I believe, more than anything else, that a tutoring space should feel judgement free for a student. A student should not feel hesitant to ask questions or to clarify a concept. In fact, I believe it to be a good sign if a student is able to outright say that my explanation is not what they need or understand. Fostering such a safe and trusting…

Besides from general knowledge of the subjects, understanding the strengths as well as weaknesses of the students is a must for personal tutors. We can develop the most effective way to teach if we are fully aware of these factors. Also, one of the most important things a tutor can do is to be patient and considerate with their students. This way…

It is to be able to get students to, first of all, enjoy learning their subjects. Once they love what they are learning, it is crucial to gradually improve their skills to achieve the highest outcome possible for them. I am very persistent in helping students with their struggles and friendly in my interaction with…

Inside NewcombTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Eliz focused on double digit multiplication and long division, followed by an introduction to the concept of factors using targeted practice problems.

Year 8 student Mia revised linear equations and practiced graphing algebraic functions, with extra attention given to interpreting tables of values for parabolas.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Liam worked through calculus skills including anti-differentiation, applying these techniques to find areas under curves and revisiting trigonometric integration through exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

For a Year 4 maths student, repeatedly forgetting to bring essential materials like books and calculators meant valuable lesson time was spent improvising rather than consolidating division and multiplication skills.

In senior maths (Year 11), one student's over-reliance on mental calculations—especially in Pythagoras' Theorem—led to persistent errors; as the tutor put it, "She needs to remember she doesn't have to do all the maths in her head."

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student hesitated to trust their instincts during calculus questions, second-guessing themselves even when they knew the process, which slowed progress through complex integrals.

Recent Achievements

A Newcomb tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who had struggled with anti-differentiation now picking up the formula for brackets independently and using coordinates to find equations without prompting.

In another high school session, a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to attempt tougher exam questions began eliminating wrong answers methodically and used her calculator confidently for graphing tasks.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who often waited for reassurance before reading aloud started tackling new texts by herself, self-correcting tricky words as she went. Last week, she finished her chosen storybook chapter out loud without pausing for help.

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 Newcomb Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Christ the King School.
