A tutor can help a student to gain confidence. Usually students lose confidence and thus lose interest in a subject. Mathematics, being really important for career opportunities, is an interesting subject, we just need the right support at the right time and that's what tutors are there for. Confidence and hard work is the key to succeed in any…

One of the most important things that a tutor can do for a student is understanding and respecting them.

Inside Rooty HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Caleb revised fractions, decimals, and percentages, focusing on applying these concepts through homework tasks.

Year 8 student Agazio wrapped up a Geography assignment with emphasis on formatting and rephrasing, then moved on to structuring his English assessment using detailed examples.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student worked through solving algebraic linear equations and practiced simultaneous solving methods in line with current classroom topics.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Mathematics, a student relied heavily on calculators and avoided showing working out—this made it difficult to spot and correct errors. As noted, "He needs to reduce dependance on calculators when asked to show working out."

In Year 9 English, another student struggled with motivation and rarely explained her thought process, which left gaps in understanding during essay planning.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner was urged to write answers more clearly after messy columns led to mistakes in times tables.

The challenge of not slowing down or re-reading questions in NAPLAN practice left avoidable confusion unresolved.

Recent Achievements

One Rooty Hill tutor noticed a real shift in Ricky, a high school student who previously hesitated to attempt questions—he now takes initiative to solve problems himself, even back-checking his work independently.

Zariyah, also in high school, showed new adaptability by quickly engaging with online learning and making the most of lessons after time off.

In Year 3, Caleb's attitude improved markedly; after a long break, he jumped straight back into tasks he'd found uncomfortable before and asked for extra practice.

Last week, Amayah integrated English study into maths session without missing a beat.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you for your email.  I am really enjoying working with David, he makes the study fun and very interesting. We're working through some gaps in my knowledge and then I am greatly looking forward to getting into the much more complicated and exciting math.

Bella thinks that Benjamin is very nice and is helping her a lot so that's great.

Thank you for your note. We've really enjoyed Dan - very diligent and patient as he works Jack through some very tricky concepts. All going well at this end.

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 Mt Druitt Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Rooty Hill Public School.
