You can inspire a student and make him independent. The goal of a teacher (ironically) is to make himself redundant.

Inside Stanhope GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Arya focused on solving monic and non-monic equations as well as finding surface area and rearranging equations for her upcoming assessments.

In Year 11, Olivia worked through electromagnetism concepts alongside revision of the double slit experiment in Physics, using visual aids to reinforce understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Ethan concentrated on Module 5, 6, and 7 Physics revision—particularly the effects of electric and magnetic fields—tackling a range of past HSC questions for practice.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled to keep written working neat and organised, making it hard to review errors—"his working out is still difficult to read and follow," noted a tutor during algebra.

In Year 10, a student avoided writing steps for multi-step questions in trigonometry, which led to lost marks under exam conditions.

Meanwhile, one Year 5 learner often forgot key content (like negative numbers or fractions) between lessons because homework was incomplete and note-taking inconsistent.

When faced with complex networks in Year 11 maths, uncertainty around terminology like 'circuit' and 'cycle' meant extra time spent re-reading rather than solving.

Recent Achievements

In Year 11, Emily was able to look back over a past trigonometry test, pinpoint her own mistakes, and then explain how she would correct them—showing much more self-awareness than before.

Nikki, in Year 9, became noticeably more independent during algebra sessions: after struggling to rearrange formulas earlier this term, she could now group and simplify like terms on her own without prompting.

Meanwhile, Arya in Year 5 has started re-explaining new maths concepts aloud right after learning them—a big shift from staying quiet when confused.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Jack and Justin are getting along well. Jack seems to have to continued to improve since Justin started tutoring.

David did come over yesterday for a lesson with Kyle. Like you mentioned, he is a diligent and competent tutor with experience in teaching. He did put in a lot of effort even before he arrived to make sure he knew what he was dealing with. I am very happy and impressed with his teaching. Just wish we had found him earlier!

Carolina likes Deeba, whom she says is a gifted teacher, & continues to learn at what is to me an amazing rate.

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 Stanhope Garden Library/ Dennis Johnson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St John XXIII Catholic College (Secondary).
