Physics Tutor Sandgate, NSW
The biggest thing would be to help students understand that ignorance is not failure. Just because they don't know something "basic", that does not mean they are worse than others, or are stupider, or are not going to succeed. It simply means they were not taught in a way that makes sense to them. This could be for a number of reasons, and not…

Inside CharlestownTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Liam focused on mastering the quadratic formula and completing the square to solve quadratic equations, working through targeted practice problems.

For Year 10, Jade explored financial mathematics concepts, including calculating simple interest from worded scenarios and breaking down compound interest and depreciation questions into steps.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student, Michael, revised preliminary HSC topics in calculus—differentiation basics—and strengthened his understanding of functions and polynomials by tackling past exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, one student showed gaps in test time management—"struggled to finish the final questions on algebra under timed conditions," as noted by a tutor.

In Year 11 Chemistry, another student avoided checking calculator inputs during titration calculations, leading to errors that went unnoticed until reviewing answers later.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner hesitated to write down working for multiplication problems, preferring mental calculation but often losing track of place value beyond thousands.

During senior Biology revision, reluctance to actively quiz themselves before exams meant important concepts remained untested—confidence dipped when unexpected topics appeared in practice papers.

Recent Achievements

A Charlestown tutor noticed one Year 11 student who used to rush through financial maths now double-checks each step and can interpret tricky worded questions with far less prompting, a big shift from needing hints every few minutes.

In Year 9, a student who was hesitant to speak up started telling the tutor when she hit a roadblock, then worked through indices problems independently by naming her mistakes out loud—something she'd avoided before.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner surprised everyone by nailing all his addition and subtraction tasks, even pushing himself to tackle more complex numbers after finishing early.

What they say about our tutoring

Adib is wonderful. Ethan enjoys the time spent with him and is getting his motivation back, which is great.

Karly is enjoying the tutoring (as much as kids do!) Pablo is great & always contactable. He keeps in touch & plans for Karly. He is always flexible.

Charlotte is progressing nicely and she works well and is comfortable with Frank.

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 Charlestown Library, walyamayi—or at your child's school (with permission), like Charlestown Public School.
