Why tutor with us?

What makes Smart Moves work!

Smart Moves has been established for over 13 years, right near Roseville train station. We have been employing local tutors to inspire local students.

Over that time, we have found it is not quite as simple as just putting a student with a tutor. We believe there is a little more to the chemistry of learning...read below for some other key ingredients that make a student successful.

Creativity

Questions in a test are designed to distribute student results snugly around a bell curve. To differentiate yourself from the "norm" you will need to tackle that "last question". Creativity is a key component of problem solving. At Smart Moves we strongly encourage "Creativity" in all aspects of the student's lifestyle and our tutors actively lead by example.

Inspiration

All the "adult" people involved in a student's career - from school to home, will always push the good student to do better. At Smart Moves, we believe that is just not enough! Students must also be drawn into their subjects - ideally using a source of inspiration. That's why we pick the right tutor for you - someone who can not only teach but infect the student with their own success and influence.

Critical Thinking

Students must develop their own critical thinking skills. At Smart Moves, as part of the one-on-one process, we continuously engage and develop their critical thinking skills. This allows them to not only survive, but excel, in a testing environment.

Mentors

Mentors have experience. Evolutions of the HSC, highlights relevance and guidance in navigating the current syllabus and rubric. If you could go back in time, what changes and decisions would you make? We find the benefit of hindsight an influencing factor in helping this next generation of student.

First of all I’d like to thank you for your help and guidance in my HSC year. I achieved an ATAR of 98.85 and a Premier’s all rounder award with 12 units of Band 6. I couldn't have achieved this success without Smart Moves tutoring...I thank you for the advice and direction given in not only English and Mathematics but similarly my future academic goals.

I have managed to get 85 in English Advanced and a 97.00 ATAR, which is much better than I could have ever imagined...I cannot thank you enough for your support in helping me dramatically improve my English marks and general exam skills. Please also pass on my thanks to everyone who also helped throughout the year. It was tough work, but you guys made it memorable and it paid off.

Caitlin has gained her first choice at UNSW, without needing to access her Elite Sports bonus points. This result would not have been possible without the support of Smart Moves provided Caitlin over years 11 and 12. Most importantly, has been the improvement in Caitlin’s self belief. Again, thank you to you and your marvellous team of motivated, caring and at all times, reassuring Tutors.
