The most important thing is for a tutor to understand a student's preferences and what sort of teaching style would suit them. Different people have different learning suitabilities. Thus, a tutor should be able to adapt to suit the student's learning cues. My biggest strengths would be patience, determination, and the willingness to go above and…

Inside BotanyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Andre worked on algebra revision and solved practice problems using the quadratic formula, then applied the interest formula (IPRT) to worded questions.

For Year 9, Chloe tackled Pythagoras' theorem and trigonometry concepts, including sine and cosine relationships while completing her maths assignment.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Lily focused on revising equations with one unknown and practised geometry involving triangles in preparation for her upcoming school exam.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student repeatedly hesitated with worded maths problems, often "getting nervous and abandoning her first strategy if it took too long." This avoidance led to incomplete solutions, especially in multi-step geometry or pie chart tasks.

In senior English, a Year 11 student did not bring drafts for discursive essays, making it impossible to review and edit structure or elevate language mid-lesson; as one tutor noted, "access to writing before the lesson is essential."

In Year 9 algebra revision, another student preferred working in cramped spaces rather than spreading out their calculations—errors became harder to spot and correct on crowded pages.

Recent Achievements

One Botany tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to freeze up on unfamiliar geometry questions now starts each problem by talking aloud and underlining only the key information, which has helped her tackle even multi-step problems without reminders.

In a recent high school English session, another student took the initiative to edit her discursive essay before the lesson, so she could focus solely on refining her reflection during tutoring—something she hadn't done independently before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who struggled with division now solves these problems more easily after adopting a new method and explaining his steps out loud.

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 Mascot Library (incl. the George Hanna Memorial Museum)—or at your child's school (with permission), like Botany Public School.
