The most vital thing a tutor can do for any student is to ensure comprehension of the topic. Notably, in math. It is easy enough to follow a procedure on how to solve a problem, running through the steps that were taught. However, if a student can understand why those steps are happening, and delve into fundamentals of the problem, then they can…

From hating it to loving it, to understanding it. to improve my grades where I can see that I am capable of acquairing high grades. I would certainly say my passion and presistence on the students' success,…

I believe that the purpose of a tutor is to tailor their teaching as closely as possible to the needs of every individual student; tutors should never take a one-size fits all approach to teaching. Whether that be addressing specific areas of weakness, or adopting a particular teaching style, every student has their own unique needs and ways of…

Inspire them. One of the biggest roadblocks for many students is a general reluctance to do it due to negative stigma from either their parents, peers or even themselves. Sometimes when students don't quite grasp a concept, they will think "well I just don't get it", and then further down the line every time that concept is built upon, they will…

The tutor was kind and respectful. Worked well with Rowina and helped her better understand what she was struggling with.

Inside HillcrestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Hunter focused on multiplication and division basics to build towards early algebra, using practical examples for understanding.

In Year 10, Grace worked through the application of the unit circle in trigonometry and practiced balancing chemical equations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Daniel tackled logarithms—learning their properties and solving related problems—and explored radians with a focus on real-world applications.

Recent Challenges

In Year 4, a student often set out fraction addition and subtraction messily, which led to avoidable calculation errors; as one tutor noted, "he still has a little confusion on how to layout his addition and subtraction of fractions."

For a Year 11 Methods student, reluctance to write working in algebra—preferring mental calculations—resulted in repeated mistakes that weren't caught until prompted.

Meanwhile, another senior student's confidence faltered during exam-style worded problems; she hesitated despite using correct reasoning. In these moments, uncertainty slowed her progress and increased doubt just as time pressure mounted.

Recent Achievements

One Hillcrest tutor noticed a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to speak up now talks through her maths problems out loud, highlights key info, and finishes subtraction questions with far fewer errors than before.

In Year 12 methods, a student who struggled with calculator menus is now independently navigating functions for complex probability tasks and catches small mistakes early—something he rarely did at the start of term.

Another high schooler has started finishing all assigned homework on time and recently spotted the tutor's own error during a number line activity, showing real initiative in her learning.

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 Logan West Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Bernardine's School.
