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.

Nathan
“Nathan is a perfect tutor for my son. He is extremely calm which comes across in his highly effective tutoring style of ‘partnering for success’. He has increased our son’s confidence so much and never makes him feel inadequate if he struggles to understand something, he simply finds a different way to explain it to him. Whilst Nathan is obviously there to improve our son’s Maths it is also lovely to hear them chat and have a bit of a laugh during ‘brain break’ moments. There is an enormous amount of trust in this tutoring relationship and that is mainly down to the way Nathan has built rapport and a ‘safe space’ in which our son feels very comfortable admitting when he doesn’t understand. I am not sure where our son would be with his Maths if we had not found Nathan via you. Thank you”

Salina

“Salina is a mature and lovely person. She knows how to engage with our son and keep him engaged. Always advises me of a change in advance. The biggest improvement I have seen in my son is confidence, inevitably through our tutors’ confidence. Our son hated Maths and was not confident with numbers so I think all that our son has achieved is a milestone. The tutor is an asset to Alchemy.”

Yasming

“Yasming has done an amazing job getting my daughter to apply herself to Maths. My daughter looks forward to her sessions and is trying so much more than she used to. My daughter has received a merit award for significant improvement in her Maths work at school. What I like most about Yasming is that she is patient and thorough.”

• Thank you for assigning Tessa as my tutor. Without her constant support I never would have been able to do as well as I did! I recommend Alchemy to any student that wants to do well in their HSC.

  Catherine Bowman - Band 6 in HSC Biology

• We are very happy with the support we receive at Alchemy. Jai’s tutor is professional, friendly and really knows his stuff. We have seen his grades go from an average of 60% to 90% in 6 months.

  Daniel Acherson - Allambie Heights

• Before coming to Alchemy, Emma was struggling at school and losing motivation fast. She is now in the top 10 of her grade and she actually enjoys going to school. It has been an incredible experience.
