Teaching minds, touching hearts, transforming lives.

In other words, helping them not only in the four corners of the…

I think a lot of the more important parts of tutoring is involved in the study technique and supporting students to find the motivation in themselves to study and do the work. Being the person that has got their back. Although of course the specific content they are learning is important as well. In addition a lot of students struggle with…

Apart from that, a tutor should definitely empower students with effective study methods, time management strategies, and organizational techniques as it encourages them to develop independence in their learning…

A tutor can help create a safe environment for a child to voice their concerns with learning which they may feel unable to do in a class setting. Having one-on-one tutor sessions can also help a child to target exactly what they are struggling with. A tutor also has more time with that student to assess what they are good at in order to keep…

I believe an english tutor needs empathy. The tutor needs to make a targeted effort to understand their student.

Individual needs must be considered to facilitate…

Jessica went really well with Zara. We're really impressed with how focused Zara is during the session/s and this is obviously in part to Jessica's approach and interest in the student. Certainly off on the right start.

Inside Cooks HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ava practised division and multiplication facts using short tests and visual aids, while Year 9 student Lucas focused on algebraic equations and linear relationships by reviewing actual exam questions.

Meanwhile, in Year 11, Ethan worked through financial maths topics including depreciation and shares, tackling more challenging dividend yield calculations with step-by-step examples to deepen understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Mathematics, one student relied heavily on formula substitution without fully grasping underlying concepts—"she is too reliant on putting numbers into a given formula," noted the tutor, especially in financial maths. This habit led to uncertainty when unfamiliar wording or new problem types appeared.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student's written working was often disorganised and hard to follow, with steps jumbled or missing, which made reviewing errors difficult and slowed progress on worded questions.

Across both years, confidence wavered after setbacks; "I don't know" responses replaced attempts when questions looked challenging, limiting growth in problem-solving and retention.

Recent Achievements

One Cooks Hill tutoring session saw a Year 10 student, Danika, start bringing her own list of tricky questions from class to discuss—something she never used to do. She's also begun tackling homework before lessons rather than leaving it until the last minute.

In Year 12, Liz recently worked through challenging financial maths exam questions and explained her answers out loud, showing clear reasoning and even teaching her tutor some steps—a big change from earlier sessions when she hesitated to speak up.

Meanwhile, Lara in Year 7 independently completed a new problem with linear equations without any prompts for the first time.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

we are very pleased with the tutoring sessions Mario is providing. His tutoring has made a significant improvement to our daughters maths grades and has helped to increase our daughter's confidence with maths which she struggled with previously. He is also very patient, polite and punctual.

Definitely i would say that Lamia is a great Tutor and is tutoring Krintel really well, she is quite comfortable with Lamia and is surely getting support from her which she has been waiting for. Thanks once again for introducing Lamia to us.

So far so good. The kids are actually enjoying their time with Agnes so that's s good sign. Jaren came out of last weeks tutorial session saying "well you learn something new everyday". It just gives them more confidence with mathematical concepts, I think they're getting something out of it. Thank you.
