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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Again, I would just like to say Justin's work with Connor was amazing. In such a short period of time Connor has managed to gain confidence in maths from his time spent with Justin. We are so grateful that your organisation matched the tutor and the nature of the student perfectly. Funny as it may sound, maths is no longer Connor's nemesis. Ezy Maths is fortunate to have such a patient and understanding tutor as Justin, we wish him every success for the future.

We have been really happy with tutor and your service and have already recommended you to other parents. Thanks for your help and we will contact you agaIn if we ever need any  more help...:)

Just got Tahli's report. She got 55/100 last report and now 73/100 with position of 2/62 in her year. I have thanked Vashika for her work with Tahli and sorry to lose her next year but thanks to Ezy maths for giving my child confidence in maths!

Chemistry tutoring in Hillcrest

All students need to go from struggling to catching up is the right kind of help at the right moment. The same goes for students who are on top of their assignments but never quite excel at science.

Students reach the next level when they work with someone who understands their needs, who’s available and honestly cares about their goal. That kind of support goes a long way, especially with chemistry, as it tends to be elusive and hard to master.

Chemistry Tutor Hillcrest

In most cases, that kind of help isn't available at school. Teachers already have a full classroom to manage and are generally swamped with tasks. Maybe you've already thought of finding a local Hillcrest chemistry tutor for your child, but you didn't know where to start and what to look out for.

We can help.

This is what we do. We organise one-on-one tutoring in your home, at a time that's most convenient for you. You choose what the tutor covers and how often they come. Not quite sure what your child needs to learn? No need to worry, we'll figure it out.

We charge a simple hourly fee and last but not least, in case you don't like the first lesson - we consider it a trial and match you with another chemistry tutor in Hillcrest.

We've seen it time and time again, all it takes for a student to start trying again is that one aha moment.

The right tutor can get your child there.

Give it a try!

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.
