Seeking for Tutoring Centres.

Spiral

I thought you might recommend me.

Fixed. :-)

in my opinion i dont think an english tutor is necassary. ask your teacher for a lot of practice questions, do them, send them for feedback.

I beg to differ. Sure, your teacher is willing to help, but you get to a point where you or your teacher feel that you're asking too many questions.

And for Maths, grab a textbook and just do exercises.

Fixed. :-)

Haha - just pulling your legs.

However for Chem/Physics, Duyen teaches and he has a fobby accent.
N.B. Come to Peak because its cool. =]

OMG! I can not learn from his fobby accent and I quitted like a week ago.
I miss last year's uni students so badly <3
Peak is not cool anymore at all.

Now I need a new tutor...

PEAK is overrated I srsly don't like it....

Does Peak have a website you could link me too please? Ive googled it and only this american stuff comes up

[zhiying]

Nawp, you can message me if you want some info on PEAK. IMO his accent is easily manageable as long as you pay attention, but I had trouble lasting 2:30-6 phys + chem haha. There's nothing wrong with his English, grammar wise, but he writes all his "r" as capitals for some reason O_O

And go Ngo & Sons for math I work there so I'm biased but yeah I went there too and they were really good. Not sure about English though since I never gone English tutor

[SanjoyM]

I would recommend DUX college - Parramatta or CBD!
Their materials are excellent, SUPERB!
Their teaching style is unique, and incorporates more practicals for science than other coaching colleges!
Since I have joined Dux, my marks have shifted from the band 5 range to High band 6's for Bio and Chem

[zhiying]

Not having a go at you but how do you know its high band 6?

[SanjoyM]

Not having a go at you but how do you know its high band 6?

It's okay
Ummm, well a high band 6 is anything above 95% as per the HSC reporting system, and also my school's reporting system!
A high band 5 would be anything above 85% and so on.

[zhiying]

Well I'm not sure if you are talking about raw marks or not...but if you raw 95% in Chem (I didn't do Bio) you probably be top 5 in the state...a high 70s would put you into band 6 for chem.

Even if schools say they reflect the difficulty of HSC, in reality they don't, and I went to a top 10 school. It could be just my school but you said you go to a top 200, which means the test will generally be a lot easier

Not the raw marks, my prelim exam marks!
I haven't sat the HSC exams yet - im sitting it this year.
Nope, the exams are not actually that easy, most people get band 4's, only a few high band 5's and 6's.
+ I'm not entirely sure about the rank of my school. Top 100 or 200. LOL
My school usually buys exams that have been catered to suit the level of difficulty of the HSC.

[zhiying]

I know you haven't lol... I can read your sig.

I'll assume you mean Independent and the likes, but you can't talk about that in terms of bands really. Also I've never heard of a partial selective Parramatta school and I live in the area lol, all I know is Marist and Arthur Phillips.

[RivalryofTroll]

I'm trying the Alpha Omega Branch at Bankstown next week for a trial lesson for Advanced English Year 11 and Year 11 Physics some time soon

EDIT: I'd love to go PEAK but distance is kinda yeah... prefer closer places nowadays...

Parramatta High School is currently a partially selective school.

My friends work at Peak right now and I hear quite a lot of good things about their teaching except the overloading of students in one class. But, apparently they're trying to cut down on that though.

I agree.. I went from band 2 in chem to band 5/6

I would go Dux College if it were closer.

Overloading is definitely not good for the student. I would recommend one-to-one instead.

[chrstne]

Does anyone have a number for NGO and sons???


Thanks.

Unless you're teachers are bad, you don't have to go tutoring... are your teachers that bad? I would buy textbooks and self-study if I hadn't started PEAK.

[shi0822]

Which is more better as a English Teacher for tutoring?
At PEAK, Ms Diab or Mr Tishler?

Please reply as soon as possible because I don't really have any time left choosing a great tutor!

Please again and thank you very much

Both of them don't teach at PEAK?
Diab teaches at Ngo & Sons
Tishler teaches somewhere else I'd think...

teachers don't have to be BAD for you to go tutoring. some students want to learn ahead, or receive extra feedback,etc. Also, some teachers may be too busy.
