Tutor North Avoca, NSW
Ultimately, there are two things. Teaching a student to be curious, and teaching a student how to learn. Education systems are designed to filter all kids through a rigid, structured system, which, although brilliant for most, loses the spirit of why we learn. Because we are curious! We like to see how things work, to investigate our world and…

I think the most important thing is approaching learning with compassion and patience. It is really important to consider that not everyone learns best with the same teaching style, and can process information at different paces. I think it's important to understand each person's learning style; if they are not understanding what you are saying,…

The most important things a tutor can do for students is to take the steps to give the student a deeper appreciation for their knowledge, and show real world applications for the skills taught. A student is more likely to pay attention if there is something they know they gain from it, rather than just higher grades. My ability to teach on a…

Provide support both academically and mentally. This can be done through practicing a topic of a subject, and also helping schedule their weeks, so they know they will still have social/leisure time, and maximize their grades and themselves. I am incredibly confident and happy to also learn new things. For example, if a student comes to me and…

I would have to say the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is show them the beauty in a subject the student may not so much enjoy. This allows the student to achieve goals as their newfound perspective on the topic has changed to positive. I personally experienced this within my own studies. I went from a poorly achieving student…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to provide guidance and help whenever a student needs it. By providing students with the necessary help on problems that they may be struggling with, they will develop their own approach to solving problems and will eventually solve similar problems without assistance.

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are to offer encouragement, build trust and provide clear explanations.

This will ultimately allow students to effectively engage with the material provided by taking risks with their learning. I…

Inside Picketts ValleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Olivia worked on applying area formulas for rectangles, triangles, and complex shapes by breaking them into simpler parts.

Year 7 Zac focused on mastering addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions, including work with mixed and improper fractions as well as simplifying results.

For Year 8 Yillen, recent lessons included practice with Pythagoras' Theorem in right-angled triangles and using graphs to find coordinates for triangle construction.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often arrived to lessons without essential materials, such as his calculator and notes, making it harder to revise topics like Pi and follow up on feedback.

In another case, a Year 5 learner's tendency to avoid writing out working for arithmetic led to confusion—"she answered one question in three different parts of the page," a tutor observed, which resulted in errors being missed.

For a senior preparing for the HSC, slow progress was noted when homework was incomplete or focus waned during revision blocks; this limited exposure to challenging questions before exam time.

Recent Achievements

One Picketts Valley tutoring session saw a Year 10 student, Olivia, move from often needing prompts to independently writing out area formulas and substituting values without hesitation—she even tackled trickier worded problems by herself.

A high school student named Zach, who was previously quiet during lessons, has started speaking up much more when problem-solving and now takes the lead in working through challenging fraction questions that used to stump him.

In Year 5, Lilly showed a real shift: instead of waiting for hints, she stopped her tutor from stepping in so she could complete equivalent fraction and percentage tasks entirely on her own.

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 Kincumber Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Terrigal High School.
