Although my goal is to see them be at the top of their class, it is more important to see improvements in their tutor lessons and use the knowledge I give them at school to refine their skills I am very easy going and I have a lot of patience. So I am good with kids that are struggling to understand. I use the 4 predominant learning styles:…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with equity throughout their peers and the greater school community.

Even though it sounds basic, I truly think that patience is the key. When you are respectful of the differences in how people learn it can allow the student to feel more comfortable and willing to engage.

PDHPE Tutor Unanderra, NSW
A tutor shouldn’t just repeat what a students been taught by their teacher. I believe it’s important a tutor listens to their student and understands the areas they struggle in and need help with, and to further understand how that student learns as everyone learns in different ways. A tutor that understands their student will be capable of…

Not only help them with their basic learning but conceptually understand what they are learning and how they can continue to keep that knowledge in their mind. Tutors need to be calm, and patient and let students them know it is okay to make mistakes because there is so much pressure from family and teachers to get everything right. Making…

Local Reviews

Rishika is a very good tutor. She has a well understanding of maths and makes it easy for my daughter in helping her clear her doubts.
Zainab

Inside Farmborough HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Charlie practised long addition with carrying and worked on simple subtraction using written examples.

In Year 9, Daniel focused on linear equations with negative numbers and fractions, as well as plotting points and values on the Cartesian plane, before moving onto perimeter calculations and square unit conversions.

For Year 11, Nicholas reviewed non-right angled trigonometry—particularly bearings—and completed revision of algebraic substitution problems using targeted past HSC questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 algebra, one student was reluctant to show working and often kept calculations in their head; as a tutor noted, "it is difficult knowing where she is stuck if she keeps her process contained within her mind." This led to missed feedback opportunities and repeated errors.

A Year 8 student relied heavily on calculator inputs for linear equations but struggled to clearly transfer results onto paper, resulting in incomplete finishing statements.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner's written work sometimes lacked clear logic in multiplication—mistakes compounded when sentence questions weren't translated into sums.

In senior maths, exam preparation faltered when revision focused only on familiar question types rather than new or challenging formats.

Recent Achievements

A Farmborough Heights tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to doubt her algebra skills now independently tackles equations with variables, checking her answers without prompting.

In a senior session, one student who previously struggled with trigonometry began identifying which trig function to use and isolating unknowns correctly after practicing right-angled triangle problems.

Meanwhile, in Year 3 maths, a younger learner who often made mistakes with carrying in addition completed her homework error-free for the first time and remembered to mark her tens throughout all sums.

What they say about our tutoring

We could not be happier with Mandar he is very pleasant to deal with, always on time and very good with the Khai, Piper and Chase.

Connor was great and has put Indigo on a great pathway for working independently with her maths.

Kerry helped Ella with her confidence and she did really well with her math test. Her scores have been going up.

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 Eagle Vale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cedars Christian College.
