Tutoring near The Rock NSW


About

Greetings and Salutations! My name is Liam Wells. I have been a practicing teacher of Science and Physics for over eight years. I have helped my students to become conversant in scientific principles, and to see connections between what they learn in science, mathematics, and beyond. I have also supported several students in making submissions to the NSW Young Scientist Awards during my time, include one project which came third in the Y10-12 Physics category (2017). I am a firm believer in building a strong relationship with my students, which can help them to persevere in the hard work that is necessary for success. I also believe that a bit of fun never hurts either, and that knowledge should be gained for its own sake - there is, as Chesterton said, no such thing as an uninterested subject, but only an uninterested person. I am to tutor in Junior Science, Senior Physics, Senior Chemistry, and all levels of Mathematics, and have experience in tutoring in these levels. I also have access to resources that would only be available to teachers, including textbooks, worksheets, online simulations, and even some of my own resources. As I am a teacher, I do also have a Working With Children Check number. Please ask and I can provide it to you. I am currently enrolling for Senior classes for 2023 in Physics and Mathematics Advanced. Please message me for more information. My pricing system is summarised below. All prices are for online tuition; in person tuition will need to account for my travel policy: General tutoring and support (Individual) - Stages 4 & 5..........................................$60 per hour General tutoring and support (Individual) - Stage 6.....................................................$80 per hour General tutoring and support (Group) - Stages 4 & 5.................................................$30 per hour General tutoring and support (Group) - Stage 6............................................................$40 per hour My cancellation policy is that I will require one hour's notice of a lesson's cancellation, otherwise I will charge for the lesson as though it had taken place. I look forward to being of assistance to you!

Reviews

Liam was my son's tutor for Maths Extension 1 in 2019 and 2020 and Physics in 2020. When I was searching for a tutor on this website, I was looking for someone who would be able to cultivate the love of Maths in my son, not just to help him to do well in the HSC. Someone who can explain the concepts to him, rather than just providing steps to solve Maths problems. Liam's credential as a secondary school teacher with years of experience stood out from the rest. Liam was a very patient teacher, and was excellent in explaining Maths concepts to my son and helping him solve Maths problems. Through active listening, he also started helping my son with his Physics. Liam took charge of my son's progress in these two subjects. He was proactively in giving my son extra help when my son needed them most, especially just before the exam periods. I could see my son's confidence and knowledge in Maths and Physics grew under Liam's guidance. In the HSC, my son achieved E3 for his Maths Extension 1, the highest band for an Extension subject. For Physics, he is one point shy of a Band 6, the highest band for a subject. Considering that my son started with a weak foundation in both subjects, we are proud of his achievements, and are very thankful to Liam for helping my son throughout his HSC journey. I would highly recommend Liam to any students who are looking for a personable and responsible tutor, someone who can guide and mentor them through this stressful period of their life, and someone who is able to bring out the best in his students.
