Tutoring to me is about ensuring the student can feel comfortable in their understanding and are not afraid to ask for help, and can do so without any judgement. In the past I have known school teachers to somewhat look down on students for lack of comprehension around maths problems and will aim to ensure that no student feels this way and will…

Some of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is ensuring that the student knows the content that has been taught. Also make sure that you are listening to the student and try to minimise their weaknesses and maximise their strengths. As a tutor, my strengths are being confident and only speaking what I know of. I will only teach…

Understanding what they understand and don't. If you don't adapt accordingly, not only will it take longer, but even if you can help them understand, you won't foster a sense of confidence in the student for further studies. Adaptability and a deeper understanding of the subject matter I'm teaching, which lets me approach problems from different…

Local Reviews

They have been amazing! They paired my young daughter with a great tutor who has already built her skills and confidence. For the first time my daughter loves doing math with her tutor! By having the sessions in my house has also really helped them build a positive relationship and means I don't need to be rushing around after school. It's early days, but I'm positive this was the best decision we could've made for our daughter.

Inside WarranwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Alex focused on adding and multiplying fractions with different denominators, and also practised converting fractions to decimals.

For Year 9, Sam reviewed how to convert between fractions, percentages, and decimals in simplest form, along with simplifying expressions using the distributive law and writing numbers in scientific notation.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Emily worked through simplifying surds and rationalising denominators, using step-by-step examples for each calculation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 mathematics, one student tended to copy worked examples rather than attempt problems independently; as noted, "needs to try working independently and thinking actively instead of just waiting and copying the solutions." This habit limited true understanding during algebra tasks.

A Year 10 student struggled with organization, often bringing large volumes of notes but rarely referencing them efficiently in SAC preparation—leaving key information unused during practice.

For a Year 11 methods lesson, an over-reliance on calculators meant steps in simultaneous equations were skipped; errors went unnoticed until review.

In a Year 4 arithmetic session, messy written work made it hard to follow fraction calculations.

Recent Achievements

One Warranwood tutor noticed a real shift in a Year 9 student who, after struggling to connect formulas to worded measurement problems, now reliably selects the right units and strategies without prompting.

In a senior session, Alex independently recognised mistakes from past tests and used those insights to solve new exam questions—something she hadn't done before when she'd freeze on unfamiliar problems. This independent error recognition marks a major breakthrough.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student recently surprised her tutor by asking specific questions about homework rather than waiting for help, showing new initiative during sessions.

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 Croydon Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Warranwood Primary School.
