Tutors must be able to demonstrate openness towards the needs of each student and help to better understand a students situation. I feel that the ability to carefully understand the certain needs and goals of each student and provide particular guidance and assistance a long the way to achieving these goals is crucial in tutoring, rather than…

What I consider to be the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to build a relationship with them. Listening to a student, assessing what areas they struggle with most, and celebrating the accomplishments they have made in their studies (whether big or small), is key in strengthening the student's trust in the tutor. In turn, this…

The most important thing a tutor could do for a student is show them that every student responds to education in the same way or at the same pace and whichever way they process information is perfectly normal. The goal is to maximize learning, in the way that works best for the students. I have seen this significantly reduce academic frustrations…

Making students regain the confidence they loose on themselves when they see they're not getting the results they expected.

Very helpful staff. Invoicing was simple Tutor was a little insecure/shy which was not very motivating for my child. He was late on a number of occasions but very happy to stay over the 1hr to complete work.

Inside ForestvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Jessica worked through pattern recognition and tackled long division using step-by-step examples.

In Year 8, Ethan focused on converting fractions to percentages and decimals, then interpreted pie graphs and charts with real-life data sets.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ava explored financial maths by calculating GST and percentage change, applying these skills to practical scenarios.

Recent Challenges

Several high school students missed assigned homework on multiple occasions, particularly in Year 9 and Year 10 mathematics—one tutor observed, "He did not complete his homework again which is unfortunate."

In a senior maths lesson, a student forgot key content from previous weeks during a test review, suggesting little revision outside of sessions.

For one Year 8 algebra session, steps were often skipped in working out equations ("attempted to do some conversion questions in his head"), leading to confusion and small errors that weren't easily traced back.

During advanced geometry with a Year 11 student, messy layout made it difficult to follow reasoning or spot where the method broke down.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Forestville noticed a Year 9 student who previously mixed up algebraic rules is now correctly applying BODMAS without prompting, making fewer calculation errors during practice.

In another session, a Year 11 student showed new independence by identifying and solving gradient questions on their own—this used to be an area where he'd hesitate or wait for hints.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner who was once unsure about times tables now answers multiplication problems with growing speed and checks her work before moving on to the next question.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

My daughter Jasmine has been tutored by Thomas Ban in maths for the past few years. She recently was accepted into the gifted and talented class for year 7 at Stella Maris and also received an "Outstanding" grade (highest grade possible) for Maths this year. We just wanted to thank Thomas Ban for the wonderful work he has done with Jasmine this year. We feel that she has received these grades due to Thomas tutoring. He has challenged and pushed her to work harder and improve her maths. He is also extremely professional and courteous.

Aryo is very happy with Brittany and looking forward to see her which is a good start !

I am confident that Mandeep's approach is just what Hugo and Havier need to lift their confidence and capabilities to be the best they can be.

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 Forestville Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Forestville Public School.
