Science Tutor Long Jetty, NSW
By first giving the student the necessary skills to complete a range of questions this equips them with the tools to complete any question. I then allow the student to make the mistake first and learn from it by helping them change what they did. This is then followed up with an example response to a question then the student is given the chance…

Science Tutor Halekulani, NSW
I believe that as a tutor, my most crucial roles involve instilling self-confidence in my students, providing reliability, simplifying complex concepts, and fostering a genuine passion for the subjects they study. In my four years as a teacher in Italy, I've honed my tutoring skills with a strong emphasis on empathy for young minds, coupled with…

Science Tutor Tumbi Umbi, NSW
I think the most important things a tutor can do are to build the student's confidence, explain concepts in a way that suits their learning style, and create a supportive environment where they feel comfortable asking questions. It's not just about giving them the answers, it's about helping them understand the process so they can become…

Science Tutor Hamlyn Terrace, NSW
The most important thing a tutor could do is create a safe environment for the student. Learning can be more comprehensive and explicit once the student is comfortable around their tutor’s presence. The tutor also must maintain and adhere to an elaborate study plan to help the student. I am very patient and would never snap even on being asked…

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be encouraging and understanding. As a student it can be hard and that is the reason you are getting tutoring. So to have someone encourage you can be a great reason to keep learning. I think my strengths as a tutor would be my patience and communication skills, as they are…

I think that as a tutor you must listen to what your student needs and give that to them. Each student will learn differently so it is extremely important that as a tutor you tailor your teaching approach to that student and their needs in order for them to learn best. As I just left school in 2021 I have a good understanding of the pressures and…

Madeleine has shown our daughter such patience & kindness. We have only had a few sessions and so far it has encouraged our daughter to do more maths in between her sessions with Madeleine. Let's hope the trajectory continues but so far we are off to a good start!

Inside TuggerawongTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Chloe worked on converting fractions to decimals and multiplying fractions, as well as practicing time skills using the 24-hour clock.

Year 8 student Lucas explored scientific notation and applied trigonometric ratios, including solving problems involving triangles with diagrams.

For Year 10, Priya tackled financial maths by calculating interest amounts and interpreting time periods and rates of interest, while also reviewing key concepts in linear inequalities.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student faced challenges with inequalities, as "ran out of time to fully cover" meant they couldn't consolidate algebra and simultaneous equations—time management during lessons remains an issue.

In Year 7 algebra, skipping key steps in problems led to errors with brackets and signs; one tutor noted, "needs to focus on each step especially brackets and signs."

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner avoided writing out full working for fraction-to-decimal conversions, often erasing mistakes rather than correcting them openly. This made it harder to pinpoint misunderstandings, slowing progress when new concepts appeared in later sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Tuggerawong tutor noted that a Year 11 student, Josh, who previously struggled with algebraic substitution, was able to solve simultaneous equations independently after working through his sticking points step by step.

In a recent session with a Year 9 student, the tutor observed a shift: instead of guessing when stuck on ratios and rates, she began asking targeted questions to clarify her thinking before attempting each problem.

Meanwhile, during primary sessions, one younger student who often hesitated with word problems about time surprised his tutor by drawing clocks accurately for both 12-hour and 24-hour formats without any prompts.

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 Lake Haven Library & Council Services—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tuggerawong Public School.
