English Tutor Bexley, NSW

Never giving up on a student, looking for opportunities to advance their skill is what a tutor should always do. I try to explain things from the student's perspective. For example, a gamer might…

Inspire. Children are an inspiration to their teachers. As mentioned before, children are an inspiration to me since I get to learn from them as much as they get tutored from me.

Inside OatleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Leonardo worked on calculating time, distance, and speed in word problems, and practiced adding and subtracting large numbers.

For Year 10, Jack focused on geometry by proving triangles are congruent and also reviewed algebraic methods for solving equations with unknowns.

In Year 11 Chemistry, Lachlan covered quantitative chemistry through mole calculations and explored redox reactions using practice questions from the HSC syllabus.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7, one student often jumped to conclusions in ratio and percentage problems—misreading questions led to errors when translating pie chart data. A tutor noted, "He needed reminders to read every part of the question before answering."

In Year 10 algebra, another student struggled with rearranging equations and identifying key details in worded problems; missing crucial information slowed progress.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student preparing for HSC mathematics found it difficult to maintain focus during sessions, which left some exam tasks unfinished and increased anxiety about time management as deadlines approached.

Recent Achievements

One Oatley tutor noted a big step for Evan (Year 10), who was able to independently eliminate symbols and solve simultaneous equations—a task he'd found confusing in earlier sessions.

Meanwhile, Rogan (Year 11) demonstrated real growth in chemistry by connecting valency with reactions, showing a shift from rote memorisation to genuine understanding.

On the primary side, Sofia (Year 4) moved past previous hesitation with timetables; she can now confidently select the right departure based on arrival needs—something she struggled with before.

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 Oatley Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Joseph's Catholic Primary School.
