Max has made a difference to my daughters learning approach and understanding of her maths. My daughter said to me that it is the first time she understood the work given to her. Thank you Max, keep up the great standard of tutoring..Sophie Fisher
Year 5 student Lily worked on multiplying mixed fractions and dividing fractions, using visual aids to clarify each step.
In Year 8, Josh tackled rearranging formulas to make a chosen variable the subject and substituted values into equations for practice with algebraic manipulation.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student Chloe focused on financial maths, including calculating profit and understanding cost price versus selling price as part of her upcoming assessment preparation.
In Year 7, one student found it difficult to consistently show working for trigonometry problems; she often skipped steps when rearranging SOHCAHTOA, making it harder to catch sign errors later.
A Year 9 learner practicing worded algebraic equations hesitated to translate descriptions into equations, sometimes leaving diagrams incomplete or unclear—this meant the core of multi-step questions was missed.
At a senior level, a Year 11 student attempted tax calculation questions but relied on notes rather than memorising formulas, which slowed progress under timed conditions and left gaps when notes weren't available in practice exams.
One Patonga tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to skip tricky algebra steps now working through each part, even asking for clarification instead of guessing.
In Year 8, a student who often mixed up formulas started bringing prepared questions to sessions and could independently identify which formula to use for composite shape areas.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner—who previously hesitated when comparing fractions—recently explained why 3/5 is larger than 2/5 without prompting, showing real reasoning rather than just guessing the answer.
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 Patonga. 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!
