Modern History Tutor Grasmere, NSW
Encourage the student that mistakes are okay and they are made even by experts; create a positive atmosphere whilst tutoring; remain patient and explain a concept clearly when the student does not understand; and being compassionate to their needs and learning ability. My strengths would be the ability to be patient, highly organised, assertive…

Modern History Tutor Elderslie, NSW
A tutor must act as a mentor for the student to grow in their goals. When I was tutoring primary students I found that their teacher would often just provide them with answers and ask them to memorise it rather than lead them to reach the answers themselves. I disagree with this mentality, finding that the most important aspect of tutoring is…

Modern History Tutor Elderslie, NSW
Patience and determination, I believe those are the key ingredients in ensuring a student can reach the best of their capabilities in learning. Having the ability to ensure that your student can understand the lessons through techniques that you use to cater to their learning style is also vital. Back when I was in High School, there were…

A fantastic tutor for my 14yo son. So patient, makes the lessons fun and doesn't mind going over things again and again until he understands. Highly recommended

Inside RazorbackTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Lily focused on long addition, subtraction, and division, as well as rounding numbers and multiplying/dividing by 10 using practical examples.

For Year 9, Michael tackled data dot plots alongside stem-and-leaf plots, and reviewed key skills in calculating surface area of cylinders.

In Year 12, Sarah worked through mathematical induction proofs before applying max and min techniques to past HSC questions for advanced problem-solving practice.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 mathematics, incomplete revision before a geometry test left gaps—"did not review it before her test, only had one week before"—so important methods weren't fully consolidated.

A Year 9 student avoided making summary sheets for algebra and inequalities, meaning key steps were missed when working through complex problems.

In senior calculus (Year 12), "needs to work on recognising differentiation rules," but the habit of practicing only familiar examples slowed progress on harder integration questions during timed exercises.

When homework or set exercises were skipped, students entered lessons less prepared and needed more time just to catch up.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Razorback noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask for help now regularly speaks up when stuck, making far fewer mistakes in her algebra work.

Another high schooler, after struggling with trig identities, started applying the process of elimination independently and managed to prove several on his own last session.

In Year 4 maths, one student who used to guess at long multiplication problems has begun using written steps and asks for clarification when unsure, showing more accuracy each week. Last lesson, he completed all ten questions without guessing once.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Mina is a very helpful teacher who has allowed me to regain confidence. There are times when I do get stuck on some topics, but Mina will know when I need help and she will focus on that topic a bit more. She gives me a wide range of different questions which prepare me for my tests. Her work ethic is an extra bonus which allows me to feel more motivated about maths and makes me feel more confident in harder areas. I recommend Mina to anyone who is looking for a kind and positive teacher who builds up confidence and knowledge. Mina is a hard worker and doesn't put her students down and encourages them even when they aren't understanding the topic.

At this point, we are happy with the way things are progressing. Ryan seems a bright and capable young man and Kirsten does feel the sessions are assisting her.

We have been very happy with Matthew and importantly, Xavier has worked well with Matthew and has found the tutoring beneficial.

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