The whole process of finding a tutor has been so simple, all I had to do was make the initial enquiry. We had our tutor within 24hours! Freddy is so lovely and while it is early days we can see the confidence growing in our son. We highly recommend this service...in fact I already have :)Amanda, Marrickville
Year 9 Avi worked on trigonometry, focusing on sine, cosine, and tangent rules with targeted practice questions, as well as reviewing surds for clarity.
Year 10 Luke reviewed past exam papers to address topics he found challenging and discussed areas of confusion across the syllabus in detail.
In Year 11, Avi practiced monic and non-monic quadratic factorisation and revisited line equations by working through sample test problems.
For a Year 8 student, missing school and tutorial homework led to gaps in understanding algebra and number patterns—"she wasn't understanding the content from school and there was missing school homework I noticed."
In Chemistry (Year 11), failing to memorise polyatomic ions meant techniques shown previously were not recognised in later exam questions, making revision less effective.
A Year 9 student's over-complicated diagram annotations in Science resulted in missed marks for terminology and logical structure.
Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner struggled with two-digit multiplication because times tables weren't automatic; this slowed progress on new skills.
A Stanmore tutor noticed one high school student who had previously hesitated to ask questions now actively seeking clarification during economics essay planning, leading him to correctly use diagrams in new scenarios without prompting.
Another student, after initially struggling with structuring written responses, has begun writing PEEL paragraphs independently and completed several on his own with improved clarity.
Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner who once guessed at answers now takes time to double-check her calculations for area and volume before responding—she even asked for more challenging shapes last session.
