Chifley's tutors include a qualified primary teacher with years of K–6 classroom and special education experience, a UNSW maths competition leader and IB tutor, Sydney Boys High alumni with multiple academic awards and 99+ ATARs, seasoned Abacus Centre instructors, peer mentors, and subject duxes—all passionate about helping students thrive academically and personally.
We are very pleased with the tutoring and Nafuil is a very pleasant young man and easy to talk to. I was a bit concerned that Autumn might be a bit shy with him but she really likes him and all is well. Nafiul has advised that Autumn only has small gaps in her knowledge and he is assisting her with gaining this knowledge.Kay, Chifley
Year 6 student Alex worked on multiplying and dividing fractions as well as tackling perimeter and area problems using geometry diagrams.
For Year 8, Sarah focused on expanding brackets in algebra and practiced solving inequalities by graphing them.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student James reviewed trigonometry basics including the sine and cosine rules, and applied these concepts to exam-style questions for extra practice.
A Year 8 student struggled with organizing their working in algebra—"setting out still needs work"—which led to errors being missed during multi-step questions.
In Year 11, anxiety and lack of confidence surfaced; the student hesitated to communicate assessment deadlines until the last minute, leaving no time for support.
Another senior student's exam answers lacked structure and detail, even after targeted feedback.
In a Year 10 science task, reading questions carefully was overlooked, so critical information was missed when analysing results.
The gap between intention and follow-through grew wider as stress mounted before deadlines.
One Chifley tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask questions now openly seeks clarification when tackling algebra problems, leading her to independently solve equations she once found daunting.
A high school student recently managed to complete each maths question in under two minutes—a big step up from his earlier struggles with focus and time management, especially after finding that ambient music helped him concentrate.
In a primary session, a younger learner who'd mixed up perimeter and area before is now confidently calculating both for composite shapes without prompting.
