I believe that it is important for a student to enjoy what they are studying as their happiness is important. Through this, they understand and remember better! I believe I…

A tutor should realize that once upon a time, they themselves were a student who must have struggled with certain subjects and also fared well in certain other subjects. And they should realize from their own experience how much of a difference can a good teacher bring into the lives of students. A good tutor will leverage their own experience as…

Local Reviews

The whole process was really easy. We switched sessions a few times and nothing was a problem for them, they were very accommodating.
Anne, Putney

Inside PutneyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Amber worked through a chemistry worksheet on radioactive decay and also reviewed chemical bonding for an upcoming assessment.

In Year 10, Michael focused on interpreting box and whisker plots to understand range and interquartile range, alongside tackling data processing questions from his textbook.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Liam practiced the basics of trigonometry using right-angled triangle problems, reinforcing foundational skills with targeted exercises.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled to recall past mathematics content quickly, with a tutor noting, "she needs to practice more and do the homework," as life distractions affected her focus.

In Year 12 Economics, one student was advised to review case study work before an exam but showed a tendency to only revise familiar material rather than tackle new essay structures or definitions.

For a Year 8 student, difficulty arose in remembering which formulae applied during circle problems, especially without regular revision.

When confidence dropped after setbacks—like confusing equation labels in Year 9—the urge to avoid challenging tasks crept in.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Putney noticed one Year 12 student who had struggled with writing structured business report paragraphs was able to produce her first full paragraph independently last session—a real leap from needing step-by-step guidance.

In a recent Year 11 economics session, a student who previously missed links between inflation and other objectives could now explain these connections without prompting, showing clear growth in analytical thinking.

Meanwhile, Erin in Year 6, who often hesitated with new problem-solving methods, began using a "work backwards" approach for network questions after some encouragement and stuck with it through the whole worksheet.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Both Thomasine and Luke are liking Scott as well. He has always been on time and is very polite. Jonathan and I can't believe our luck!

Adele is very happy with Irina. We have already seen results. In her last in class quiz, she came 5th in the class. An improvement from a few weeks ago when Adele got 3/15 for the class quiz.

We have just had our first session with John and I am writing to let you know how impressed I am with John. He was on time, polite and dressed professionally . His calm manner with Oliver was great. Oliver really enjoyed it and liked John very much . I am looking forward to many more positive sessions that result in Oliver improving .

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