Science Tutor Mayfield, NSW
I believe a great tutor goes beyond just increasing a student's marks- they are able to act as a mentor and oversee a student's education holistically. For example, I also guided one of my previous students through his year 12 year, helping him with the university admissions process and scholarship applications, where he is now studying…

Science Tutor Callaghan, NSW
A tutor can help create a safe environment for a child to voice their concerns with learning which they may feel unable to do in a class setting. Having one-on-one tutor sessions can also help a child to target exactly what they are struggling with. A tutor also has more time with that student to assess what they are good at in order to keep…

Science Tutor Carrington, NSW
Making a student as confident as possible is the upmost important aspect of tutoring in my mind. This is because, no matter how many hours are spent studying, if a student is not confident within themselves, in exam settings they will constantly doubt themselves and make avoidable mistakes. Therefore, building students confidence is the most…

Inside CharlestownTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 8 student Liam focused on mastering the quadratic formula and completing the square to solve quadratic equations, working through targeted practice problems.
For Year 10, Jade explored financial mathematics concepts, including calculating simple interest from worded scenarios and breaking down compound interest and depreciation questions into steps.
Meanwhile, a Year 11 student, Michael, revised preliminary HSC topics in calculus—differentiation basics—and strengthened his understanding of functions and polynomials by tackling past exam-style questions.
Recent Challenges
In Year 10, one student showed gaps in test time management—"struggled to finish the final questions on algebra under timed conditions," as noted by a tutor.
In Year 11 Chemistry, another student avoided checking calculator inputs during titration calculations, leading to errors that went unnoticed until reviewing answers later.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner hesitated to write down working for multiplication problems, preferring mental calculation but often losing track of place value beyond thousands.
During senior Biology revision, reluctance to actively quiz themselves before exams meant important concepts remained untested—confidence dipped when unexpected topics appeared in practice papers.
Recent Achievements
A Charlestown tutor noticed one Year 11 student who used to rush through financial maths now double-checks each step and can interpret tricky worded questions with far less prompting, a big shift from needing hints every few minutes.
In Year 9, a student who was hesitant to speak up started telling the tutor when she hit a roadblock, then worked through indices problems independently by naming her mistakes out loud—something she'd avoided before.
Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner surprised everyone by nailing all his addition and subtraction tasks, even pushing himself to tackle more complex numbers after finishing early.

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 Charlestown Library, walyamayi—or at your child's school (with permission), like Charlestown Public School.
