I'm a Year 12 student and I've been at Real Value Tuition for almost 2 years now, and based on my honest opinion (not having bias opinions), Owen is truly an amazing motivational tutor that is so passionate about teaching and helping students achieve their best in exams. I have never met anyone so passionate in maths before it really amazes me and makes me surprised. I have never been really good at maths and have been struggling over the past couple of years, and out of all the Maths tutors I have had for almost 10 years, I genuinely think that Owen is really exceptional tutor and is willing to help you achieve the score if you also work very hard towards your goals. The environment here is so nice, surrounded by numerous individuals who are so dedicated to their work and ever since he expanded into a bigger tutoring centre, I've been so proud of his tutoring centre getting bigger and bigger by day. Honestly, if I knew earlier about this place, I would've went and joined as soon as possible, (I know this is very dramatic but just knowing I'll miss this place a lot by the time I graduate, surrounded by happy, funny people is gonna hit me soon.)

After working with Owen and other tutors there for over a year, I haven't had a single session where I didn't walk away with a deeper grasp of maths and a better perspective on life. Most tutoring companies just force you through rigid textbooks and dump heaps of questions on you, hoping something sticks. Owen is completely different. His approach is incredibly insightful and tailored to the individual. No matter your background or how you learn, he connects with you holistically to make complex concepts easy to understand. He focuses on building a genuinely solid foundation, using a guided approach that helps students reach their immediate goals and carries them forward successfully into the future.

I am a year 12 student who has been with RVT for around 2 years now. During my earlier, formative years of high school I attended many popular franchise tutoring centres, spending multiple hours a week learning maths in school and afterwards in tutoring, but I still wasn't improving nor enjoying myself. In 2024 I ended up deciding to try out Real Value Tuition and I have stayed ever since. Owen fosters a certain ambience and community at RVT which simply cannot be replicated by other centres, as both his tutors and other students are all lovely and friendly. If your child is currently struggling like I was; finding it difficult to understand content while they fall behind other students at school, RVT might be the perfect solution compared to other tutors—who are required to follow strict and reused curriculums while teaching classes so large that it is difficult to get enough help and attention for improvement. Not only is the vibe great, but Owen himself is an amazing maths teacher who breaks down topics coherently and at a digestible pace, tailoring his methods to accommodate each student's particular needs. He employs an interactive method with ipads during group lessons, allowing students to solve problems independently before offering help and explaining + clarifying formulas on the board which I find very helpful. Over the past two years, Owen has helped me gain more confidence—and even a gradual appreciation of maths, and this is coming from an english-leaning student who has always hated, and struggled with maths since a young age. I am eternally grateful for the extra support Owen offers and the priceless advice, and motivational speeches that he has given me, especially during the stressful lead-up to my HSC. If you're thinking of sending your student here I promise you won't regret it. ?

RVT provides an incredible service. Prior to starting sessions, i was struggling heavily with maths. I felt so overwhelmed to the point where I couldn't even begin a question and started to doubt whether I should continue with the subject altogether. It wasn't until I started sessions with Owen that I was able to see that I was capable of understanding. His ability to breakdown concepts, remain engaging and explain the "why" behind everything is genuinely a style of teaching that saved my marks. This approach has not only improved my marks, but improved my confidence across all subjects and changed my perspective on learning altogether. He is both a tudor and a mentor that has helped me improve dramatically I cannot be thankful enough ????

I've been attending RVT for about a year now, and the quality of teaching is absolutely superb! Owen gives very useful personalised feedback and actually teaches mathematical concepts instead of just rote memorisation. I've encountered many questions that test conceptual understanding, and also many complex original questions that Owen comes up with to specifically target my weaknesses! Also, questions and queries are answered very quickly online! All in all, I've had a super enjoyable learning experience here, would recommend 100%!

Owen has taught me so much not just about the maths syllabus, but also about how to approach life, and my mindset towards studying. As a result, not only have my marks improved dramatically, but I've also learnt to enjoy the process, and overcome mistakes and failure. His focus on mindset means that the progress I've made is long lasting, and not just in short bursts. Thank you Owen!

