A tutor should support the student as much as possible throughout their education. If the student is struggling with stress or work loads, I will help the student mentally and academically at all times. I will ensure the student understands every concept by providing practice papers and answering questions outside of tutoring session times as well…

No matter which subject the student is learning, s/he needs to know why s/he needs to learn it. Recently, Diane Tavenner, the innovator of American education encourages students to learn whatever they want by asking them to solve problem by themselves. In the field of applied linguistics, we call it 'boost input by producing output'. I believe…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are to provide clear explanations, foster confidence, and encourage independent thinking. A tutor should break down difficult concepts in a way that matches the student's learning style while also guiding them to think critically rather than just memorizing answers. Patience and encouragement…

I think that things are going well- we only had one session so far but Jake seems great and does a great job of explaining things to her. I will definitely comment further once we get a bit further down the line, but happy so far!

Inside FreshwaterTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Morgan worked on long division with remainders and began simplifying fractions, focusing on how improper and proper fractions differ.

In Year 8, Zane practised applying negative indices within algebraic expressions and solved problems involving gradients in linear graphs.

Year 9 student Seth tackled advanced algebra topics such as expanding brackets and equations with variables on both sides, alongside revision of circular geometry using targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Maths, one student showed a tendency to skip showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors—this made it hard to spot where things went wrong and meant repeated mistakes in multi-step problems.

For a Year 8 student, lack of confidence led them to hesitate before answering statistics questions, even when their reasoning was correct; this slowed progress and left answers unchecked.

In Year 5 English, another learner struggled to extract key points from reading tasks—often missing main ideas because smaller details became distracting.

In each case, the underlying process habits interrupted feedback and caused frustration during review.

Recent Achievements

One Freshwater tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after lots of targeted practice, now pinpoints where he goes wrong in chemistry problems and can quickly fix his own mistakes—something he used to avoid tackling independently.

In Year 9 maths, another student has become much faster at answering questions accurately and now volunteers for harder problems without waiting to be prompted, showing real initiative compared to earlier sessions.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who previously hesitated during reading is now extracting key points from stories by herself and happily explains them aloud after finishing each passage.

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 Warringah Mall Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St John the Baptist Catholic Primary School.
