As when they feel more confident they will take tasks head on which will help improve their technical skills in the subject as well. I am very patience person who confidently believes that anyone can accomplish whatever they put their…

Reasonably quick to get going with the right tutor who made a difference to the confidence of my daughter. Worth doing for good results in the HSC.

Inside St Ives ChaseTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Ben worked on logarithms, including practice problems and test review, then moved into calculus topics such as the quotient and product rules.

For Year 10, Olivia focused on financial maths by calculating simple and compound interest, followed by work on non-linear graphing of exponentials and parabolas.

Meanwhile, Year 5 student Grace practiced long division within worded questions and solved multiple-step problems to strengthen her understanding of division in real-life contexts.

Recent Challenges

In recent senior Mathematics sessions, one Year 12 student repeatedly avoided referring back to class notes during homework—"he needs to look back at his notes when doing homework"—which led to confusion applying the product and chain rules in calculus.

Messy or incomplete working, especially with Leibniz's form, made it harder for him to spot and learn from errors.

In Year 10, another student's tendency to second-guess answers resulted in "silly mistakes" and a loss of confidence mid-task.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner found long division challenging because skipped steps weren't written out clearly, slowing progress on multi-step questions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in St Ives Chase noticed one high school student who previously struggled with fractions now works through them smoothly, after consistent focus on the basics—he even completed last week's set without needing hints.

Another Year 11 student has started developing her own memory tricks for remembering logarithm rules, a shift from relying entirely on prompts during sessions.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who used to rush through math problems now takes extra time to read each question carefully before answering, leading to fewer mistakes and more thoughtful work overall.

Ara and Steven are getting on well. I think it has helped just having someone to ask questions of outside the classroom setting. Also getting an alternate explanations is helping her really click on concepts. She is well advanced on her assignment which she has worked through with Steven. Seems to be more confident to back herself as well.

English tutoring in St Ives Chase

From basic grammar, vocabulary and spelling right up to creative writing, textual analysis and essay structuring. Each student learns at their own pace and inevitably each student will develop their own unique set of difficulties throughout the course of their schooling. The trouble at school often happens with a mismatched English teacher or a distracting classroom environment. Either way, it is quite usual that at some point most students need a bit of extra help. A temporary period of private English tutoring enables a student to receive help with their specific challenges, to clean up their weaknesses. Often the tutor sheds light on what the real challenges and their causes might be too. Whether we're playing "catch up" or trying to move ahead of the class, tailored 1-on-1 support works, that's why it's so popular.
