Haberfield's tutors include an International Chemistry Quiz Distinction recipient and school top 10% scholar, a North Sydney Boys High maths mentor with Olympiad prizes and peer leadership experience, a UNSW Talented Students Program participant who ranked first in HSC Biology and second in Extension Maths, plus recent IB graduates, university researchers, and seasoned K–12 subject specialists.
Shaneel made a great first impression with my son, Jack. Jack maintained his level of interest and concentration throughout the hour session (which we were surprised at as this is often a problem for him!) and he is already looking forward to his next session with him.Lizzie, Lewisham
Year 4 student Billy focused on multiplication strategies in maths and improved reading comprehension by discussing short texts together.
For Year 10, Sulaiman worked through analysis of the film Billy Elliot, identifying cinematic techniques for his English assignment, and practiced applying algebraic methods to his ongoing maths assignment.
Meanwhile, Year 12 student Maya tackled logarithmic functions and index laws, reviewing key steps using targeted exam-style questions to consolidate understanding.
In Year 8 English, one student did not complete assigned homework, limiting their progress in written expression and critical thinking. "He needs to complete the homework I set him so that he develops the skill of expressing himself," a tutor noted.
For a Year 10 Film Studies class, another student struggled with interpreting symbolism and film techniques but avoided asking clarifying questions, leading to repeated confusion when analysing scenes.
Meanwhile, in Year 12 Mathematics, over-reliance on calculators meant steps for logarithmic proofs were skipped—errors went unnoticed until marked work was returned. This left students unsure about where their reasoning broke down during exams.
A tutor in Haberfield noticed Sulaiman, a senior student, taking real initiative with his film analysis—he's now making points without prompts and even brought extra notes from home to discuss.
Another high schooler, Isabella, had previously struggled with the polar form of complex numbers but was able to explain her reasoning out loud this week after some guided practice.
For a younger learner, Chloe has shifted from guessing answers on her reading tasks to pausing and sounding out unfamiliar words carefully; today she finished an entire comprehension worksheet independently for the first time.
