Demi was very comfortable with Alex which was wonderful as she can become quite anxious.Suzi
Year 7 student Ethan focused on solving linear equations and practicing algebra using worksheets for targeted skill development.
In Year 10, Lilian worked through school-provided sheets to strengthen her understanding of basic algebraic techniques and tackled classroom-based problems.
Meanwhile, a Year 11 student revised calculus concepts including derivatives from first principles, reviewing both textbook exercises and class handouts to consolidate methods ahead of upcoming assessments.
A Year 11 student regularly arrived at lessons without essential materials—textbook, calculator, or workbook—which meant time was lost searching for resources instead of solving questions.
In Year 9, missed scheduled sessions became an issue; "He did not attend and didn't communicate about his absence," noted one tutor, so recent topics weren't consolidated before moving on.
For a Year 4 student, untidy written work in multiplication made it harder to spot repeated calculation slips and slowed progress.
Across these years, incomplete independent practice after class left knowledge gaps unaddressed—especially in number theory for senior students.
One Glen Alpine tutor noticed a Year 8 student who, after previously freezing when faced with worded maths problems, is now confidently writing down what he understands from each question before asking for help—an important step forward in his approach.
A Year 10 student recently started actively reviewing her own mistakes; during a session, she identified where she'd gone wrong on a test and explained the corrections herself instead of waiting for guidance.
Meanwhile, a younger student in primary school showed initiative by applying last week's arithmetic strategies to new division problems today without needing any hints.
Finding a suitable maths tutor for your child can be difficult. Where do you start? What do you look for? Experience? Personality? Someone local? Should they teach their own content or work on your child's current school work? How often should you have tutoring? How long should each session be? Is a particular time of the day more effective than other times?
So many questions, but, after years and years of experience, we can assure you there is no on-size-fits-all answer. Tuition is an individual matter. It's really about finding someone who is a good match for your specific situation. That means a good personality match + a teaching style that matches the student's learning style + a good balance between empathy and authoritativeness + many other things.
Unfortunately no tutor profile can tell you if the tutor will be a good match. You won't know that until you see them working together.
It usually doesn't take us more than a few days to organise a maths tutor in Glen Alpine. And, we really want you to love your tutor! That's why your first lesson works as a trial. Don't think the match is good? We'll organise someone else...
