Belair's tutors include a Cambridge-educated PhD and university lecturer, an ATAR 98.9 Dux with extensive youth leadership, a medical student with multiple academic prizes, IB and SACE high achievers in maths and sciences, seasoned K–12 mentors and coaches, national award recipients, camp leaders, and accomplished musicians passionate about helping students thrive.
I'd like to highly recommend Dwight to any other families. His kind and patient demeanor translate into a great tutor. He's been very helpful. My daughter just got her results from her Algebra test which Dwight had to catch her up on as that's one of the topics she missed. She got 93%. Great result and proof of Dwights great tutoring.Tonia
Year 8 student Jamie worked on solving linear and exponential equations, using step-by-step calculator support to tackle both growth and decay scenarios.
In Year 10, Sarah practised applying the sine and cosine rules to trigonometry problems involving non-right-angled triangles, as well as working through bearing questions with diagrams.
Meanwhile, Year 6 student Oliver focused on multiplying decimals and tackling measurement tasks such as calculating surface area and volume for common 3D shapes.
In Year 8 Maths, one student repeatedly arrived without essential materials like a graph book and textbook, which led to lost learning time and avoidance of discussing progress. As one tutor noted, "He packed up as soon as he finished the last question," signaling reluctance to review or extend learning.
In Year 10, technical issues and missing equipment—such as an uncharged calculator—slowed down online lessons and left the student less prepared for digital tasks requiring graphs.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner's clumsy written work made their problem-solving process difficult for both parent and teacher to follow.
A tutor in Belair recently noticed a Year 10 student who started the term hesitant with trigonometry now confidently finding angles and sides using SOH CAH TOA, even catching the tutor's slip-ups—a big shift from earlier sessions where she needed step-by-step guidance.
Another high schooler, usually quite chatty, surprised her tutor by staying focused and harnessing pre-test nerves to push through a full session of independent study, turning stress into motivation instead of overwhelm.
Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once kept quiet is now asking thoughtful questions during lessons and even borrowed a textbook from school on her own initiative.
