Tutor Queenscliff, NSW
Have a lot of patience and not get frustrated. Find a way of explaining or doing something that the child understands. Not giving up. A child who doesn’t understand can get frustrated and it is important for the tutor to motivate the child and try to find a way to tutor the child that focuses on their specific learning style. I have a lot a…

I think the most important thing I can do for s student is encouraging them to believe in themselves and their abilities. By allowing children chances of success their confidence can be built and they can do what they before believed impossible. I also feel like changing children's attitude to foster a love of learning can stand them in great…

I think the most important thing may be to identify the individual needs of the student. During my work as an educational-psychological advisor, I used to write detailed reports outlining the student's strengths, learning style, and goals. When this was followed up, it made a very positive impact on the student's learning outcomes. I believe that…

I believe it is highly important to listen to your students.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is being prepared.

Additionally, the tutor needs to maintain…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be somewhat a friend rather than just an instructor or teacher. This is because I believe establishing a bit of a personal bond is very important for a successful tutor-tutee relationship as the student is more likely to be open about more of the issues that they face, both…

Local Reviews

Excellent and responsive customer advice. The tutor we've been matched with is wonderful.
Kathryn Lamond, Queenscliff

Inside QueenscliffTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Toren practised multiplication with more than two digits using lattice multiplication and worked independently on one-digit multiplication with carrying.

Year 6 student Morgan focused on correcting decimal worksheets for improved accuracy and then moved to advanced multiplication, applying lattice methods to problems involving larger numbers.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Charlie completed NAPLAN maths practice sheets, reviewing skills in number sense and basic operations as part of homework support.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student repeatedly mixed up addition and subtraction when working independently, especially during homework involving borrowing—"her homework shows that she confuses addition and subtraction during independent work."

In upper primary maths, another struggled to systematically show all steps in long division and fraction simplification; she often relied on intuition but missed key algorithmic steps, making errors harder to find.

At the high school level, one Year 10 student skimmed through exam questions too quickly without fully extracting what was being asked—this led to misinterpreting multi-step problems in algebra and losing marks despite knowing the concepts.

Recent Achievements

One Queenscliff tutor noted a big shift with a Year 8 student who used to rush through fraction questions and miss key steps; now, after patient practice, she's pausing to check her work and caught her own error on an equivalent fractions problem before moving on.

A Year 10 student has started asking for clarification in algebra sessions instead of staying quiet when confused—a real change from his earlier reluctance to engage. Started asking for clarification is a meaningful step forward in his confidence and participation.

In Year 5 maths, one student initially found lattice multiplication overwhelming but is now working independently through each step and completed her latest worksheet without any 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 Northern Beaches Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Stella Maris College.
