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.

Sumal

“Sumal is fantastic. He is always pleasant as he arrives, and our daughter has built a trusting relationship with him (which is important for her as she is bit shy). She is working harder on submitting her homework and the effort she is putting in is so much greater, and I feel it is due to her confidence in essay and PEEL writing, which is from the work that our tutor is doing. She needs a lot of support, which I’m grateful has been noticed by the school and she is enrolled in MultiLit and a maths program 3 mornings per week, and this is all being backed up by our tutor. When she gets bogged down in her homework and assignments he assists her to feel more on top of things. When I log into Google classroom, I have seen 2 comments come back from teachers on her homework saying “great work”, which I haven’t seen before. Thank you! What I like most about our tutor is he is friendly with her, but strong to get her homework done and good with positive / negative feedback delivery. I have enjoyed positive feedback from teachers and a stronger desire to do homework from my daughter”

Joey

“Our tutor is such an inspiration to our kids. Each week they are always so keen to impress him. He has a special energy that they always try to emulate and extend themselves toward. He raises the level of expectation that the kids have of their own ability. He brings enthusiasm to his sessions and his wonderful sense of intelligent humour. The biggest milestone reached is mainly that my son was never a keen student – in fact quite the opposite. Our tutor is certainly helping him turn that corner, giving him the confidence to want to apply himself in the classroom. Keep up the great work!”

Fiona

“Fiona has been fantastic. She has a really easy nature and has engaged with my son seamlessly. Fiona is able to guide him through his work in such a way that he positively responds and is enjoying the work- unbelievable! Our tuition hour is at 5.30 on a Friday and despite being the end of the week and having a young baby to deal with at home, Fiona turns up with a world of enthusiasm. I reckon for that alone she deserves to be tutor of the month! Our son has become more focused on his school work as he understands that it as important as his tuition work. He has become more focused on his school work as he understands that it as important as his tuition work. What I like most about Fiona is her ability to communicate and have a positive rapport with our son and it is good to see our son getting more comfortable with the format of testing that he has been working with our tutor on. Thanks for your tuition and good to see our son responding so well to her efforts.”

• 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.

  Sally Rimaldi - Bondi

• Our tutor 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. Our daughter has received a merit award for significant improvement in her Maths work at school. What I like most about our tutor is that she is patient and thorough.

  Morwenna - Manly
[/ut_quote_alt]

• Our tutor is so clever, calm, polite and motivated. He is such a positive role model for our children both socially and academically. We just love his manner with our children and he is really making a difference to their learning. More confidence in in class tests, more confidence with spelling. Oh, our tutor is also just a great person really. Very easy person to be around and the kids really listen to him and he is able to get them to work, which I just cannot do. None specific to mention yet, but I’m sure they will with his continued help! A big thank you to Alchemy