Really great experience all around at Real Value Tuition! The lessons are supportive, in-depth, and never feel rushed. The content is taught in an intuitive and intentional way, making sure students actually understand maths holistically , not just memorising formulas. The learning environment is also super positive, and Owen is always dedicated to giving advice and insight that goes beyond school. Real Value Tuition has helped me consolidate my knowledge, improve my marks, and walk into exams feeling more confident and prepared. It’s not just about understanding the content, but also building strong exam technique, which has helped me achieve high and consistent results. Highly recommend for anyone looking for tutoring that’s flexible, encouraging, and genuinely effective!

Owen (the tutor) is an exceptional teacher who is enthusiastic and passionate about teaching where his approach is curated to strengthen individual weaknesses and effectively designed to nurture an appreciation for mathematics and the learning process as a whole. Furthermore, he is not just simply a mathematics tutor but someone that treats his students like friends, offering advice and motivation with compassion to ensure his students succeed in all aspects of life. Highly recommend :)

Real Value Tuition is exactly what the name suggests. When you think of tutoring, most students think of rigorous exercises where with each question they lose morale and motivation to improve, wondering what is the point? However, here at Real Value Tuition, Owen (the renowned tutor) has revitalised my passion and understanding of education. The traditional format of torturous cyclical learning is abolished in place for personalised tutoring that places an emphasise on fully understanding the purpose of the work you do, alongside free life advice (real value) on how to survive high school, and ensures you attain the best results without sacrificing joy. Come to Real Value Tuition if you value amazing results and your child's passion for Mathematics.

I've been coming to Real Value Tuition for almost 3 years now and I can confidently say that my confidence and results in math have both sky rocketed. Owen helped me go from 50% in my math exams to over 90% and has given me a much deeper understanding on key concepts and how to apply them without relying on formulas. Owen is incredibly patient and genuinely passionate about helping students succeed, breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps and ensuring that I fully understand before moving on. Classes are small which ensures there is enough personalised support for all students which helps our collective understanding of math significantly grow. RVT has helped me feel supported and motivated me to improve in my math skills, offering me further support outside of classroom hours when requested which has helped to foster a friendly and encouraging environment. Classes are incredibly flexible and accessible, offering both online and in-person lessons for all students. Owen helps us to acknowledge that mistakes and failures during tests are normal without pressuring students harshly which positively encourages us to improve for ourselves to do better next time. Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Real Value Tuition to anyone looking for 10/10 quality service!

With over 200 lessons with the tutor (Owen), without fail each lesson I am able to enrich my understanding of maths content as well as gain valuable insights and perspectives about life in the coming future. Unlike other maths tutoring companies which have a strict regime of 'by-the-book' learning and dumping questions on you hoping that you will understand them, Owen's approach is very insightful and tailored to each individual such that despite differences in prior knowledge and every student's preferred learning style, he is able to connect with you holistically in a manner that is digestable and engaging, which further allows him to help build and maintain a solid foundation for any student. On top of this, his guided approach and multiple perspectives allow students to excel to reach their goals, and extend that further into the later stages of life.

Real Value Tuition is an amazing centre to learn maths from. The tutor (Owen) is passionate and very knowledgeable in teachings. The environment in the centre is always friendly and you're able to talk and ask about anything. He gives good life advices and even though we get sidetracked often, we always leave the lesson with something new we learnt there.

Highly recommend. Real Value Tuition links mathematic concepts with real life examples, deepning student's understanding of maths. Owen, the tutor, is an incredibly dedicated teacher who values the wellbeing of his students. Small-group classes available both online and in-person (less than 5 min. away from Burwood Station) provides a comfortable learning environment for students to grow and learn in. I went from receiving test scores varying within the 60-70% range, to scoring a 98%, with only 8 weeks of joining RVT. Classes include proper equipment, including scientific calculators, a fully-stocked fridge, touch screen iPads, and other interactive tools benefitting student's learning. If Sarah has 500 green apples and you want coke, you should sign up for his amazing tutoring lessons.

