about

OUR HISTORY FUELS OUR FUTURE

A quick story from our founder

When I was in early high school I really struggled in class. I lacked confidence and pretended I didn’t care about school to mask the fact that I didn’t know what I was doing. But a genuine connection with a private tutor gave me the confidence in myself to go from failing most subjects in year 9 to topping my HSC year.

Over the past 10 years I’ve spent over 10,000 hours working one-on-one with students from K-12 and now invest that experience in to the most incredible team of tutors who are hand-selected not only for academic merit, but for their ability to nurture and bring out the hidden gold in every student they work with.

I hope you’ll allow your story to become part of ours. You can sign up for your first obligation free session with an Alchemy tutor below or ask me any questions directly via nic.rothquel@alchemytuition.com.au.

WE ONLY WORK WITH THE BEST

 

Every one of our tutors are hand-selected, carefully trained and comprehensively supported to ensure only the highest quality English tutors and Maths tutors can become Alchemy tutors.

We’ve got state ranked tutors, duxes of schools, school captains and tutors who achieved 99+ ATARS. The very best tutors in the state.

There are three requirements for every tutor on our team:

 

PROVEN ACADEMIC RESULTS

In-depth knowledge and understanding of the content they tutor.

This is at the core of what makes a good tutor – a detailed understanding of their subject.

We only hire locally raised tutors that completed their HSC here in NSW, so they understand the requirements and expectations of the Australian curriculum.

All our tutors must have proven academic success in the subject they tutor. This might be a band 6 in the HSC, or they might be pursuing it at a higher level in University or beyond. They must pass our content exam to demonstrate they know the curriculum well enough to teach it and they are supported by a comprehensive resource center so they are always well equipped for every session.

 

INCREDIBLE COMMUNICATION SKILLS

The unique ability to convey complex ideas in a simple way.

It isn’t good enough to simply know content; a good tutor will be able to explain it to a student in a way that makes sense to them.

All our tutors are talented communicators with a natural gift for simplifying complicated concepts. We take this further in their training by exploring the different ways in which students can learn and how information can be best conveyed in their unique learning style.

This is the beauty of private tuition – and why it is far more effective than classroom style learning – because your child’s tutor can build the session around exactly what they need.

 

ROLE MODEL MATERIAL

Motivation, inspiration and every now and then, a little bit of a challenge.

The alchemy difference is that we focus on so much more than just marks. Our goal is to bring out the gold in every student we work with – something that takes serious dedication and commitment.

Through authentic relationships we aim to boost confidence, increase motivation and ultimately show the students we work with what they are capable of.

Each tutor is selected for their ability to motivate and inspire the students they work with. We want your child to look forward to every session they have, so we recruit our tutors with this in mind.

Every one of our tutors completes a WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECK which we individually verify before their first session.

Jacques

“I have really appreciated Jacques. He has been a very consistent tutor for my son since the beginning of last year. He faithfully comes every Friday. He is a gifted tutor who brings out the best in my son even when he is not motivated and on his bad days. Jacques has been a source of stability and inspiration for my son. Jacques has even come during the school holidays for free to give him some special classes on creative writing as my son is interested in script writing. I really appreciate Jacques’ long term commitment to my son.”

Joa

“Joa is continually committed to not only nurturing my son’s educational experience but also his social development. Joa is an incredible mentor for my son and he no longer sees the tutoring sessions as education or study, but as a holistic experience which he looks forward to every week.
Joa is always flexible and willing to accommodate schedule changes, which is an incredible help for a full-time working family with children. Since Joa has joined our family, my son has received at least 2 academic awards in mathematics, when only a short time ago he was an average student. In addition, as he enters his teenage years, Joa has been able to encourage his participation.”

Theodore

“Theodore goes over and above every session. The biggest improvement I have seen is in my daughter’s results. Theo is always polite, helpful, friendly, is clear and concise and good-natured. Most importantly he is punctual and spends as much time as is needed – doesn’t watch the clock. He communicates effectively with me as well.”
