There are many important things that can be listed but my top things would be building confidence and promoting independence and understanding. A tutor should create a safe, supportive space where mistakes are okay and effort is celebrated. I am highly patient and try to break concepts down into simpler terms and action steps. I’ll never get…

A tutor should be able to assess and listen exactly to students' hardships in the subject. From there, build on ways to simplify the issue. With mathematics, I think what is most important is to simplify the way of solving problems as much as possible. Another important feature that a tutor can do is to build a friendly relationship with students…

Make their students feel comfortable (e.g; polite conversation), this thus allows the student to voice their concerns and allows the tutor to adjust what they are teaching and how they are doing so. Don’t rush the process and ensure the student is confident in areas of concern before brushing into another concept. I just recently graduated…

A tutor, fundamentally, serves a purpose to give the student additional knowledge or hone their pre existing knowledge. To achieve this, not only academic aptitude is highly pivotal, a strong and individual-catered means of transferring said intelligence is vital. This is one of the factors which differ classroom teachers from tutors as they are…

Shainie has proven herself to be flexible and sensitive to my daughter's needs. I would recommend her, particularly if your child is struggling with various mathematical concepts. She is great.

Inside Barrack HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Molly worked on understanding proportionality in mathematics, specifically focusing on converting between km/hr and m/s using constants of proportionality.

Year 9 student Sophie tackled solving equations with fractions and revisited key algebra skills to reinforce her confidence.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Amy revised financial mathematics by working through tax and wages problems, and explored compound interest calculations relevant to the senior curriculum.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, a student hesitated to write out each step in algebra problems, leading to repeated sign errors and confusion when reviewing past work—"she frequently looks at the wrong information when referring back to worksheets," one tutor observed.

During senior-level financial maths revision, missing clear headings and labels made it difficult to track which question was being answered, causing extra time lost during test preparation.

Earlier in Year 8, anxiety around tests led to rushed reading of worded questions, so key details were missed or misunderstood.

Confidence dipped after mistakes but improved with clearer working and careful checking.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Barrack Heights noticed a Year 10 student who used to rush through algebra problems now pausing to check her working, spotting and fixing errors herself—something she hadn't done before.

In a recent high school session, another student who struggled with finance topics last term demonstrated clear improvement by accurately solving compound interest questions without prompting.

Meanwhile, a primary schooler who was previously hesitant to ask for help started bringing tricky geometry homework to the session and asking targeted questions about shapes and formulas.

Last week, that same student completed every worksheet question on her own for the first time.

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Warilla Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Warilla High School.
