Helga has been fantastic with our year 7 daughter who has needed assistance with maths. She has tailored the approach to suit her needs.Natasha
Year 5 student Zac focused on dividing fractions and multiplying mixed fractions, using step-by-step examples to strengthen understanding.
For Year 8, Jasmine worked through finding unknown angles in right-angled triangles with Pythagoras' theorem and SOHCAHTOA, applying these methods to her homework problems.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ben tackled rearranging formulae to change the subject and practiced substituting values into equations for homework assignments, consolidating his algebra skills.
A Year 8 student arrived to the lesson without his notes or workbook, making targeted revision difficult; as noted, "he left his notes and school work book at school so he didn't have any guidelines for revision."
In a senior session on trigonometry and equations, one student relied heavily on mental calculations but sometimes omitted working out, especially when rearranging SOHCAHTOA formulas—errors with signs slipped through unnoticed.
Meanwhile, a primary student hesitated to attempt unfamiliar worded money problems until encouraged to draw diagrams.
When homework was set for clock models, it was not always completed, which slowed concept recap in later lessons.
A tutor in Empire Bay recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to struggle with rearranging algebraic formulas now confidently solves for unknowns and even explains his reasoning aloud without prompting.
Another high schooler, previously hesitant to speak up, began actively asking questions during lessons and completed all assigned graphing problems using his calculator independently—something he'd never attempted solo before.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who once guessed at worded money questions started drawing currency diagrams unprompted to check her answers, then finished her set of addition and subtraction problems without any errors.
We have all had the experience of a "bad teacher" and we know it's not pleasant. Often the teacher is simply a bad match for that particular student rather than being a "bad teacher" in general but in either case the student has a serious problem. This is why many parents contact us for a private tutor - their child just can't "get it" when their teacher is teaching.
It's incredible how one explanation results in more confusion whereas another results in that "aha" feeling we all love so much! It is really a matter of getting the "right" tutor and not the "best" one. We see this every day in our work. A tutor might have hundreds of hours of experience and might have received dozens of testimonials from students, however, even such a tutor doesn't click with all students. Every tutor gets bad feedback sometimes. It's all about getting the right fit and this is what we do!
We will organise a 1-on-1 maths tutor in Empire Bay to come to your home at a time of your choosing. They will be a local Empire Bay maths tutor so scheduling lessons will be easy. Also, no booking fees, no minimum terms, no cancellation costs, no nonsense! And here's the best thing: your first lesson is a trial. So if you feel that the tutor wasn't a good fit, we'll organise someone else. It's our Good Fit Guarantee.
