Science Tutor Balmain, NSW
I think making students feel like they're being seen and heard is a really powerful thing, and to make clear that a tutor isn't just a fixed resource like a book or a video but someone you can interact with and learn from just from someone being there to guide you. I think learning from someone showing you is so much more powerful than just…

Inside Killarney HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Daniel revised fractions, decimals, and percentages by converting between forms and using visual models.

For Year 8, Emily focused on solving linear equations and interpreting distance–time graphs, practising both algebraic manipulation and graph plotting.

In Year 10, Sam tackled trigonometry—specifically Pythagoras' theorem—and worked through real-world measurement problems involving speed, distance, and time calculations.

Recent Challenges

Homework completion was inconsistent across both primary and high school levels. For example, a Year 8 student "did not complete his homework again," which meant less opportunity to reinforce skills between lessons.

In Year 10, one student forgot much of the previously covered material before a test; the tutor noted this suggested "he hasn't been studying and revising the content."

Messy or incorrect layout appeared in Year 9 trigonometry—where failing to keep work tidy led to confusion when applying Pythagoras' theorem.

A senior student's over-reliance on mental calculation in conversion questions ("attempted to do it in his head") resulted in repeated small errors and missed marks.

Recent Achievements

One Killarney Heights tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to get stuck on financial maths now working through compound interest problems with less prompting, showing real independence during practice.

A Year 9 student, after several sessions of struggling to identify x- and y-intercepts, confidently found both and explained how they linked to gradients without relying on hints.

In primary years, one child who'd often mixed up times tables started applying them accurately in multi-step word problems—he finished all the questions in his workbook for the first time.

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 Forestville Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Killarney Heights Public School.
