Sometimes the same information can be summarised and presented in a different way that is just easier for some people to understand. My own capacity for learning.

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to always be there for them. As teachers/tutors, it is not all about educating them in core subjects but being there for them through rough times. We have all experienced what it is like to be a student and sometimes they go through some difficult situations and I believe that…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to offer them quality information and direct feedback on their work and areas of struggle. Additionally, a tutor should be humble such that they do not impose their own ideas onto a student, but rather walk alongside the student's journey of learning. This helps to establish a strong…

A tutor most importantly needs to understand the areas that the students need improvement. Considering their ability to grasp new concepts and learning styles, a tutor will have to design their teaching methods to suit a particular student. Lastly, a tutor should always encourage their students which will help them gain the confidence to try new…

The tutors must also be good problem solvers in order to assist students with their studies. An effective tutor will always encourage independence and…

As a tutor, what I believe to be important for a student is the ability to not only push but to better the student in their schooling career. My years of high school were spent with teachers who picked favourites and let me fade into the background. As a tutor, I would enjoy seeing the potential in someone and letting them see that for themselves.…

Local Reviews

Since the v first session with Radu, we were all totally hooked! He is not just the BEST tutor but the most amazing person. Radu has the ability to calmly install confidence into his students and ensure that they fully understand all the concepts, not just learn them.

Inside RiverhillsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Cara focused on consolidating times tables (4, 6, 7, 8, and 9) through oral quizzes and practiced converting between decimals, percentages, and fractions.

Year 11 student Sanvi worked on binomial probability (including mean and standard deviation for discrete random variables) and tackled calculus problems involving differentiation of logarithmic functions using the chain rule.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Alex reviewed integration by substitution in the context of probability density functions and revised polynomial division alongside applications of the factor theorem.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, several students hesitated to set out their reasoning clearly in integration and probability questions—one tutor noted, "he skipped stating 'by product rule' in test working," which made justifying answers harder.

In a Year 9 Chemistry session, the analysis section was left unfinished and required better organization before moving on.

For a Year 4 student, forgetting to keep a homework notebook meant tasks were often missed or incomplete.

During advanced trigonometry (Year 12), relying heavily on calculators for standard values led to gaps when tackling unfamiliar problems without technology in assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Riverhills tutor noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with integration by substitution, now independently applies the method to tackle unfamiliar calculus problems.

In another session, a high schooler working on chemistry assignments has started her work early for the first time and is now connecting concepts across topics without prompting—a big shift from previously leaving tasks until the last minute.

Meanwhile, Cara in Year 4 has moved from relying on notes for times tables to scoring full marks in quizzes purely from memory and now volunteers to try new problem types before being asked.

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 Mount Ommaney Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Middle Park State School.
