Tutor West Wollongong, NSW
The best thing a tutor can do for a student is listen to their needs, because it is evident in a classroom when a teacher doesn't know how to teach by the way they address the problem. Different people need the same issue explained in various ways, and so it is extremely important to have a great depth of understanding in order to communicate with…

I think that it's important for tutors to be patient and understanding. Just because a child doesn't get good test scores, it doesn't mean that they're incompetent. From my experience, kids can actually excell in subjects once they have the material explained to them in a way that they can understand. Ever since I was young, I have always excelled…

The most crucial role of a tutor is to avoid skipping steps unless the student fully comprehends the material.

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.
Simone Wright, Figtree

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.