Are you desperately in need of a maths tutor who you’re able to learn content from without losing your mind? Are your grades dropping so badly that your parents are hanging on by a thread off the cliff of no faith in you? Well: we present, OWEN! Owen is an amazing teacher, he’s able to teach maths with the utmost interest, which spreads around like a virus to us students. Every week we go over there we are extremely enthused by the many things he has to offer. He’s not only extremely qualified as a teacher, but as a psychic and a therapist, giving us many foretellings into the future about our school and interpersonal relationships! Owen has many things to offer. Starting with the basics, he has many different lesson plans for you to try out. You can start with buying individual lessons, or an entire term’s worth! Moreover, there are deals such as siblings discount and a referral prize. So drag your friends or siblings over for free money! Owen is located in real value tuition, which is located in Burwood. The location is intellectually positioned less than 5 minutes from the train station AND the bus stop! You think it can’t get better? Well, imagine it's a typical boiling hot Australian day. You're getting deep fried in the heat, and when you step outside your bus, instead of getting cooked a shrivelled up wrinkled prune for 30 minutes walking to your basic tutoring centre- good news! Owens is right in front of you and suddenly there's a light at the tunnel called Owen’s air conditioning saving you from being cooked alive! I too was once a young student studying at a very tiring tutoring place that also rhymes with ‘pee-ness education’. And I speak from experience when I say that it had arduous hours or hard work, pain, suffering, yet no result. Now, I wonder back to why I suffered? All this time I could have gone to Owen, a great 3 in 1 teacher who is so great that I leave rejuvenated after tutoring class. Even at school, I can stare at the wall for the ENTIRE lesson and still get a great 97% on my maths test. At other tutoring places you may be traumatised from the mountains of homework and booklets that you force on you, even at the ripe, young age at 8. We should have never been suffering like that, as young students we should have been overflowing with creative ideas and energy. But no, we suffered unnecessarily with a dumb and excruciating tutoring. As a year 9, I believe that now is a good time to be studying and getting that extra help. But NEVER should anyone be suffering like many of us once did in some tutorings. Therefore: Go to Owen! *If this google review has influenced you, tell Owen that Gabriella, Karen and Darrelle has referred you, kind regards: Gabriella, Karen and Darrelle

Pre- Owen, I was a candle lighting ritual manifesting student begging the Lord to give me an A on my exam as fat juicy tears stream down my face, worried your child is suffering the same symptoms? Not to fear: Owen the psychic is here! Not to mention hes a 3 in one: Who doesn’t want a spiritual guide, therapist, and a 5 star maths teacher? Are you in need of psychological therapy? Are you on the waiting list for a double wombo-combo lobotomy? or are you perhaps in dire need of a trip to the nearest mental asylum? Owen offers both interpersonal, psychological, spiritual, physical AND mathematical therapy; suitable for all ages (we do not promote the use of vulgar language within the confines of real value tuition). Though not 100% confidential (whatever that means, this is MATHS tutoring, not english), the founder of real value tuition offers a full money back guarantee in case you are blind and do not agree with his lessons. Most importantly, he cares for us students, taking the initiative to let us know we can take it easy if we’re facing physical discomfort, horrendous stomach issues or a raging headache that would not go away due to school assignments that are due literally tomorrow, not maths since owen teaches so well I went from mental breakdown sobbing over every single maths questions the teachers shove down my throat- to seeing the light and flying through maths and flaunting my A’s.(Spoken from experience). Students can nod with me on this one, but have you ever heard of your friends complaining, crying or even whining about going to tutoring? Good thing if you have Owen, pigs will fly before that happens. He never makes me or my friends depressed when we go there. We’re absolutely delighted- jumping around with the power of ten suns when skipping to Owens, and I’m always looking forward to classes with him (that might have something to do with my friends being there, so bring a friend with you and tell them to say Gabriella referred them). To appreciate all of Owen, he offers not just maths skills that we can use for the rest of our lives, but real life experiences! He links the majority of maths to real life experiences that allows me to realise the importance of maths and not just tediously doing maths questions wondering why I'm doing this while contemplating my existence . Highly reccomend!!! *If this review has influenced you, tell Owen that Gabriella, Karen and Darelle has referred you, kind regards: Gabriella, Karen and Darelle
