The most significant thing of teacher can motivate students to earn knowledge. As well as they can guide their student by understanding their own way of learning. So, I think every student's learning technique is different. At first, I need to understand the enjoyable way of my student learning procedure. For example, some students enjoy learning…

I believe the most important things a physics tutor can do are to build the student’s confidence, make learning approachable, and create a safe space where they feel comfortable asking questions. It’s not just about helping them get the right answers, but about helping them understand the why behind what they’re learning. A good tutor should…

The most crucial role of a physics tutor is to avoid skipping steps unless the student fully comprehends the material. Observing problem-solving methods can be helpful, but it's the student's grasp of the logical progression behind solving problems that enables them to excel. I strive to leverage my communication skills and adaptability to discern…

Personally, a physics tutor is someone outside of school who the student can rely on for their studies. Students show their vulnerability here so that tutor can build them to be strong at school. So a tutor can help the student be strong on their subjects and understand the subject with life. Understanding the student on what they need first and…

To give them confidence and make them feel good about themselves.

That, to me, is the most important thing. The greatest strength my students have commented on is my ability…

I think a physics tutor should provide a fun, engaging and different approach to studying. A tutor should ask questions in a way a teacher hasn't got the time to do. They should always ask what the student wants and implement strategies as to how to attain these goals. But, perhaps at the forefront of responsibility, a tutor should always make…

Local Reviews

Quality and experienced maths tutoring from Jes. This whole experience has been so personalised and streamlined and has given me such peace of mind. The first hour free was such a bonus. The phone call follow up from start to finish was great. I would not hesitate to recommend this tutoring service to anyone. My daughter was doubtful at first but there was an immediate change in her maths outlook for a great start to high school.

Inside FigtreeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Isla worked on simplifying fractions and understanding order of operations, also converting numbers to percentages.

For Year 9, Tom tackled algebraic expressions as well as survey-based questions from his worksheets.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Natalia focused on key concepts in algebra and completed final exercises with feedback to consolidate her skills.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student revising transformations in Maths skipped horizontal reflection and scaling, leading to confusion when new examples appeared—"he'll need to revisit these areas for clarity," the tutor noted.

In Year 2, one learner's sums suffered when she rushed through calculations, sometimes forgetting whether to add or subtract; homework showed improvement, but quiz settings brought back the habit.

Meanwhile, a tired Year 3 child lost focus during backwards counting, stalling progress with place value changes.

Across senior grades (Years 10–12), several students reviewed solutions only superficially before exams, leaving them unable to independently reconstruct steps under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

A Figtree tutor recently noticed Annabelle, a Year 11 student, quickly grasped horizontal and vertical transpositions of x² graphs—something she'd hesitated with in earlier sessions.

Tyson (Year 9) made a shift from waiting for answers to recalling information himself when prompted, then applying it directly to questions without second-guessing.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student surprised her tutor by completing all her homework with zero mistakes after previously struggling to remember carrying tens during addition; she even tackled simple subtraction independently.

In the same week, Natalia worked through algebra problems on her own for the first time after initial uncertainty.

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 Eagle Vale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Figtree Heights Public School.
