So even though I don't have extraordinary skills to teach them, they will learn from my explanation. But I have to know where they are at the point of time to know exactly what and how I have to teach. Having an idea of what my…

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…

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.
