CHING YAN
Tutor Coogee, NSW
I think building their confidence matters just as much as building their knowledge as a lot of students who are struggling have already convinced themselves they're "just bad" at the subject and that mindset needs undoing before the content even sinks in. Beyond that, a tutor should listen to where a student's getting stuck instead of assuming, be…

I believe the most important thing about a tutor is being able to provide self-confidence for the student.

I have found that when students believe they have the ability to complete the question, they are more likely to ask questions and understand the…

Inside CoogeeTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 4 student Robbie focused on multiplying and dividing fractions, then compared different fraction values using visual aids.
In Year 10, Claire worked through compound and simple interest calculations as well as interpreting compounded value tables for financial maths topics.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex explored the declining-balance method of depreciation and reducing-balance loans, with practical examples to deepen understanding of financial mathematics concepts.
Recent Challenges
A Year 10 student's test performance revealed persistent timing issues—"still struggling to complete tests in the correct time frame"—with rushed endings leading to unfinished questions in algebra.
For Year 11 Physics, forgotten content after missed sessions resulted in gaps that "couldn't be covered quickly before the test," causing anxiety and confusion.
In Year 6 Maths, unorganized note-taking meant key formulas were missing when revising fractions.
Another senior student hesitated to write working out for worded problems: "He holds back in case he gets an answer wrong," so mistakes remained hidden and feedback couldn't be used effectively.
Recent Achievements
One Coogee tutor recently saw a Year 9 student, previously hesitant to ask for help, now actively seeking clarification whenever confused—a big change from just nodding along in earlier sessions.
A Year 11 student has started fixing mistakes independently after only one correction, where before he would repeat the same error several times.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who used to stumble over times tables is now recalling them more smoothly each week and even completed a new set without prompts during their last session.
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 Randwick Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Brigid's Catholic Primary School.
