This will be able to help me adapt to their learning strategies and make the tutoring most beneficial for the student. I am a committed tutor…

I consider working on the clarity of concept as the most important thing. The concept once built, can be polished by recalling it several times when solving directly or indirectly related problems. Overall, the student should be able to process new information and solve the related problems on its own. My strengths are as follows: 1. The way…

The most important thing a tutor can do is make the student passionate about their subject. If the student isn't motivated to learn, no amount of lecturing or assignments will help them.

Things are going well with Amelia's tutoring and we are happy so far with the help Justin has given her. There was a decent improvement in her last maths assessment performance so that's a good sign!

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.
