In other words, helping them not only in the four corners of the…

I think a lot of the more important parts of tutoring is involved in the study technique and supporting students to find the motivation in themselves to study and do the work. Being the person that has got their back. Although of course the specific content they are learning is important as well. In addition a lot of students struggle with…

Local Reviews

We highly recommend Alex as a physics tutor.
Patty

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.
