Maths Tutor Russell Lea, NSW
They can get the student to engage with the subject so they can apply themselves to the subject even outside the sessions. Also, having a maths tutor to selectively fill in gaps in your knowledge is really helpful when studying for a subject. Instead of getting upset with others, I tend to try and analyse where I went wrong, allowing me to…

Being patient, empathetic, friendly and engaging, all serve to enhance the experience and learning of the student. I believe these all should be applied as equally important. I have the ability to step into someone's shoes and break a problem down to bite size level. I am very empathetic, and I think this shows in my teaching…

I believe the most important thing a maths tutor can do is help the student understand a topic. This may sound intuitive however it is often majorly overlooked and replaced with acceptance or shear memorisation for the student. What I want is for my students is a true understanding of the subject, giving them the tools of learning so that they can…

Adaptability is also a key component for a tutor as not…

The tutor must understand the student. Some students try really hard to learn but may fail to show successful results. The tutor must understand this, assure the student that he/she is making progress, and guide the student every inch of the way. Second, the tutor must consider the pursuits of the students as his/her own personal endeavor as…

Local Reviews

Hannah is a great tutor.
Katie, Russell Lea

Inside Russell LeaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Sophie worked on surface area and area of composite shapes, along with strategies for breaking down complex geometry problems.

For Year 10, Lachlan revised algebraic operations including expanding brackets and solving equations using targeted practice from his chosen workbook.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Ava focused on calculus applications by practising optimisation (max/min) problems and reviewing differentiation techniques through real exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student repeatedly left revision for major exams until the last minute and missed key Term 1 content, leading to ongoing gaps in algebra that now undermine confidence before finals.

As one tutor observed, "he has not done any work on this revision on his own."

In Standard Maths (senior), another student failed to mention a major assignment part, completing it solo instead of seeking help—missing valuable feedback and support.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student consistently crammed working onto one page without clear layout, making error tracking nearly impossible during complex algebra. These habits created confusion and wasted time during sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Russell Lea noticed some encouraging shifts lately. In Year 11, William used to rely on memorising formulas but has started asking more "why" questions and now works through problems using logical steps instead of just rules.

During a recent Year 12 session, Kyle took initiative by focusing revision on his weaker areas for an upcoming exam; he's also begun double-checking his work independently—something he avoided before.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who once hesitated to speak up is now regularly explaining how she solves math problems out loud and even volunteered to tackle the hardest question first this week.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Everything is going well with Dexter. Jordana gets on really well with her, and finds Dexter explains things very clearly, and has been a great help already with her understanding of Maths.

Jakob and Cara have a great working relationship and cover alot of content in each session. Cara's confidence and maths skills have grown considerably since commencing tutoring.

Amity is enjoying her tutouring. She is very pleased as she recently received an academic award at school meaning she had received A for all subjects for last term. So we are very happy with Xiaoya.

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 Five Dock Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Russell Lea Public School.
