Enabling the student to provide by example, and helping them appreciate the usefulness of a result. Overall I think it provides a good perspective for later in life. A strong background with theoretical physics (quantum thermodynamics) research in academia. I believe I should work on my ability to transfer those skills into a teaching environment.…

I consider that the most important thing a student can do for a student is to never give up on the student. There are downtimes and a loss of motivation. I feel that the tutor should help the student through that phase and provide encouragement. Moreover, a tutor should give time and support to the student. I think my strength as a tutor is that I…

It was lovely meeting Jessie yesterday and she and Mikayla clicked immediately. It was great to see Mikayla engaging so well when strategies were explained and we are sure they will work very well together.
Linda

Inside Biggera WatersTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sophie worked on time conversions, including interpreting time zones, and practiced applying ratios to real-world problems.

For Year 9, Riley focused on trigonometry basics—using sine, cosine, and tangent to solve right-angled triangle questions—and reviewed area and perimeter of composite shapes with guided examples.

Meanwhile, Suneha in Year 11 tackled advanced calculus concepts such as finding derivatives and applied these skills to sketching graphs of functions and identifying gradients.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student missed completing set algebra and ratios homework, which limited opportunities to reinforce multiplication and division skills—"he hasn't done the homework I gave on 10th."

In Year 10 trigonometry, another student skipped writing out equations, relying instead on mental calculations; this led to sign errors and lost marks.

A Year 11 learner struggled with time management in a practice test, leaving questions unfinished despite available minutes.

For a Year 7 geometry task, messy working and failure to show steps made it hard to catch mistakes during review, causing frustration when errors went undetected until correction time.

Recent Achievements

One Biggera Waters tutor observed a notable shift with a Year 10 student who used to stay quiet during sessions; now, he talks through his problem-solving steps out loud and asks for help when stuck, instead of just guessing.

A Year 12 student recently mastered analysing time series data—she's now able to interpret patterns independently after previously hesitating with this type of analysis.

In primary, one Year 5 learner initially struggled with basic time conversions but, after a few examples, began solving problems alone and even explained her reasoning as she worked through the questions herself.

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 Runaway Bay Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Biggera Waters State School.
