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 Newcastle WestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Liam practised division and explored angle types, often using simple diagrams to build understanding.

In Year 9, Olivia focused on financial mathematics—specifically depreciation and dividend yield—and worked through practice problems involving both lump sums and shares.

For Year 10, Ethan reviewed the quadratic formula alongside completing the square methods, tackling a mix of structured questions to strengthen his algebra skills.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, one student relied heavily on formulas—"she just plugs numbers in," noted a tutor—which led to confusion when questions changed style or context, especially in financial maths.

Another, working through algebra in Year 10, avoided difficult or abstract questions and hesitated to attempt them without step-by-step prompts; this habit caused missed opportunities to build confidence with challenging material.

Messy or incomplete written work also emerged for a Year 8 student: unclear layout meant revisiting steps instead of learning new content.

These patterns often left students second-guessing themselves after setbacks.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Newcastle West noticed Danika has started coming to sessions with questions she's identified from class—something she used to avoid—and now regularly works through problems out loud instead of staying silent.

Another high schooler, Liz, recently tackled difficult z-score and normal distribution problems after asking for a quick explanation; this time, she handled even the tricky ones on her own and explained her reasoning back to the tutor.

In Year 7, Lara showed real initiative by setting up a study plan herself and scored 22/25 on a practice test using new exam techniques.
