How Elian Got Comfortable About Asking Questions in 3U Maths & Advanced English

Thinking about getting started with Art of Smart?

Ella and her younger brother Elian have been working with Art of Smart over the last 18 months for HSC Advanced English and Extension 1 Maths.

We recently chatted to Ella who shared her experiences in working with Art of Smart and the impact it’s had for Elian!

Prior to getting started with Art of Smart, what help Elian needing?

Elian was doing well with his classes however this was not translating to his exam scores. So we weren’t just looking for help with his school work but also for exam preparation and how to apply his lessons to the exams.

Initially we were looking for support for 3U Maths and also then over time for English to enhance his essay writing.

How did you hear about Art of Smart?

I did a Google Search, and found Art of Smart. We got in touch via email and Art of Smart was very responsive and had great communication. We got a phone call in response to our email to find out what we were looking for and what we were needing.

So it didn’t feel like we were just being recommended someone random that wouldn’t be a good fit – it was personalised and Art of Smart took the time to understand what we were needing.

What was the moment in working with Art of Smart that you knew you’d made the right decision?

Elian had a couple of lessons and the the moment we knew we had made the right decision when I got a follow up call from Art of Smart to find if the tutor was actually a right fit for Elian and whether we needed to change things.

Additionally the tone of that phone call was very happy. It wasn’t a “Are you OK to go ahead?” but rather, “Are you happy with the tutoring?”

So there was a real care factor in making sure there actually was a perfect fit for Elian!

What have we done to help Elian throughout Year 11 and 12?

Elian became more willing to ask questions that confused him and this translated into school. He often didn’t feel comfortable to ask questions and after having tutoring with Art of Smart he felt more comfortable to ask questions at school.

Both Elian’s tutors, Christine and Cheryl were really encouraging and gave him a belief that he could ask questions and it wouldn’t hurt.

What’s the best thing your tutors have done to support Elian during his HSC?

Our tutors Christine and Cheryl were great with communication outside of sessions! They were willing and able to be there to answer his questions.

So there was ongoing support! It wasn’t just that they’d come for a lesson and get out, but there was ongoing support which was fantastic.
