Question 6

What is the student—tutor ratio in group tutorials?

Accepted Answer

Our small-group tutorials typically have 2–4 students. We deliberately keep groups small to maximise the individual attention each student receives while still providing the benefits of collaborative learning. Students work through problems under the tutor's guidance and learn from observing how others approach questions.

Question 7

How do I pay for tuition fees?

Accepted Answer

After four tutorials, an invoice is emailed to parents with fee details and payment options, including:

• Cash or card at the tuition centre
 • Credit card payment over the phone
 • Direct deposit
 • PayID

Question 8

Do you assign homework?

Accepted Answer

Primary School: Yes. Many Australian primary schools don't assign enough maths homework for students to develop the practice and problem-solving skills vital for mastering mathematics. We typically provide additional study material for younger students to practise at home.

Lower Secondary: It depends on the student's school. Some schools don't assign sufficient homework for adequate learning. In these cases, we're happy to provide additional practice material and extra questions for test and exam preparation.

Upper Secondary: Year 11 and 12 students typically receive adequate homework from their schools, but we provide additional practice questions for tests and exams as needed.

Question 9

What teaching resources and methods do you use?

Accepted Answer

Resource Centre: Our tutoring centre maintains an extensive library of textbooks, notes, sample exam papers, and worked solutions that are incorporated into tutorials.

Teaching Methods: Lessons are tailored to each student's needs and consist of:

• Detailed explanations of key concepts
 • Line-by-line worked examples of typical questions
 • Students attempting a wide variety of questions from multiple sources
 • Problem-solving practice with more challenging questions

Our Philosophy on Technology: We deliberately minimize technology use in tutorials to facilitate better kinesthetic learning. Research shows that handwriting notes leads to better memory retention and understanding than typing. For younger students especially, we limit calculator use to improve arithmetic abilities, numerical intuition, and foundational skills that support higher-level mathematics.

Question 10

How do I enrol my child in your tuition program?

Question 11

Do I need to sign a contract?

Question 13

Is a student charged a lesson fee if they cannot attend an appointment?

Question 14

Do you go to student's homes?

Accepted Answer

No, tuition is only available at our Nedlands centre or online. The centre's extensive library of educational resources is a key part of what makes our lessons effective, providing access to a wide range of textbooks, practice materials, and exam papers that wouldn't be available in a home setting.

Question 15

Is there a minimum number of tutorials that need to be booked?

Accepted Answer

No. There's no contract to sign, and students don't need to commit to a term or minimum number of sessions. We believe in earning your continued business through results, not contracts. However, parents do agree to our cancellation policy (see below for details).

Question 16

Is the tutor experienced?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our tutor has over 30 years of experience in mathematics and science education and is fully familiar with the WA school curriculum, including ATAR requirements.

Question 17

How do you assess a student's progress.

Accepted Answer

We ask parents and students to update us with results from school tests, exams, and reports. More generally, assessment is an ongoing process with attention given to a student's ability to answer questions and problems in a clear, concise manner that demonstrates understanding.

Question 18

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

We understand that sometimes circumstances require you to cancel a scheduled tutorial.

Advance Notice (at least one day before): No fee is charged, and a replacement tutorial may be possible on another day or during the next school holidays.

Same-Day Cancellation: A $16.50 late cancellation fee applies. This fee helps us maintain a well-organised schedule and respects the tutor's time.

Students are assumed to continue with weekly tutorials during school term, unless we hear otherwise. As a courtesy, please inform us promptly if your child will no longer require tuition to avoid missed appointment fees.

Question 19

What is the tutor's qualifications?

Accepted Answer

Our tutor holds a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree with a double major in Mathematics and Physics, has studied chemistry at tertiary level, and is a published textbook author. With more than 30 years as a professional tutor, he provides expert instruction at all levels of maths, physics, chemistry, science, and English.

Question 20

How can I communicate with the tutor regarding my child's progress?

Accepted Answer

Our tutor welcomes email or phone enquiries to discuss your child's progress. Parents may also speak with the tutor at the centre before or after lessons. We believe in open communication and are always happy to discuss how your child is progressing.
