My main focus is to not just explain the content in a way they really understand the principles behind it and it would not just be memorising the content on the student's part. I also believe that connecting with the student can help the teaching learning process a lot. I am a very understanding person in general. So I am most of the time capable…

It is important for a tutor to identify and tailor a plan for each student so that they are learning efficiently. For example, as I am a visual and auditory learner, I learn most efficiently by watching lectures and videos and less…

Inside Devon ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Talia focused on simplifying fractions and converting them into decimals using long division.

In Year 9, Jason worked through algebraic expansion and practised applying the difference of two squares rule.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student revised solving quadratic equations and explored factorisation of quadratic trinomials, with extra practice using real exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

Forgot to do her homework before the lesson in Year 8, which meant time had to be spent reviewing missed material instead of building new skills.

For a Year 9 topic test, the tutor noted she hadn't mentioned it ahead of time—this limited targeted revision and confidence on test day.

A recurring issue in Year 7 algebra was messy written work, making it hard for her to spot sign errors or follow solutions.

In senior grades, over-reliance on notes sometimes led to confusion with unfamiliar problems; one tutor observed, "she didn't use her notes efficiently during practice exercises."

Recent Achievements

A Devon Park tutor noticed Athena, a Year 10 student, has shifted from hesitating over worded problems to confidently constructing precise solutions and recently completed most test questions in the set time.

In Year 7 maths, Constanza used to rely on step-by-step guidance but now studies her notes independently and applies them to finish homework without prompting—she even asks thoughtful questions when she's unsure.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who previously struggled with mental maths now solves basic and more complicated examples efficiently; last week, she got through all her timetables without needing help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy and have been very impressed by Kamran. He has a really lovely nature, is kind, encouraging and very professional. Daneeka finds him very easy to follow and understand and really enjoys her lesson with him every week and already is improving. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone that needs a wonderful maths tutor.

My son Joshua had Tu as a tutor and he had great results. He responded well to Tu as a teacher, his marks improved and he gained confidence through the tutoring.

We were very happy with your company and my daughter's tutor, Daniel. There was an obvious improvement in my daughter's performance and attitude towards maths as reflected in her end of year report.

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 Prospect Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Brompton Primary School.
