Science Tutor Charlestown, NSW
In my experience there are parts of courses that a student can not or would not understand on their own, however through my assistance to understand road blocks in course content and as a result help resolve and navigate them to me is the most important aspect of the job. I can explain course content in a manner students would find engaging and…

We’ve only had 2 sessions so far but Deanna is already going really well. The girls are starting to get some benefit.

Inside Carey BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Claudia worked on converting basic fractions to decimals and practiced reading both analogue and 24-hour time.

In Year 9, Tiffany completed a diagnostic assessment covering algebraic manipulation and indices to identify focus areas for upcoming lessons.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ethan revised financial mathematics—calculating gross and net pay using percentages—and tackled essay structure in English, working through real-life wage scenarios alongside writing tasks.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student in mathematics has been struggling to recall formulas for indices and often mixes up symbols when multiplying and dividing, as one tutor noted: "She wasn't sure which symbol to use in index laws, so the answer didn't make sense."

In Year 10 chemistry, difficulty remembering steps for titration calculations led to repeated errors on practice tests.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student's workbook was flagged for "messy handwriting and unclear layout," making it hard to follow her own working when adding fractions.

For one Year 11 student revising financial maths, forgetting basic facts like weeks per year slowed problem-solving.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Carey Bay recently noticed Tiffany, a high school student, move from hesitation to confidently applying the Pythagorean Theorem and working through salaries and wages calculations step by step—she even began speaking up when something wasn't clear, rather than staying silent.

Another secondary student became noticeably more independent with expanding equations and solving problems involving indices, now communicating openly about what she finds tricky.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who once struggled with reading analog clocks can now tell the time without help and has started using a whiteboard on her own to work through new times tables.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Jade has settled in really well with Sangdi, and has told me that she feels she is learning and understanding new things each time they have a meeting. I am also happy with Sangdi as I can see that he has already made progress with Jade.

Holly has stated that Jennifer her tutor is helping her with her Maths. She is certainly in a better frame of mind with Jennifer than when either myself or my husband had tried to help in the past. Early days yet but looking positive.

We are very happy with Kirill. In a short space of time he seems to have developed a good relationship with our sons. They feel comfortable asking for assistance in understanding concepts etc. I feel that Kirill is a good match and a great role model for them!!! It doesn't hurt that he is from NZ (like me); sporty (like my boys) and at Melbourne Uni doing engineering , which is something that I think may interest Mason!

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 Toronto Library, tirrabiyangba—or at your child's school (with permission), like Coal Point Public School.
