Modern History Tutor Beacon Hill, NSW
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to support them without judgement. Whether that support comes in smaller forms of teaching students concepts they may struggle with or encouraging students to not give up. As a tutor I think my greatest strengths are bringing in a passion and enjoyment for the subjects I tutor and…

Modern History Tutor Forestville, NSW
I believe a tutor should always be reliable, punctual, patient, kind, and supportive - as this creates a safe learning environment for all students. I am newly graduated, meaning I still recall all the emotions and stresses of high school, and know the content and structure of various subjects extremely well. I excelled at my own school in English…

Modern History Tutor Church Point, NSW
1. Help them towards their study milestones so they have an unhindered path towards any given career of choice. 3. Understand something rather than memorising it. I hold this statement in significance. Having studied in different countries I understand the difference in teaching. Tutoring being 1 on 1 or in small groups allows for this. I…

I think the most important thing for a tutor to do is to continue to provide ongoing support for its student. The tutor needs to help the student through their educational journey by providing extensive resources for their students in order for them to grow to become successful students. I am quite flexible with my time which allows me to help my…

It is crucial that a tutor be patient with students and understanding of their learning background. A tutor also has to be flexible and attentive to their students to know when one approach to a subject is not working for them or another is needed. My most useful strength as a tutor that I have developed while working at a tutoring center is…

Often in school, teachers teach a subject in only one way rather than catering for each individual in the class, which can often make students feel 'dumb' or hate the subject. I believe the most important things that a tutor can do for a student is to show them the many different ways to approach the subject and help them to find a new way that…

Teach. Not just the lesson at hand, and not just the syllabus, but to teach generally, and to teach widely. I have an incredibly wide knowledge set, dabbling in English, mathematics, language in general (including quite a bit of Latin), history, science, and philosophy most of all; but these aren't truly separate fields, given how thoroughly they…

I believe one of the things a tutor should find important is to help find coping mechanisms the students can use to ease their exam anxiety. As well as that I believe a tutor should work at the pace that best suits the student rather than the tutor. I believe that I am an outgoing, confident and kind person who can get along with all types of…

Everything is going well. Frances is great.

Inside Terrey HillsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Viktoria focused on simplifying proper and improper fractions using shared whiteboard examples, and also practised calculating perimeter and area through independent worksheets and revision of missed homework questions.

Year 9 student Lachlan worked on factorising quadratic equations, grouping like terms, and used Desmos to visualise graphs for a better grasp of algebraic relationships between x and y.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Brandon revised simultaneous equations with X and Y intercepts, explored the quadratic formula, and discussed geometry concepts from recent test material.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 mathematics, one student repeatedly lost marks when questions required justification or a specific number of significant figures—he wrote, "solve" when the question demanded "evaluate," which cost him full credit in exam conditions.

In Year 11, illegible handwriting and incomplete working out meant that even correct logic was sometimes not credited: as noted, "handwriting is sometimes illegible—it is unhelpful and often times marked down because the examiner cannot read what you wrote."

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner's attention drifted during activities, making it difficult to sustain focus for more than ten minutes at a time; this shortened concentration led to tasks being left unfinished.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Terrey Hills noticed Brandon, a Year 11 student, who previously relied on hints for trigonometry and surds, now confidently tackles advanced GCSE-level papers independently—even choosing tougher questions without prompting.

In Year 8, Veronica used to overlook key details in word problems but has started highlighting keywords herself, which led her to complete all multiplication worksheets accurately under timed conditions.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student, Viktoria, who once hesitated with long division, surprised her tutor this week by working through multi-step division questions alone and finishing them before asking for 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 Terrey Hills Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Terrey Hills Public School.
