Highbury's tutors include a seasoned primary teacher with international experience and a PGCE, a maths specialist with seven years of high school teaching, an English expert with decades of global classroom leadership, PhD and university medal recipients, accomplished peer mentors, early childhood educators, and science graduates dedicated to guiding K–12 students.
Tommi is learning so much every week he is with ramzy and his grades at school in math class have improved dramatically. We have previously hired other maths tutors, but none other have helped like Ramzy has. Tommi has said that maths is now an enjoyable subject and looks forward to his tutoring when needed. 5 star rating and will be recommending to others.Samantha, Highbury
Year 4 student Bella focused on spelling and punctuation in English, along with practising addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division using engaging activities like Snakes and Ladders.
In Year 10, Emily worked through trigonometry problems involving the cosine rule and applied these skills to worded questions from her schoolwork.
For Year 11, Jay tackled statistics investigations by analysing data sets and interpreting box plots to prepare for upcoming assessments.
Several high school students struggled with organization and revision habits.
In Year 11, one student forgot to bring their books, leading to "less related questions" tackled during the session—key practice was missed as a result.
Another Year 10 student made cheat sheets but focused only on familiar material, limiting exposure to tougher algebra problems.
A Year 12 learner over-relied on calculators for standard deviation tasks; when asked to work without one, progress stalled.
As a tutor noted, "needed re-explaining at least twice before remembering," highlighting that repeated gaps in written working or incomplete notes can leave concepts unanchored before exams.
One Highbury tutor recently saw a Year 11 student who'd been stuck on the sine and cosine rules finally solve triangle problems independently after struggling to remember when to use each rule.
In another session, a Year 9 student who previously guessed at answers started asking clarifying questions about rearranging equations before attempting them—showing a real shift from passive to active learning.
Meanwhile, a younger primary student surprised her tutor by reading an entire phonics sentence aloud without pausing for help, having hesitated just weeks earlier.
