Ancient History Tutor Warrawee, NSW
I believe one of the things a tutor should find important is to help find coping mechanisms the students can use to ease their exam anxiety. As well as that I believe a tutor should work at the pace that best suits the student rather than the tutor. I believe that I am an outgoing, confident and kind person who can get along with all types of…

Ally's tutoring is going well and Gopi is very nice. Ally's report was very positive and that makes me happy. I have spoken to Gopi about Ally's progress and informed her that we would like to extend Alexandra in Maths.

Inside Denistone WestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student John focused on mastering addition, multiplication, and division of fractions, along with practice simplifying fractions using short quizzes and step-by-step examples.

In Year 11, Amber worked through financial mathematics topics including loans and annuities, tackling loan repayment tables and real-world calculation exercises from Chapter 4.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Hannah concentrated on advanced trigonometry questions—specifically trig graphing and equations—then reviewed log laws by analysing exam-style problems she found challenging in her homework.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 maths, one student repeatedly tried to solve fraction problems mentally rather than writing out steps; as a tutor noted, "when taken through the steps he is able to complete them, however struggled when he attempted to do the question in his head." This led to confusion and errors.

In Year 12 economics, another student's notes showed limited use of subject-specific terminology—terms like 'balance of payments' were not consistently recorded or reviewed, which slowed their progress on more complex questions.

For a Year 11 physics lesson, missing foundational definitions (such as volts and resistance) meant exam-style circuit problems took longer than expected.

Recent Achievements

A Year 11 student in Denistone West, who was initially unsure about integrating logarithms, became much more confident applying the reverse chain rule after some practice. She even started tackling tougher questions on her own.

Another high school student showed real progress in economics; after previously mixing up interest rates and monetary policy, he could now explain how changes by the RBA affect investment and exchange rates without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who used to rush through maths problems is now carefully showing all his working out rather than just aiming for the answer.

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 West Ryde Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ermington Public School.
