So ensuring that the student understands the lessons and have a proper take away is extremely important. As a tutor, I would rate effective communication and ease with which I can…

Being a friend! Most students whom I’ve thought have confessed they gained more knowledge from me as they considered me to be more than a teacher as I had a great understanding from their point of view and tried to do more in class and reduce workload at home to balance their lives and education. In the meantime I’ve managed the time and…

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is provide them with the fundamental concepts and processes that they can use to solve problems and learn a topic. It is important to focus on a students understanding of a task so that they can apply that understanding to other similar tasks. My strengths as a tutor are in being…

*Be a mentor, rather than a tutor.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be present as a support system, and a peer more than a teacher. If a student is coming for tutoring, they clearly want to improve in a certain area, or are just looking for supplemental support. We are not meant to replace their teachers in any way, but instead offer a helping hand…

awesome care and attention which is really delivering results ??

Inside BurwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Flynn focused on understanding matrix multiplication and transformation matrices, working through worded questions to interpret their real-world applications.

In Year 10, Sucheta completed targeted revision for her upcoming probability test, including practice with Venn diagrams and the addition rule.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sam tackled graphing parabolas—finding range and domain—and solved worded problems involving both parabolas and hyperbolas, using visual methods to reinforce concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing for SACs in advanced maths was advised to "write down lots of notes to take into his sacs," yet often relied on memory rather than organizing a clear reference book—this left him searching for definitions and methods mid-task.

In a Year 8 session, heavy dependence on calculators was noted; as one tutor put it, "very reliant on calculator need to ease off and start using paper working more to help with test work."

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner struggled with homework conversions between fractions and decimals, leading to incomplete practice before class.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Burwood recently noticed Flynn, a high school student, tackle financial and linear modules that had previously left him unsure—he now works through practice exams with only minor errors needing correction.

In another session, Tayla (Year 7) shifted from hesitating to speak up to regularly volunteering answers and openly asking for help when stuck—a big step compared to her initial quietness.

Meanwhile, Sucheta (senior years) mastered long division of polynomials after initially struggling; by the end of the lesson she was confidently solving them without support.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very impressed with Abitha & her approach in tutoring Capri. Already Capri is showing signs of more confidence & less anxiety with her maths.

I'd like to highly recommend Dwight to any other families. His kind and patient demeanor translate into a great tutor. He's been very helpful. My daughter just got her results from her Algebra test which Dwight had to catch her up on as that's one of the topics she missed. She got 93%. Great result and proof of Dwights great tutoring.

Joshua feels comfortable with Linh so far, which is fantastic. His teaching skills are impressive! Very happy so far...

Local Spots for Tutoring
