Create a space of no judgement, there are a lot of questions that students find intimidating to ask in a class environment, so as a tutor, creating a safe space for them to ask those questions is the most important goal to achieve. Not only does this allow for a further understanding of a topic, but also allows the student to be able to enjoy the…

It is crucial that a tutor be patient with students and understanding of their learning background. A tutor also has to be flexible and attentive to their students to know when one approach to a subject is not working for them or another is needed. My most useful strength as a tutor that I have developed while working at a tutoring center is…

It's the responsibility of a tutor to meet students where they are at. Tutors should come to learn the boundaries of what their students do and do not understand and create structure and context for pushing those boundaries to ultimately envelop the knowledge they need to succeed. This can sometimes mean "back-filling" missing knowledge or…

One of the most important skills I believe a tutor can develop is the art of explaining material in different ways. Often, when students struggle to understand some concept, explaining the material in the same way repeatedly does not help. The key then is to try approaching the material in different ways until the student can grasp it. Past tutees…

Inside Curl CurlTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Seth worked through **fractions** and practiced applying area formulas for rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles using diagrams.

For Year 9, Zane tackled finding **gradients and equations of straight lines** in coordinate geometry, then moved on to sequences and series with a focus on real-world examples.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student covered **financial maths by applying sequences and series to solve practical interest rate problems**, alongside revision of statistics concepts like mean and median.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, a student "skipped showing steps in balancing variables," which made it hard to pinpoint where confusion crept in.

During Year 11 coordinate geometry, avoiding working out new types of equations led to errors when only points were given—one note reads, "he rushed and missed key parts."

A Year 7 student tackling area formulas tended to guess answers rather than work through the method, especially with shapes like trapeziums.

When faced with challenging worded questions in Year 5 maths, impatience meant the full problem wasn't read carefully, leaving gaps in comprehension and accuracy.

Recent Achievements

One Curl Curl tutor noticed a Year 10 student who, after initially struggling with transforming equations, is now confidently converting general forms into gradient-intercept form and finding gradients with much less prompting.

In a recent session, a Year 8 student who used to rush through algebraic questions and make frequent errors took more time and completed all assigned problems with only minor mistakes—showing real growth in careful problem-solving.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student has become noticeably quicker at recalling her 3-times tables, picking up new methods to remember each set after previously hesitating when asked without prompts.

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 Dee Why Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Curl Curl North Public School.
