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.

Karina

“Karina has managed to spark a passion for our son’s learning which was basically non existent. She manages to adapt her teaching style so it is perfect for our son to believe in himself and that he can actually understand. We are so happy and impressed. Karina has given him the confidence to attempt problems that he was usually afraid of doing in case he gets them wrong. Our son really didn’t want a tutor however was completely stressed out in the classroom at school, feeling ‘dumb’. He now believes he is capable and believes he can work things out. I like how she allows our son to engage with her as he is a little talkative, though she is very good at bringing him back in to focus. She is patient and shows a level of care and sincerity about our son’s Learning. Thank you Karina.”

Camila

“Camilla is an amazing tutor, she always goes above and beyond. My son is 7 year old and Camilla is very dedicated and creative in the way she is able to get him to engage in their session together. For a seven year old to come home from school and an hour later be doing more work I feel is a big ask however Camila knows just what to do for them to have an enjoyable session together, she has also taught me a thing or two as well. Our son is waiting at the door for her excitedly before she arrives. From when he first started their has been a remarkable difference in his engagement with Camilla. We are very blessed to have her as our tutor. I have seen great improvements in our son’s writing, maths and concentration has improved dramatically. I like mostly how creative Camilla is and how she gets our son to engage in the sessions. We are so grateful we have such a pleasant amazing tutor.”

Aryan

“Aryan is a fantastic tutor. The kids love having him as their tutor. He really cares about their progress and is very focused with a keen eye for detail. He works very hard to help the kids progress and knows their weaker areas which require help. Aryan is always very well prepared and goes the extra mile by preparing flash cards for the kids. He also works really well with me on strategies to help the kids reach their goals faster. Aryan is very personable, kind and considerate. I have seen great improvements in their reading, spelling and maths. What I like most is our tutor is thoughtful and patient and just generally a very smart and talented tutor. Thank you Aryan!”
