However, once they realized that Mathematics can actually be quite fun, their…

Tutoring is mainly about facilitating the students understanding of concepts, but the tutor should also aim to foster a drive in the student to understand why they are struggling with the respective topic and a will to seek a solution on their own. The tutor should eventually seek to equip students with self-awareness and a drive for…

I think a teacher should understand the student and try to explain in such a way in which he can not only understand the concept but also enjoy it. The class should be competitive but also it should be encouraging. A teacher should act as a mentor, facilitator and a friend. Those are the most important thing a teacher should be and it will…

I believe a tutor can impact student's lives by providing the foundation he needs for further studies. A student with a poor concept might some how pass but he will struggle in the future, or looses interest in that subject. Hence a tutor can strengthen that foundation, at the same time be a source of motivation and a be a big brother. My main…

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.
