Modern History Tutor Dolans Bay, NSW
I believe the three most important things I could do for a student is academic support, addressing study habits and confronting weaknesses. I believe focusing on these three aspects will do the upmost for the student in the short and long term. I’ve grown up and worked with people from across the socio-economic spectrum, I think I have a…

Modern History Tutor Taren Point, NSW
The most important aspect of tutoring, besides providing students with better grades, is allowing them to feel comfortable when I am tutoring them. A logical concomitant of comfort is a better ability to learn and as a consequence better results. Thus, I place a great emphasis on understanding the idiosyncrasies of the student and allowing them to…

Modern History Tutor Kareela, NSW
The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to help them improve as much as they can in a given subject. I feel confident in a leadership and teaching role due to my previous experience leading primary and high school aged kids at my church. I am also patient and very eager to help improve the skills of any students in their…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to inspire students to reach their full potential and encourage them to do their absolute best. I believe as a tutor I will be determined and motivated to see my students succeed, not giving up until they understand completely the topic in question. I believe my high level of english skills will allow me…

Build a relationship with them. I believe that the learning will be far more effective for the student if there is a strong relationship between myself and the student. This way, I will be able to differentiate my teaching methods to best suits the learning needs of the student. I am extremely patient. I am very calm and believe myself to be very…

Modern History Tutor Jannali, NSW
Be encouraging - Student's won't understand something straight away and this can be a source of discouragement for them. The last thing they need is a tutor who refuses to acknowledge this. Constantly encouraing the student will help them realise it will only be a matter of time until they nail a concept. Be a friend - The idea of a tutor is to…

Modern History Tutor Kogarah Bay, NSW
I believe that the tutor's purpose is not to make the student rely on them, but rather to give them the tools to figure things out for themselves. Tutors need to be able to communicate easily and coherently, in order to ensure that the student can understand. I believe I am patient and willing to work at something until the other person…

Inside BurraneerTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 Thomas reviewed addition, subtraction, telling time, basic shapes, and skip counting to assess his current maths level.

For Year 9 Maddie, recent sessions explored angle relationships such as co-interior, alternate, corresponding, supplementary, and complementary angles using visual examples.

Meanwhile, Year 10 James focused on solving algebraic equations where x is negative and practiced converting units for weight measurement.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 maths, a student often jumped straight to answers without showing working—he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors. This meant extra time was spent hunting for mistakes instead of progressing.

For a Year 12 humanities subject, one student collected sources after completing work rather than during research; as a result, it was harder to recall references when writing essays.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's untidy handwriting made numbers hard to read, occasionally causing confusion between 6 and 8 on division problems. In the moment, misreading their own work led to calculation slips and frustration.

Recent Achievements

During a Burraneer tutoring session, a high school student began to tackle complex equations independently after initially relying on step-by-step guidance; she's now explaining why each part works before moving forward.

Another tutor noticed a Year 11 student who once hesitated with probability now choosing to attempt harder revision problems unprompted and applying correct terminology throughout.

In humanities, Maiee, who previously struggled to connect sources with essay questions, is now matching evidence directly to rubric points and exploring how different perspectives could shape her argument.

Last week, she drafted an outline for an essay using her own source selections.

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 Cronulla Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Aloysius College Cronulla.
