Selvi at Wise Old Owl Tutoring has helped me immensely throughout completing 3/4 methods and specialist maths. She is very patient and able to explain concepts in a range of different ways to ensure that you understand. She was able to show me sources I could access to find exercises or further explanations to help me, and she provided me with extra resources if I needed any more practice. Selvi was also available to answer any questions outside of our regular tutoring hours. It was obvious that she wanted to see me succeed and improve in my maths.

Tutoring was great but unfortunately was not done by a wise old owl and instead a human. Maybe it was his day off.

Selvi at Wise Old Owl Tutoring has been amazing. Always professional, on time, reliable and flexible with swapping our lesson times to fit in some extra study time before a test. My son had a difficult start with Math Methods but since starting with Selvi his grades have been amazing, his confidence has greatly improved and he never complains about doing the extra work with Selvi to help improve his results. Our experience with Wise Old Owl Tutoring has been extremely positive and I would highly recommend Selvi to anyone looking for a math tutor.

I have used this website so many times it would have to be one of the best out there. Assuming they have got the relevant course for you. I actually work in the IT industry sector and still get so much value out of this site.

Wise Old Owl Tutoring has been outstanding. Selvi's kind, calm and clear instructions have turned maths test results around in a matter of weeks. Selvi listens to my son and works with him so he understands what areas he needs to work on to gain a better understanding and in turn, a better mark in maths. She also is building his confidence. I cannot recommend this business more highly.

Just wanted to also say a huge thank you to your teaching style, Caitlyn is really enjoying your lessons, her grades in Maths have improved greatly in this short time with you and she is feeling a lot more confident in approaching maths and going into tests.

I got a study score of 33.09 for Chemistry, a 39.16 for Maths Methods and an overall ATAR of 82.35. Overall, I am happy with my results and would like to thank you for being an enormous help through this. I couldn't have done it without you.

Selvi from Wise Old Owl Tutoring has been tutoring my daughter for the past year for Maths. Selvi has been very helpful and patient particularly when answering questions. She explains problems clearly and well for my daughter to understand and therefore my daughters results and confidence has without a doubt improved. Selvi always responds to emails promptly even if it is out of hours and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you Selvi for your care and time.

Wise Old Owl tutoring has been really helpful to me throughout my year 11 mathematical methods studies. Selvi is great and always is able to explain any concept that may be challenging and make it very easy to understand. She has a wide range of helpful resources as well and always responds to questions out of hours and provides solutions and help for any question at any time. She has helped me achieve great results and I am looking forward to succeed next year in year 12 methods with her help.

Selvi from Wise Owl tutoring has been tutoring my Son for the last 7 months. Selvi communicates clearly and professionally and has understood the purpose for us seeking Maths tuition. She has helped him to clarify and understand points of confusion, consolidate learning, prepare for tests and then go over tests. This has all helped him in furthering his Maths understanding.

I have returned to Uni and needed help with gaps in my Math knowledge.
Selvi has been great. She is very patient, and willing to take the time to explain things in different ways to help you understand them.
She takes the time to tailor the class to your needs, and will set relevant homework tasks if requested.

My daughter has been tutoring with selvi for around 2 years. She has achieved amazing results in all her tests and exams in maths. Not only has it made her improve maths but also helped her gain self confidence before the tests. At any point we needed selvi for extra lessons she was always available.

Wise Old Owl Tutoring has been very helpful. Selvi has done a great job explaining to me how and why equations are the way they are. If I ever need help with anything maths related she responds to my messages on the same day with photos of the work with instructions on how to solve them. This has been great for me and has helped me to stay on top of both my specialist and methods work.

My son started taking maths tution from Selvi late last year , I have started seeing improvement in his maths through his school report and from his school teacher. He had a test at school at the beginning of this school year and his teacher said his score on division was one of the highest in the class. Selvi is very patient with kids and a good teacher, I highly recommend Selvi to anyone looking for maths tution.

September 2019: Selvi has been tutoring my son through Year 9 and 10 maths. Selvi recognises that people learn in different ways. She has the innate ability to assess whether the student understands the concept, and then tailors the conversation in a different way, until understanding is reached. Selvi always goes beyond expectation and is genuinely interested in the student’s success. She is flexible, understanding and always happy to email more information when needed. Selvi is not in our locality, but her skill and expertise is worth the travel and I would not consider taking my child anywhere else. Alison (Sassafras)

We were recommended Selvi a few years ago by a friend and it was the best recommendation ever! My son had really struggled with maths at primary school and at his first test at high school he got 27%. With some reluctance (being an 11 year old boy who disliked maths) he started seeing Selvi and after only a short while, he started to understand maths better, and at the next school maths test he got 68%. He was thrilled at his first good mark for maths ever, and from that point on he realised that he could actually learn maths from a good teacher! He is now in Year 11, is doing Maths Methods and consistently scores As and Bs and now enjoys it immensely. Selvi finds a way to engage students, especially ones like my son who actively disliked maths, and can explain things in a way they understand. She is calm, kind and proactive about helping students prepare for upcoming tests and exams. She does not burden them with extra tasks but is very good at working along with the topics that they are currently doing at school, which helps students keep up with their schoolwork and makes them feel better during class time too. My now 17 year old son still has weekly sessions with Selvi which he never wants to miss, and now even asks for extra sessions when he has an exam coming up as he knows her tips and revision assistance will make all the difference!
