Modern History Tutor Penrith, NSW
When I was at school, my favourite teachers were always the relatable ones who were genuinely interested in me, my hobbies and my life. This connection is important for many reasons, not only to be a good tutor but to also be a confidant in times of crisis. In the past I have worked with children who had special needs. Being close to the student…

Local Reviews

EzyMath listened to what we needed in a tutor for our daughter. They found someone within our school area. Our daughter's tutor, Cassie has been an absolute blessing. She is both competent and very approachable. She has helped our daughter gain confidence and competency in a subject which is not her forte.

Inside GlenbrookTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Alex focused on perimeter and area, then explored volume by working through practical measurement questions.

Year 8 student Zoe worked on dividing a quantity according to given ratios and calculating rates, applying these skills to real-life scenarios.

For Year 10, Jamie revised Financial Maths topics such as calculating tax and Medicare levy, along with practice problems on taxable income and refunds using sample exam worksheets.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled to retain key algebraic methods and sign conventions, with a tutor noting, "forgetting whether a constant was positive or negative led to repeated calculation errors." This difficulty was linked to revising only familiar material, rather than consolidating past topics as recommended.

Meanwhile, a senior student preparing for financial maths avoided reattempting harder tax and income questions after setbacks—missing opportunities to address persistent misunderstandings.

In Year 1, messy letter formation made writing tasks slower and more confusing; "he mixed up 'j' and 'i'," which impacted spelling practice. This slowed progress in both reading and written work.

Recent Achievements

One Glenbrook tutor noticed that a Year 9 student, who had previously hesitated to ask for clarification, now actively pauses mid-problem to check her approach before moving on—especially with tricky algebra questions.

During recent sessions, a Year 11 student began independently revisiting errors from her last Financial Maths exam, explaining where she went wrong and how she'd tackle similar problems differently next time.

In primary school, Charbel has become much more focused during reading activities and now confidently sounds out unfamiliar words aloud rather than skipping them—something he was reluctant to attempt just a few weeks ago.

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 Blaxland Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Glenbrook Public School.
