So I am good with kids that are struggling to understand. I use the 4 predominant learning styles:…

In my experience tutoring students, as well as being a student myself, I believe a person needs to do four main things in order to be a good tutor; they need to be able to assess what their students are lacking, know what you can do to improve on their skills, communicate well, and boost the overall confidence of the student and the confidence…

The most important things a tutor can do for the student is to really get to know the strengths and weaknesses of the student. In identifying the strengths you can use these to help improve the weaker areas of learning. My strengths are being a patient and well resourced tutor.

Modern History Tutor Penrose, NSW
Tutoring is important in helping students who struggle with certain topics/points of focus. It helps with arranging a classroom setting outside schooling so that the student can focus on their work. My strength as a tutor is the ability to explains topics in different viewpoints and methodologies to help the student understand in their own way so…

Inside Barrack HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Molly worked on understanding proportionality in mathematics, specifically focusing on converting between km/hr and m/s using constants of proportionality.

Year 9 student Sophie tackled solving equations with fractions and revisited key algebra skills to reinforce her confidence.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Amy revised financial mathematics by working through tax and wages problems, and explored compound interest calculations relevant to the senior curriculum.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, a student hesitated to write out each step in algebra problems, leading to repeated sign errors and confusion when reviewing past work—"she frequently looks at the wrong information when referring back to worksheets," one tutor observed.

During senior-level financial maths revision, missing clear headings and labels made it difficult to track which question was being answered, causing extra time lost during test preparation.

Earlier in Year 8, anxiety around tests led to rushed reading of worded questions, so key details were missed or misunderstood.

Confidence dipped after mistakes but improved with clearer working and careful checking.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Barrack Heights noticed a Year 10 student who used to rush through algebra problems now pausing to check her working, spotting and fixing errors herself—something she hadn't done before.

In a recent high school session, another student who struggled with finance topics last term demonstrated clear improvement by accurately solving compound interest questions without prompting.

Meanwhile, a primary schooler who was previously hesitant to ask for help started bringing tricky geometry homework to the session and asking targeted questions about shapes and formulas.

Last week, that same student completed every worksheet question on her own for the first time.

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