The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be a kind, and patient individual. So often people don’t want to ask for help especially students since they fear being judged or that their question won’t get answered. This is why I think being someone your student can trust is very important in helping them learn. Patient, good…

Depending on how much help the student needs, the tutor might need to help them regain the basics of the subject. Further and simplified explanation is crucial to such a type of student. Students who question their abilities need reinforcement of their knowledge through exercises, feedback and encouragement from the tutor. For those who wish to…

Inside BulliTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Josh worked on solving quadratic equations using the quadratic formula and also tackled word problems involving quadratics.

For Year 9, Sarah practised sketching graphs and revisited algebraic factorisation strategies, including product and sum methods.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Daniel focused on linear equations and strengthened his understanding of rates and ratios through targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student in Bulli struggled with attention to detail when using pronumerals in algebra—assuming the order from previous questions led to errors, as one tutor observed: "He kept mixing up x and y, which changed his answer."

In Year 11, a student's exam performance was affected by feeling overwhelmed under pressure, resulting in incomplete solutions during timed tasks.

For a Year 7 learner, over-reliance on spell-check instead of practicing spelling meant written work improved slowly.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student avoided showing working for maths problems, believing answers alone were sufficient; this made it difficult to spot where misunderstandings occurred.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Bulli noticed that a Year 9 student, who previously struggled with parabolas, is now confidently describing the shapes of graphs and can quickly identify their equations without hesitation.

In another high school session, Erin was able to use both elimination and substitution methods effectively for solving equations—last term she would get stuck on which approach to try first, but this time she switched between them smoothly.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who once hesitated to use finger counting for maths problems now does so openly after some encouragement, allowing him to tackle larger addition questions with far less frustration than before.

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 Thirroul Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Joseph's Catholic Primary School.
