Evandale's tutors include an 11-year higher secondary maths teacher with dual master's degrees and Olympiad leadership, a seasoned K–12 science and English educator with postgraduate credentials, a former secondary school maths teacher, multiple ATAR 97+ and subject award winners, experienced peer mentors, university-trained STEM graduates, and a tutor with national competition honours.
We feel very fortunate to have been placed an excellent tutor who is not only very knowledgeable with maths but obviously passionate about his student's learning. He is also very willing to assist remotely with adhoc queries. All of this combined has definately improved our son's ability and confidence with maths as well as sparked his greater interest and enthusiasm.Petra Brueggemann-Ratzlaff
Year 6 student Pranavi worked on converting between units of time (hours to days) and measurement (mm, cm, m), as well as practising long division with remainders.
In Year 8, Areeba tackled multiplying decimals by whole numbers and multiplying two-digit numbers using both the grid method and standard algorithms.
Meanwhile, Milly in Year 9 focused on converting fractions to decimals and percentages, along with reinforcing division skills and applying the order of operations.
A Year 10 student in mathematics frequently got lost when translating word problems into algebraic equations, even after verbally grasping the relationship; as one tutor observed, "he understood it aloud but struggled to put the expression on paper." This hesitation to write down full working often led to misreading or skipping key question details.
Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner repeatedly needed reminders to line up decimals and place values correctly during arithmetic, causing persistent errors in addition and multiplication—especially with larger numbers. Both scenarios left students feeling frustrated when answers didn't match their understanding, requiring extra time for correction and prompting.
One Evandale tutor noticed a Year 9 student who used to get stuck on fraction homework now working through tricky questions with much less prompting, even tackling bonus problems almost independently.
In a high school science session, another student took the lead by choosing to focus on an upcoming energy assignment and showed he could explain concepts without needing as much guidance as before.
Meanwhile, a Year 10 learner who struggled to write out their maths process is now confidently recording each step when solving mixed-to-improper fraction conversions, making far fewer errors and finishing all set tasks during the lesson.
