I also think compassion and understanding are necessary traits for tutors. Every student learns at different paces, and can grasp certain topics quicker than others. Patience…

Inside RedfernTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Lily worked through perimeter and multiplication skills, using both traditional exercises and interactive math games to boost engagement.

For Year 7, James focused on algebraic expressions including expanding like terms as well as powers, practicing with step-by-step examples.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Priya developed her understanding of probability concepts and direct versus indirect proportionality, applying these ideas to real-world scenarios for clearer comprehension.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 mathematics, difficulty was observed with setting out clear lines of reasoning when tackling probability problems; as one tutor put it, "she knows the subject well, but has trouble putting together the line of reasoning."

In a Year 7 lesson on fractions and division by decimals, written working sometimes became messy or incomplete, making it harder to identify where confusion arose.

A senior student avoided showing all steps in algebraic expansions during revision, which led to repeated sign errors and slower progress.

When reviewing multiplication tables (Years 3–5), some learners relied heavily on verbal recall instead of written practice, slowing mastery.

Recent Achievements

A Redfern tutor noticed a Year 11 student who initially struggled to explain her reasoning in probability is now confidently breaking problems into logical steps before solving them.

In Year 8, Sara recently showed real initiative during algebra—she now asks for extra practice with combining like terms, instead of waiting for direction, which marks a big shift from her earlier passivity.

Meanwhile, Lily in primary school has started double-checking her answers on complex fraction and area questions without being prompted; just last week she chose to rework a perimeter problem until every step matched the question's requirements.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Cohen has been very good and encouraging. I feel that Olivia is starting to feel more confident with her maths. Thanks.

Everything is going well with Warit. Evan is happy with him so far. I trust that will continue.  He's comfortable to ask if he doesn't understand something. Warit has given Evan some good maths tips with his times tables that Evan has understood.

Emily is doing very well and Melanie is great. Emily is really comfortable with her and although it is early days she is improving. I am really happy with Melanie and the progress so far.

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 Waterloo Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Inner Sydney High School.
