Personal relationships are foundational to student success -- the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor creates trust and respect, essential ingredients for students to learn well. I am an expert in Math and Programming and their academic content -- I know the subject's concepts, ideas and problems inside out. I…

Do not try to impose the thought that he believes the correct solution and try to explain to the student how to arrive at the reasoning that gives the answer. I consider that I have a fairly dense knowledge in mathematics and I am able to approach problems from different perspectives to ensure that the student understands it. I am also quite…

Relatability is so important. We see a huge disconnect between teachers/tutors and students. I believe that an equal playing field with mutual respect creates a unique learning environment and nurtures encouragement.

Inside The RocksTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Maya worked on plotting graphs and identifying x- and y-intercepts, as well as understanding linear relationships through visual examples.

Year 10 student Alex focused on solving advanced trigonometry questions from a recent test and reviewed polynomials in chapter 22b.1 for deeper algebraic skills.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Emily practiced expanding and factorising quadratic expressions before tackling worded problems involving algebraic fractions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student needed frequent reminders to finish written DI work and left parts of assignments incomplete, which led to confusion during revision.

In Year 11 English, reluctant to explain effect on audience and often did not link back to topic sentence, making it hard for ideas to develop into full arguments.

A Year 9 learner forgot key steps in long division and avoided double-checking, so errors persisted across sessions.

Another senior student was not fully prepared for the test on domain and range—missing notes meant time was spent re-learning rather than building new skills.

Recent Achievements

One tutor in The Rocks noticed a big shift with a Year 9 student who used to rely heavily on worked examples but now solves algebraic fraction problems independently, showing real independence.

A Year 12 student, after struggling to organise her ideas, managed to write a detailed speech plan unprompted—something she'd avoided before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who was hesitant to ask for help has started putting her hand up when stuck and recently read an entire short paragraph aloud with only one prompt for support.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Since Ben has had Jacques tutoring, he has achieved an A++ (15/15) for his maths assignment!!!

Zach and Chaitanya are doing really well. Zach is really happy, not only with the way he's learning, but also because Chaitanya takes an interest in him as well.

Dakshi is a wonderful tutor and I feel that she and Aela are getting on very well.

Physics tutoring in The Rocks

Looking for physics tutor in The Rocks?

Most students go into physics with high hopes, eager to prove themselves, going after high grades and accomplishments. Most students also hit a roadblock sooner or later.

Those who stick with physics are usually those who had help, but not any kind of help. Students benefit most when they get help at the right time from someone who knows the right approach.

That's where we come in!

Physics Tutor The Rocks

We've found that students who are struggling need someone who will support their progress and make it easier to get the grades. They also need to be motivated and taught how to overcome issues, how to learn from each failure. Tutors we work with know that.

So, this is how it works.

We find local tutors and organise one-on-one physics tutoring in The Rocks, at your home or any other place that works for you.

There are no extra fees, just a simple hourly rate.

You don't like the tutor? No worries, it happens from time to time and we understand that! That's why the first lesson comes as a risk-free trial.

Sounds like something you might be interested in?
