Tutors in Blackheath include high-achieving graduates, experienced teachers, subject specialists, and passionate mentors from top Australian universities. Many have received academic awards or hold advanced degrees, and all share a genuine commitment to helping students succeed.
Some of the most important things a biology tutor can do is: create a positive and productive learning environment, provide strategies for critical thinking, and bring awareness to overall concepts of learning instead of focusing on a single assignment or test to foster ongoing success. I am patient and approachable. I want students to feel…
Be supportive and encouraging. Be flexible and willing to meet the student where they are at. I think it's good to be able to explain concepts in multiple ways and have a genuine passion for the subject at hand as this can be motivating for the student I am fairly knowledgeable and very patient with people. I have some experience interacting one…

Inside BlackheathTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
What they say about our tutoring
Ryan has been great. Jordon is already understanding more of the content which is fantastic. His words were "Ryan explains things much better than my teacher, so I understand it better."
All is going well with David. He is always on time and explaining things well with Ella. They are working through her math book and things are moving forward which is great. She will continue with a tutor once she starts school in Malaysia.
Thank you for your email.
Ben and David are working well together and it appears that the working relationship is positive. Interestingly, Ben has instantly been able to move to working with David as both David and Ben have in common the same secondary school that Ben is currently going to. So while David attended the school some years prior to Ben, and much has change, they were still able to compare experiences about the school which helped start them working constructively.
We are very satisfied with continuing with David.
