Tutor Mount Riverview, NSW
Finding ways to explain complex or confusing ideas and skills in ways that the student can understand and relate to. I also believe that building a student's confidence is crucial. not just in exam situations but in and out of class so they can engage better with the material. I believe that I am exemplary at forming strong personal connections…

Tutor Blaxland, NSW
To bring students to the truth, help them critically think, give them confidence in their personhood and to plant a real desire and love for learning. I'm good at analogies and explaining things in different ways depending on whom I'm speaking with. I'm also of a relaxed personality and so won't put unnecessary pressures on the…

Tutor Emu Plains, NSW
Whilst teaching content is important, instilling a positive attitude towards learning is the most important thing a tutor can do for a student, encouraging students to have a go and supporting them no matter the outcome is crucial to support their learning not only while they are your student but also for their future learning. My strengths as a…

Tutor Linden, NSW
Teaching the student to be motivated to learn, and how to learn and access the resources they need to learn is the most important things a tutor can do for a student. Once the student is confident that they can learn, they can become a much better independent learner, and require much tutelage outside of class. I consider one of my most useful…

Tutor Woodford, NSW
I can be there for a student and reassure them that human brains are sometimes complicated but once you take down the barriers to learning, then you can really take off. It's alright to be confused, it's a sign you're thinking. You're almost there, and if we talk about it and try some simpler examples, then it will all fall into place. Since 2019…

Kai is lovely and has such a natural approach with the kids.

Inside Valley HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Grace worked on identifying and ordering the letters of the alphabet as well as practising reading simple sentences.

In Year 9, Alexia focused on solving algebraic equations and using these skills to find areas of complex shapes, while also preparing for her test by revising multiplying and dividing algebraic expressions.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student covered key Financial Maths topics including calculating tax, Medicare levy, taxable income, and interpreting exam-style questions using past papers.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 Maths, a student struggled with multi-step tax and financial calculations, but tended to avoid reworking questions independently—"she needs to gain more confidence in calculating taxable income," one note observed.

In Year 11, another student forgot to bring formula sheets and had not revised prior topics, making it harder to link area formulas for composite shapes during problem-solving.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student reviewing algebra repeatedly overlooked sign conventions ("be careful of the sign conventions"), leading to repeated errors that slowed progress through new content.

Each moment saw extra time spent retracing steps instead of building mastery.

Recent Achievements

In Year 10, Tariq had previously needed a lot of guidance with percentages and Pythagoras' Theorem, but last session he worked out the length of unknown triangle sides using the theorem mostly on his own, only asking for help when really stuck.

Isabelle (Year 9) started off unsure about calculating area and perimeter of complex shapes; now she accurately finds these for trapeziums and cylinders without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Lillian (Year 5) used to rush her spelling, but this week she took time to spell every word on her list correctly during her test.

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 Blue Mountains Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Blue Mountains Grammar Preparatory School campus.
