Get them feeling comfortable with the fundamentals of what they are struggling with and create a deep-level understanding of the topic. Most importantly, teach them how to think, not what to think. This will give them the cognitive tools that they can apply to future problems. Patience and empathy. I understand everyone learns differently and…

The responsibilities of a tutor extend far beyond just teaching their students. We must act as positive role models who encourage personal growth and confidence, making students feel self-assured in their academic performance. No matter what challenges a student encounters, tutors must be an anchor that compels them to get back up and triumph over…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to identify the weakness of the student so that they can work together to sort things. Another important task is to simplify the materials so that each and every student can learn them in their own pace. The tutor must provide a positive attitude to the students since they improve through their mistakes.…

The most important things a tutor can do are ignite curiosity, build confidence, and create a safe space to grow.

Local Reviews

Quality and experienced maths tutoring from Jes. This whole experience has been so personalised and streamlined and has given me such peace of mind. The first hour free was such a bonus. The phone call follow up from start to finish was great. I would not hesitate to recommend this tutoring service to anyone. My daughter was doubtful at first but there was an immediate change in her maths outlook for a great start to high school.
Simone Wright, Figtree

Inside FigtreeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Isla worked on simplifying fractions and understanding order of operations, also converting numbers to percentages.

For Year 9, Tom tackled algebraic expressions as well as survey-based questions from his worksheets.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Natalia focused on key concepts in algebra and completed final exercises with feedback to consolidate her skills.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student revising transformations in Maths skipped horizontal reflection and scaling, leading to confusion when new examples appeared—"he'll need to revisit these areas for clarity," the tutor noted.

In Year 2, one learner's sums suffered when she rushed through calculations, sometimes forgetting whether to add or subtract; homework showed improvement, but quiz settings brought back the habit.

Meanwhile, a tired Year 3 child lost focus during backwards counting, stalling progress with place value changes.

Across senior grades (Years 10–12), several students reviewed solutions only superficially before exams, leaving them unable to independently reconstruct steps under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

A Figtree tutor recently noticed Annabelle, a Year 11 student, quickly grasped horizontal and vertical transpositions of x² graphs—something she'd hesitated with in earlier sessions.

Tyson (Year 9) made a shift from waiting for answers to recalling information himself when prompted, then applying it directly to questions without second-guessing.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student surprised her tutor by completing all her homework with zero mistakes after previously struggling to remember carrying tens during addition; she even tackled simple subtraction independently.

In the same week, Natalia worked through algebra problems on her own for the first time after initial uncertainty.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thanks Erica, Jemma & Hunter get along very well I'm pleased to report. I've observed that Jemma has that natural communication talent that all gr8 teachers have i.e. they engage you with their knowledge.

No news is good news - we are very happy with Eddie! Thankyou for following up but all is great from our perspective. Thanks again

Yes Jamie seems happy with Daniel's tuition and did well in his maths test following Daniels first tuition session.

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 Figtree Heights Public School.
