I think, its a tutor's responsibility in helping the student to understand their inner potential by suggesting ways to broaden their skill sets, pushing their boundary to convey that there is much to learn in life. Other than being a punctual and effective educator, I am flexible by allowing my students to learn in their own phase. It makes them…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be able to listen and understand from the students perspective, so that they are able to teach them in the manner that is best for the student.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is recognise what, precisely, the student is struggling with and to tailor explanations of concepts in ways that the student will respond to. For example, a major conceptual hurdle for high school students can be learning about logarithms for the first time. Often the root of confusion…

In addition to improving the student's understanding of a particular subject area, the real value comes from: (1) learning *how* to learn; in other words, getting to understand the many resources available (web and paper), attacking the problem, and getting the answer independently. This is empowering for the student, and essential for further…

Local Reviews

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.
Tracey, St Ives Chase

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.

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 St Ives Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Ives North Public School.
