Art of Smart Education - HSC Tutoring & Mentoring Hornsby

My son is in Year 4, and since joining Abigail's class he has developed a genuine interest and enthusiasm for maths, something we hadn’t seen before. Abhi goes above and beyond by nurturing his curiosity, even when he asks about concepts outside his year level. Her friendly, patient, and encouraging teaching style has made him look forward to every class. She has not only strengthened his understanding of maths but has also inspired a newfound confidence and love for learning. We’re truly grateful for the positive impact she has had on him.

We’ve had an excellent experience working with Ian as my child’s English tutor. Over their time together, my child’s English assessment results improved significantly, and his writing became much more effective—an essential skill for the HSC, where strong essay responses make such a difference. More importantly, Ian helped build my child’s confidence. With clearer writing and stronger communication skills, he began approaching schoolwork with far more self-assurance. Ian also taught him valuable time management and study strategies, helping him plan ahead instead of rushing to finish work at the last minute. He entered his HSCs feeling prepared, organised, and appeared to be less stressed than many of his peers. What impressed us even more was how the skills Ian taught extended beyond English. Better writing led to improved results in his other HSC subjects, and the planning and time-management strategies Ian taught were beneficial across all his courses. These are truly lifelong skills that will support him well into the future. We highly and wholeheartedly recommend working with Ian.

My Year Nine daughter has been seeing Jenna for English tutoring for about 1.5 years. She is getting great results thanks to Jenna, and is now very keen to put in effort and do well at school. What she learns from Jenna is also helpful in other subjects and she has also mentioned that having Jenna to talk to makes her feel more relaxed about assessments. Thanks Jenna and Art of Smart, Hornsby!

Jenna has been an excellent tutor for our child. Truly connected with him and turned his performance around. She has tailored the lessons to ensure an engaging yet appropriately challenging learning experience. Would strongly recommend her.

My daughter attends English group lessons with Francis, and he’s been amazing. His enthusiasm for English really lifts the whole group, and makes everyone feel comfortable. He supports both stronger and more average learners really well, giving each kid what they need to feel confident and make progress. She also has individual maths tutoring with Iris, who has been fantastic at keeping her focused and giving her work that not only reinforces the basics but also gently pushes her to the next level. Iris is great at adjusting her approach to suit my daughter’s learning style, and it’s made a huge difference to her confidence. Both tutors have been wonderful.
