Brittany
Tutor Berowra, NSW
One of the most important things a tutor can do is motivate a student to try their best. A tutor should commend a student when succeeding, and encourage them when they are struggling. I go beyond the syllabus and love to teach students all the skills I have picked up over the years, such as study habits and stress management. With my tutoring,…

Habel Abraham
Tutor Berowra, NSW
I believe the most important asset a tutor can have is the ability to listen.

It is crucial that the tutor listens to and understands the students needs and…

William
Tutor Church Point, NSW
Being a good listener and adjusting to what I think is best for them for me is very important. Some students may be fully motivated to do the best they can and I can therefore assign them with homework, whilst also ensuring they don't feel either overwhelmed or not receiving enough, which therefore requires communication. The next important thing…

Listen. I think it is pivotal for a tutor to be able to listen to the student. Be it regarding concepts or content, or just a tutors teaching style. Listening and responding to feedback is essential.

Inside Cottage PointTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 5 student Charlie worked on multiplying and dividing fractions, as well as strategies for converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers.
For Year 8, Jess focused on scientific notation and significant figures, tackling practice problems to strengthen her accuracy with large and small numbers.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ryan completed work on annuities and loan repayments in financial mathematics, calculating future values using formulas relevant to real-life finance scenarios.
Recent Challenges
A Year 10 student often skipped writing out working in algebra and surds, which cost marks on recent tests—"full pages with no working in his latest tests and lost a lot of marks there."
In Year 11 Financial Maths, a student relied heavily on calculator methods for frequency tables but hadn't memorised the key formulas, so struggled to choose between the BAC and 'hours to wait' formulas under test pressure.
Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner frequently missed critical question details when calculating discounts or reading word problems, leading to incomplete answers even after correct calculations.
Recent Achievements
A Cottage Point tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to mix up compound and simple interest formulas is now confidently choosing the right one for each question, even adjusting for monthly or quarterly compounding without prompts.
Meanwhile, a Year 12 student has gone from needing step-by-step help with network diagrams to drawing them independently and accurately, even explaining how loops count as just one edge.
On the primary side, one Year 4 student who hesitated over improper fractions can now convert them to mixed numbers at speed, handling new questions on her own.

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 Berowra Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cowan Public School.
