I think the most important thing I can do for s student is encouraging them to believe in themselves and their abilities. By allowing children chances of success their confidence can be built and they can do what they before believed impossible. I also feel like changing children's attitude to foster a love of learning can stand them in great…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to engage in thorough discussions about their thought processes, providing real-time feedback. This approach, which I valued greatly during my own tutoring experience in Year 12, helps students refine their problem-solving skills and deepen their understanding. A key strength of mine as a…

Create a space of no judgement, there are a lot of questions that students find intimidating to ask in a class environment, so as a tutor, creating a safe space for them to ask those questions is the most important goal to achieve. Not only does this allow for a further understanding of a topic, but also allows the student to be able to enjoy the…

To give to the student not only the knowledge of how a task is completed or formula applied, but an understanding of the logic in why this is utilised or possible. The ability to apply mathematics to a situation through the correct understanding of what needs to be done and what knowledge can be used to accomplish that end, is more necessary and…

I believe a tutor should be understanding, patient, passionate, and encouraging.

You must be there to support them through their obstacles and successes and be an ear to listen when things become overwhelming. A tutor…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient and humble. While certain concepts may come naturally to the tutor, this is not always the case for the student.

Helping them to develop their own learning style, or styles, to perform in a variety of circumstances is one of the most critical things a tutor can impart on a student.

Inside Curl CurlTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Seth worked through **fractions** and practiced applying area formulas for rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles using diagrams.

For Year 9, Zane tackled finding **gradients and equations of straight lines** in coordinate geometry, then moved on to sequences and series with a focus on real-world examples.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student covered **financial maths by applying sequences and series to solve practical interest rate problems**, alongside revision of statistics concepts like mean and median.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, a student "skipped showing steps in balancing variables," which made it hard to pinpoint where confusion crept in.

During Year 11 coordinate geometry, avoiding working out new types of equations led to errors when only points were given—one note reads, "he rushed and missed key parts."

A Year 7 student tackling area formulas tended to guess answers rather than work through the method, especially with shapes like trapeziums.

When faced with challenging worded questions in Year 5 maths, impatience meant the full problem wasn't read carefully, leaving gaps in comprehension and accuracy.

Recent Achievements

One Curl Curl tutor noticed a Year 10 student who, after initially struggling with transforming equations, is now confidently converting general forms into gradient-intercept form and finding gradients with much less prompting.

In a recent session, a Year 8 student who used to rush through algebraic questions and make frequent errors took more time and completed all assigned problems with only minor mistakes—showing real growth in careful problem-solving.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student has become noticeably quicker at recalling her 3-times tables, picking up new methods to remember each set after previously hesitating when asked without prompts.

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 Dee Why Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Curl Curl North Public School.
