i believe a maths tutor needs to be encouraging, as confidence is a massive part of improving in anything and a tutor plays a crucial part in building their confidence up. a tutor also needs to be compassionate in order to relate to the student and understand how they think, so they are able to identify what exactly they struggle with and how best…

The most important thing you can do for a student (other than teaching them the things they are struggling with) is letting them know they aren't as "stupid" as they may feel. So many students enter tutoring frustrated, upset and not wanting to be there because they believe that they are "stupider" or "dumber" than their friends because "well my…

A tutor should be patient and friendly to re-discuss any topic number of times to make their students understand until they don`t feel to move to the next topic, a maths tutor should be a good leader who can motivate students in the right direction. I create a friendly atmosphere where students feel free to discuss their doubts without any…

A tutor must be able to reinforce the foundational theories and concepts taught in school and from there guide their student through the ways in which this information can connect to a wide range of questions. Exposure to a myriad of problems improves a student's ability to recognise how their own knowledge connects to a solution and thus their…

Support and patience. Trying to force too many things at once can only frustrate somebody attempting to better themselves, following a pace the student is best learning at is crucial. Frustration and not grasping an idea or a concept can lead to giving up, which is why support and again patience are key. I'm reliable, patient and easy to talk to.…

Tutors cannot think for their students, but what they can do is guide their students to an understanding. This means facilitating understanding by providing a space for students to ask their own questions, receive helpful answers, and be guided through any difficult topics. I believe tutors must teach alongside students by teaching them strategies…

The most important thing a maths tutor could do is create a safe environment for the student. Learning can be more comprehensive and explicit once the student is comfortable around their tutor’s presence. The tutor also must maintain and adhere to an elaborate study plan to help the student. I am very patient and would never snap even on being…

Inside Buff PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Ben focused on differentiation techniques including the chain rule and optimisation, as well as applying integration to solve area-under-curve problems using past HSC questions.

Year 9 student Mia worked through algebraic simplification using index rules and expanded expressions from worded scenarios, also tackling financial maths by solving income and simple interest questions.

For Year 7, Alex revised how to convert fractions to decimals and practiced fraction multiplication before exploring basic algebra operations such as addition, subtraction, and plotting simple linear graphs.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, one student hesitated to write out their steps in multi-part algebra problems—preferring to "try it in my head"—which made it difficult to spot where confusion over rearranging equations crept in. This led to extra time spent untangling sign errors instead of moving forward with more complex questions.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 learner repeatedly arrived at sessions without having completed assigned homework; as a tutor noted, "He needs to attempt questions alone to improve." In the moment, this meant less independent practice and lower confidence when tackling new topics like SOHCAHTOA or multi-step fractions.

Recent Achievements

A Buff Point tutor recently saw a Year 10 student, Thomas, move from hesitancy with algebra to confidently tackling word problems he'd previously avoided; this time, he was quicker at expanding expressions and even attempted tougher questions without prompting.

In a senior session, one student who used to freeze on complex calculus problems learned how to break down difficult integrals into manageable steps and started approaching harder questions independently rather than waiting for hints.

Meanwhile, in a Year 4 lesson, Kade—who once struggled with decimal multiplication—solved several multi-step problems correctly on his own and explained each step out loud without needing reassurance.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you for your e-mail.  I have spoken to Wen from the beginning about how he finds the tutoring with Charles.  Wen advised that he is happy with Charles as Charles is very kind and very understanding tutor. Wen said Charles communicate with ease and that makes it easier for Wen to understand.  Wen said he likes that Charles teaches him the faster and straight forward methods as it is less confusing.  Wen said he has been attempting harder questions with Charles which in turn gives him more confidence to attempt them.

We are very happy with Harriet , thanks. Mikayla has found it very easy to relate to her , and Harriet is always approachable and responsive. As it has only been a couple of weeks and is now school holidays , we haven't got any school results to go on however I am sure we will start to see results in this area. We had a negative experience with tutoring in the past (different organisation) , so we were reluctant to go down this path again , however I think we will have success with Harriet.

I thought our tutor was very good, and was very happy with the professionalism. Many thanks Keep up the good work.,

Maths tutoring in Buff Point

Maybe looking for a maths tutor? Maths unfortunately has a reputation for difficulty and for not being useful in "real life". This is so much so the case that there is now a national program in Australia called "Choose Maths" to help encourage our young people to treat their maths studies seriously. However, in an increasingly technological world logical thinking is becoming increasingly valued. While your teenager may be complaining that they will "never use algebra in real life", the truth is that the logical thinking and problem solving skills developed through mathematics are extremely useful. Software development, engineering, artificial intelligence, genetics, data analytics, finance, insurance ... the list can go on and on. The future requires logical thinking and the only way to develop those skills is mathematics.

A conveniently located Buff Point maths tutor will help boost grades but also to develop a stronger interest in maths. The tutor comes to your home at a time that works for you. There are no minimum terms or cancellation costs. Just pay for what you use each month. And guess what? Your first lesson works as a trial. If you don't like it, don't pay for it.

We want you to love your tutor and we will organise a fitting maths tutor in Buff Point!
