Pat is an excellent tutor. Daphne enjoying learning Maths again. Looking forward to seeing the results in her tests at school.Helen, Annandale
Year 4 student Yash explored area and perimeter of triangles, along with multiplying and adding decimals and large numbers, finishing up with some long division for fluency.
In Year 10, Michelle focused on applying the perfect squares method to solve parabolas and used the discriminant to analyse tangent and secant scenarios.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ben worked through conditional probability problems using Venn diagrams and tackled non-linear relationships in algebraic contexts.
A Year 11 student did not complete the assigned homework, which limited her confidence when facing new equation types—"she needed more practice to feel ready with the answers."
In Year 9, a student became stuck on lengthy worded problems, especially when unfamiliar vocabulary appeared; this slowed progress even if those words were not essential.
For a Year 4 learner, confusion between letters like 'b' and 'd' meant she relied heavily on an adult's help to get through reading tasks.
During algebra in Year 8, "he skipped steps while solving," causing hidden errors that required extra correction time mid-session.
A tutor in Ultimo recently saw a Year 11 student who'd struggled with financial maths revisit her old exam errors—this time, she could solve those tricky problems independently after targeted practice.
A Year 9 student, who used to hesitate when stuck, now openly asks the tutor to repeat explanations if something's unclear and even volunteered to try extra word problems on her own.
In a primary session, one young learner began reading short passages aloud smoothly for the first time once promised regular breaks; before, she'd quietly avoid reading out loud at all.
We have all had the experience of a "bad teacher" and we know it's not pleasant. Often the teacher is simply a bad match for that particular student rather than being a "bad teacher" in general but in either case the student has a serious problem. This is why many parents contact us for a private tutor - their child just can't "get it" when their teacher is teaching.
It's incredible how one explanation results in more confusion whereas another results in that "aha" feeling we all love so much! It is really a matter of getting the "right" tutor and not the "best" one. We see this every day in our work. A tutor might have hundreds of hours of experience and might have received dozens of testimonials from students, however, even such a tutor doesn't click with all students. Every tutor gets bad feedback sometimes. It's all about getting the right fit and this is what we do!
We will organise a 1-on-1 maths tutor in Ultimo to come to your home at a time of your choosing. They will be a local Ultimo maths tutor so scheduling lessons will be easy. Also, no booking fees, no minimum terms, no cancellation costs, no nonsense! And here's the best thing: your first lesson is a trial. So if you feel that the tutor wasn't a good fit, we'll organise someone else. It's our Good Fit Guarantee.
