Psychology Tutor
I believe the most important thing a teacher can do is build a student's confidence while helping them discover their strengths and passions, fostering both growth and a love for learning. I have over two years of experience teaching preschool and primary students in English, Science, and Math. Right now, I’m taking my Master of Education, which…

Inside St LeonardsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Emily reviewed multi-digit addition and multiplication, then practised comparing and adding fractions using visual models.

Year 7 student Daniel focused on solving algebraic equations with unknowns on both sides, as well as building confidence in long division through step-by-step breakdowns.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Sarah worked through the expansion and factorisation of algebraic expressions and explored index laws, including why any number to the power of zero equals one.

Recent Challenges

In Year 5, a student hesitated to translate diagrams into equations during geometry tasks; as one tutor observed, "processing information when magnitudes of numbers are high" led to confusion in worded problems.

A Year 8 student showed reluctance to write out full algebraic working, which made it hard to spot calculation errors with negative numbers.

In senior years, several students in Years 10–11 missed key steps when factorising or simplifying indices—this sometimes resulted from over-reliance on cosmetic corrections and not responding to previous feedback.

During timed assessments, mistakes converting units (e.g., cm to m) slowed progress and eroded confidence.

Recent Achievements

One St Leonards tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 8 student who used to guess through long division but now confidently uses the "guess and verify" technique—he checks his steps, fixes errors on his own, and only asks for help when really stuck.

A Year 10 student recently began slowing down during algebra tests instead of rushing; this new habit has helped her spot mistakes before submitting work.

In a recent primary session, Caitlin, who previously hesitated with times tables, started reciting unfamiliar ones without prompting and explained how she checked her answers for accuracy.

What they say about our tutoring

The sessions are going well. My daughters have responded well to Abed. He is warm and encouraging.

Austin must be a great teacher. Got Anthony to even find it important to do homework in math.

Cobain was very happy with his first visit from Brett and we are poking forward to many more visits

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 Greenwich Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like International Chinese School.
