I think that the most important thing a maths tutor can do for a student is to be understanding of the student and the student's circumstances and best adapt to the student's schedule and learning method. I think that the tutor must learn to adapt to how the student studies and learns and try to find the best method or technique that will help the…

The actual academics itself, while being at the core of the tutoring, is not the most valuable aspect.

You must find a balance between being…

Guo was excellent. He was familiar with the topic, resources and the marking requirements for Year 12. He was able to communicate well with Crystal and she felt positive and confident after the session.

Inside OrmeauTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Milly worked on changing improper fractions to mixed numbers and revising multiplication of decimal numbers in homework tasks.

For Year 9, Sam practised converting angles between degrees and DMS (degrees, minutes, seconds) as well as solving word problems involving compass and true bearings.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ava focused on revision questions with logarithmic equations and index laws, plus tackled area calculations for graphs using sine and cosine rules.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student's tendency to "not check her diagrams" in geometry tasks led to repeated errors when transferring shapes from textbook questions, causing confusion during problem-solving.

In Year 10, anxiety after missed school was evident; as one tutor noted, "she lost confidence drawing diagrams from given questions," which slowed progress and made revision stressful.

A Year 4 student's multiplication work showed messy calculation layouts, making it hard to spot mistakes or follow steps—resulting in time wasted reworking problems instead of building new skills.

Missed practice on foundational times tables across Years 3–7 often left students unsure mid-task, breaking their concentration.

Recent Achievements

One Ormeau tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously mixed up steps in multi-bracket algebra now confidently tackles problem sheets, double-checking each answer without prompting.

In a recent session with a Year 8 student, the tutor observed her independently correcting careless errors on division tasks—something she used to overlook and rely on hints for.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student has started verbalising every step when solving multiplication word problems, showing much more initiative instead of waiting for direction.

Last week, that same student completed all three-digit by one-digit divisions without needing any reminders to check their work.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Matthew has become much happier to talk & often inform us about math problems & the confidence he has gained even at this early stage of being tutored is huge. Andrew has been a tremendous help so far.

We are very happy with Theodora and since the school year is coming to an end, we look forward to seeing her again in 2018.

All good with Morgan, my daughter found her to be an excellent maths tutor and helped her immensely!

Maths tutoring in Ormeau

Our goal is to help your child become an independent learner. Ultimately they must succeed on their own, without a maths tutor. Otherwise, what's the point? Each student has their own path to intellectual independence but a tutor can certainly help in every case. Exam technique, revision, problem solving, study habits and many more "learning strategies" come into play. It can be a difficult road for our young people and mentorship from someone who has been there and done that can be the difference between success and failure.

So what do we do exactly?

We'll organise an in-home maths tutor in Ormeau. They'll come over as often as you need and when you need. They will teach your child content while helping them absorb the learning skills required to succeed on their own. It's super important that your child feels the tutor is a good match for them. This is why we offer a "Good Fit Guarantee" - the first lesson is a trial. There are no cancellation costs or booking fees or any other "hidden costs". We keep it simple!

Talk to one of our consultants, help us understand what you need, when you need it, and we'll do the rest!
