Being patient in allowing students to fully grasp a topic or idea before proceeding.

Speaking from personal experience, I don't think I would've liked studying the subjects I had in year 10, 11 and 12 if I hadn't had good teachers who knew how to make the subjects interesting to learn. A tutor is capable of making studying feel less burdensome and I…

Instead of teaching in a standard linear fashion, I prefer to let the pupil choose what they would like to practice and I will explain the concept while showing how the idea can be applied and adjusted. I also believe worded problems are a strong point that should be focused on as they test the knowledge of the student and how the student can…

Recognise HOW a student actually learns. One of the hardest things a student has to learn is what method of studying actually suits them and once you find that the rest seems to fall in place.

Inside Minto HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 Leon focused on financial maths, including textbook problems on simple and compound interest, and reviewed homework questions.

For Year 11 Sanjli, lessons centred on functions—exploring domain, range, and function notation—alongside challenging surds and indices factorisation using worked examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 Vasati sat a review exam covering rational numbers and operations with whole numbers to assess understanding before moving forward.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 mathematics, a student repeatedly rushed through equation manipulation tasks without carefully reading each question, which led to misinterpretation of worded problems and missed key details—"he does not read the question in depth and rushes to conclusions," noted one tutor.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student tackling trigonometry struggled to apply the correct formulas under timed conditions; confusion increased when encountering bearing questions that required careful breakdown of wording.

In Year 5 English, untidy handwriting and incomplete spelling practice meant errors were often overlooked during revision, making it harder for her to spot patterns or improve accuracy over time.

Recent Achievements

In Minto Heights, a Year 9 student who used to second-guess herself on tests completed an entire practice exam within the set time and even identified her own errors before being prompted.

Another high schooler made a shift from hesitating with worded maths questions to independently tackling tricky bearing problems and explaining her steps out loud.

Meanwhile, one of the younger students, who previously waited for help with unfamiliar words, now tries to sound them out herself and has started getting most spelling quiz answers right without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Ara and Steven are getting on well. I think it has helped just having someone to ask questions of outside the classroom setting. Also getting an alternate explanations is helping her really click on concepts. She is well advanced on her assignment which she has worked through with Steven. Seems to be more confident to back herself as well.

We have been working with Emily since last year and so we are very happy with her.

Nicholas, our tutor, has been absolutely amazing and has a wonderful influence on on Mike. And you service is exceptional!

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 Greg Percival Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Al-Faisal College - Campbelltown.
