I believe that the greatest affect that a good tutor can do for a student is to infatuate the student into the subject, meaning to truly engage and interest the student in the topic. Once this happens the student will grow a love for the subject, leading them to career paths regarding this subject. This will more importantly grow a work ethic for…

The tutor can find a common wavelength and understand the student's way of grasping. Every student has a different way of learning and perceive stuff. i find out different ways to solve one question.

Inside WooloowinTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Jess reviewed taxation maths missed during class and revisited surd and indices, focusing on rule recall and application.

In Year 10, Jackson practised projectile motion calculations in physics and worked through a practice test covering electromagnetism, interpolation, and extrapolation.

For Year 11, Olivia tackled monic and non-monic quadratic factorisation and solving equations, using targeted problem sets to consolidate her understanding of different methods.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student repeatedly left homework unfinished, explaining, "could not find book"—this meant vital practice with equations and algebra was missed.

In Year 8, messy working made it difficult to spot calculation errors when factorising quadratics; as a tutor noted, "legibility and setting out of working" limited progress on harder problems.

A senior chemistry student showed over-reliance on notes instead of recalling formulae during molar concentration tasks.

Meanwhile, in Year 7, confidence dips after setbacks led to hesitancy in tackling worded ratio questions—long pauses before starting each part, even when the steps were familiar.

Recent Achievements

One Wooloowin tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously rushed through homework now taking time to check each step, catching her own mistakes on practice tests instead of waiting for help.

In Year 10, a student who used to avoid class participation began asking for tougher questions after finally mastering simultaneous equations by substitution—something he'd struggled with all term.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner who once hesitated to start assignments is now gathering evidence and setting out answers independently; last session she finished her worksheet without any prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you for your e-mail.  I have spoken to Wen from the beginning about how he finds the tutoring with Charles.  Wen advised that he is happy with Charles as Charles is very kind and very understanding tutor. Wen said Charles communicate with ease and that makes it easier for Wen to understand.  Wen said he likes that Charles teaches him the faster and straight forward methods as it is less confusing.  Wen said he has been attempting harder questions with Charles which in turn gives him more confidence to attempt them.

We are very happy with Harriet , thanks. Mikayla has found it very easy to relate to her , and Harriet is always approachable and responsive. As it has only been a couple of weeks and is now school holidays , we haven't got any school results to go on however I am sure we will start to see results in this area. We had a negative experience with tutoring in the past (different organisation) , so we were reluctant to go down this path again , however I think we will have success with Harriet.

I thought our tutor was very good, and was very happy with the professionalism. Many thanks Keep up the good work.,

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 Grange Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wooloowin State School.
