Reviews

My son has drawn so much comfort and confidence from Josh's lessons. Josh has a special demeanour of calmness and gentleness, and teaches my son very thoughtfully, explaining the course content with patience and clarity. I am grateful for Josh's genuine care for my son to make sure that he is not feeling overwhelmed by the amount of study. I am also thankful for Josh's help & guidance. Josh is always happy to provide me with the update/progress. He is such a trustworthy tutor. I highly recommend Josh. You can depend on him!

Josh has been helping my son with tutoring since late Jan 2023. He has been helping with Maths Methods, Specialist Math, Physics and Chemistry. Josh always arrives for the lesson on time and he has a lovely, calm tutoring manner. He listens intently to my son’s queries while working out the best way to help him. It has been good to see that he doesn’t just provide the answer that my son is seeking, but rather questions him on what he thinks he needs to do. Only if my son is struggling or completely off track does he step in and offer a suggestion of a better approach. Josh is also good with keeping the session moving along to maximize the time they spend together. Each week he gives him homework examples to do and he also provides mock practice exams for my son to help reinforce what he’s been learning. He is polite, respectful and he has shown a keenness to see my son do well with his studies. My son has responded well to Josh’s tutoring style and I have no hesitation in recommending Josh as a tutor.

Josh has been my maths methods tutor for the past 5 months and has recently helped me prepare for my chemistry external exam as well. To say his help has been game changing would be an understatement! He is extremely patient, friendly and smart, and has made substantial improvements in my studies, including doubling my Internal assessment marks from IA2 to IA3 for methods, and most importantly improving my confidence and enjoyment while learning as I prepared for my methods and chemistry end of year exams. Our sessions are very productive and structured, and are always enjoyable with plenty of laughs during our mid session 5min break. My school friends are envious when I tell them about how reliable, prepared and engaging Josh is when compared to the other tutors they see, so Josh’s current, former and future students are very lucky to have his help.

Wow! What a find! A couple of months ago we asked a friend if she knew of a good tutor and she highly recommended Josh who has been nothing short of sensational. Within months our son saw the results, so much so, Maths is sorted and Josh is now tutoring our son in Chemistry. Besides been an incredibly bright tutor Josh is the most personable young man, we could not recommend him enough. Thank you Josh.

Josh has been a great tutor. He helped my daughter gain confidence in her study as well as helped to improve her grades significantly. Josh's teaching allowed my daughter to engage in study and recall information for exams. Josh also provides constructive feedback on assignments. We definitely will recommend Josh's tutoring.

I highly recommend Josh as a tutor. He has tutored my son in year 11 and 12 in Math Methods and Specialist Maths. My son’s confidence has improved greatly as well as his overall performance in both subjects. Josh is very patient and has really gone the extra mile to prepare mock exams etc.

Happy to provide the highest recommendation for Josh in Year 12 subjects. Josh is able to bring a calm and understanding approach and has excellent knowledge of the curriculum. Most importantly, Josh is very well prepared and also focused on exam success.

Josh has been a fantastic maths tutor! He is very helpful and engaging and cares about the progress of his students. He follows up on assessments and assists with mock tests too. Josh is an A+ tutor and we are very grateful to have him tutoring our yr12 son in Maths Methods and Specialist Maths.

I can’t quite put into words how happy we are with Josh. Josh began tutoring our son on a weekly basis at the end of 2021 and we were impressed from day 1. Our son is currently in year 12 and studying ATAR Subjects. We have continued to have Josh visit every week with the intention of continuing throughout 2022 and beyond, should our son require further assistance throughout University. Josh’s grades and achievements are exceptional. He is punctual and reliable and is such a happy and pleasant guy. Our son is extremely happy and comfortable with Josh and has been since the first tutoring session in 2021. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Josh to any parent or student that requires additional assistance with their studies.

Josh has been tutoring my Year 5 Daughter in Maths for several weeks now, she has shown signs of improvement in her Learning in just a short amount of time. Josh has been a wonderful source of mentoring for my daughter. He is reliable, dedicated, very flexible in his teaching - making it fun and interactive and has kept my daughter interested in learning for the whole 1.5 hours we have Josh booked for. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest, down to earth person and tutor, who is extremely reasonable in his rates. 11/10 stars!!
