answering if not confident," one tutor noted after a session on rationalising surds.
In Year 10 biology, incomplete homework meant gaps persisted; concepts like cellular respiration were poorly recalled in quizzes.
A senior student tackling VCE Biology hesitated to explain reasoning aloud, making it difficult to identify misconceptions during discussion of the Kreb's cycle. This silence during sessions left critical misunderstandings unaddressed heading into assessments.
One Ballan tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to struggle with probability now independently works through probability tables and accurately counts arrangements, even tackling conditional probabilities without hesitation.
In another session, a high schooler who previously waited for guidance started coming prepared—bringing her own notes and asking focused questions whenever something was unclear.
Meanwhile, a younger student surprised the tutor by explaining photosynthesis in his own words and making his own flow charts after initially needing lots of prompting.
Last week, he scored 4 out of 5 on a quiz about earlier topics, showing real recall from previous lessons.
