Legal Studies Tutor North Avoca, NSW
Personalise the experience. It is vital to get t know the student, their concerns, their best learning style.

Christopher
Legal Studies Tutor Lisarow, NSW
Building a proper connection with the student in order to get them to trust and listen to you is inarguably the most important thing a tutor can do for a student. Once that relationship is built, the student and tutor can not only pass but excel in their given subject thanks to that built trust. It can really fast-track a struggling student. I'm…

Kayla
Legal Studies Tutor Wyoming, NSW
The most important things a tutor can do for a student are to offer encouragement, build trust and provide clear explanations. It is essential that a safe space is created for the student to ask questions and make mistakes. This will ultimately allow students to effectively engage with the material provided by taking risks with their learning. I…

Cyrus
Legal Studies Tutor North Avoca, NSW
The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student in my opinion is to give them guidance on how to be successful in the subject we tutor. At the end of the day we only see them once or twice a week. We can't teach them everything. So it is important that we guide them on how to learn and study in order to be successful. Myt strength lies…

Inside HolgateTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 9 student Chloe revised formulae and equations, including applying the speed, distance, and time relationships to practice questions she found challenging.
Year 10 student Rory worked through trigonometry problems using SOHCAHTOA for finding side lengths and angles, as well as tackling compound interest and ratio calculations from a recent test.
For Year 5, Rudy focused on adding hours and minutes to given times—sometimes dealing with over 100 hours—and practiced long division strategies through word problems supported by visual worksheets.
Recent Challenges
In Year 10, messy working in graphing led to "incorrect graphs" and confusion, as noted when axes were hard to read.
A Year 11 student facing HSC topics showed signs of reduced confidence and avoided harder questions unless prompted, which slowed skill development.
One Year 8 learner repeatedly left homework incomplete; a tutor observed, "she did not do her homework set for her last week," making it difficult to track progress.
In primary years, inconsistent column alignment in long division created calculation errors that required extra time to untangle, especially during larger-number tasks.
Recent Achievements
One Holgate tutor noticed that Olivia, a high school student, now consistently writes out area formulas and substitutes values step-by-step when solving geometry problems—something she'd previously rushed through or skipped.
Another win came from Rudy in Year 7: after initially relying on examples for long division, he's begun checking his own answers by reverse-multiplying and even created his own mnemonic to remember the process.
Meanwhile, Lilly (Year 6) showed real change by asking her tutor not to help so she could attempt tricky fraction questions independently—a shift from needing prompts just a few weeks ago.

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 Erina Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Holgate Public School.
