The most crucial role of a tutor is to simplify and engage with the content. Since students are already learning the material in school but struggling to grasp it, it is essential to use a different strategy. By making the content simpler and more engaging, the tutor can help the student to not only understand the material but to also apply it in…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is guide them. What i mean by guiding them is correcting simple mistakes so that they would learn from them and remember not to make the same mistake again. I found that by making a mistake it was a lot easier to remember the correct method after being helped by my teacher. Simlarly promoting…

Tutors can provide a one-on-one situation where they're able to realise the students weaknesses and target those areas. They can also be someone else for the students to ask questions where they may be too shy or unable to during a large classroom environment. Tutoring can also help reinforce content that students learnt that day or week. I am a…

That way, the student is willing to learn new concepts, thus fostering a sense of improvement. I like to apply a variety of different methods of teaching to a student. For example, if a student does not…

I believe that the most important thing that a tutor can do is to work with a student from a student's perspective. It is exactly the reason why group-studying is so effective as everyone is on the same wavelength. A tutor's job is to be able to "read" into the student's mind and solve-problems by comfortably adjusting and improvising…

Local Reviews

Communication is great between the company and myself. My only comment is that I don't take enough time to evaluate what is sent to me which of course in my problem. Nathan, the tutor we have for our grandson is fantastic, he has helped him gain a much better understanding of his maths and already his exam results has demonstrated an improvement. Dylan is working towards achieving a high result in his HSC and his year eleven results are looking good.

Inside Padstow HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student James focused on revising algebra and the Pythagoras theorem, reinforcing problem-solving through targeted practice.

For Year 12, Nahyan worked on calculus questions from Sydney Grammar's 2020 Trials paper and reviewed areas of difficulty from her recent exam.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sophia tackled probability concepts with and without replacement, using step-by-step examples to clarify differences between each scenario.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student in Physics and Maths was observed not consistently recalling key formulae or algebraic identities from memory, making it harder to tackle exam-style questions under time pressure—"he needs to commit a couple of important formulae/identities to memory."

In senior years, another student switched from challenging trigonometry problems to easier practice, missing exposure to trickier applications.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner left some working unrecorded in BODMAS problems; when errors occurred, there was no written trail to review. This led to repeated corrections during sessions rather than smooth progress into new material.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Padstow Heights recently noticed a big shift with Jacob (Year 12), who previously hesitated on tough calculus but now works through challenging integration and differentiation problems almost independently, even tackling past exam questions without freezing up.

In Year 11, Nahyan started pausing to check her own mistakes rather than waiting for hints—she completed a whole set of trig and integration questions solo and quickly corrected any errors herself.

Meanwhile, one younger student who used to struggle with times tables is now recalling them accurately during lessons, moving on to worded multiplication problems without stopping to count.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Very happy - Su is a very good tutor and we're very happy with the tutoring thus far.

We're very happy with Kritika. Ella has taken to her easily and is really enjoying the work. I'm feeling very optimistic.

After the last session Mia said she was happy with Sam and didn't want to change to anyone else. Sam is very bright and Mia will never be an advanced Maths student but they seem to have worked out how to communicate and that just builds her confidence so she doesn't see a difficult question and get overwhelmed. Sam is also very punctual and communicates well with us as well. Even the dog likes him now.

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 Padstow Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Padstow Heights Public School.
