Help them enjoy learning. The role of a tutor should be to engage the student and make the learning process fun, encouraging them to put more effort into their learning, consequently improving their results.

Inside Empire BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Zac focused on dividing fractions and multiplying mixed fractions, using step-by-step examples to strengthen understanding.

For Year 8, Jasmine worked through finding unknown angles in right-angled triangles with Pythagoras' theorem and SOHCAHTOA, applying these methods to her homework problems.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ben tackled rearranging formulae to change the subject and practiced substituting values into equations for homework assignments, consolidating his algebra skills.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student arrived to the lesson without his notes or workbook, making targeted revision difficult; as noted, "he left his notes and school work book at school so he didn't have any guidelines for revision."

In a senior session on trigonometry and equations, one student relied heavily on mental calculations but sometimes omitted working out, especially when rearranging SOHCAHTOA formulas—errors with signs slipped through unnoticed.

Meanwhile, a primary student hesitated to attempt unfamiliar worded money problems until encouraged to draw diagrams.

When homework was set for clock models, it was not always completed, which slowed concept recap in later lessons.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Empire Bay recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to struggle with rearranging algebraic formulas now confidently solves for unknowns and even explains his reasoning aloud without prompting.

Another high schooler, previously hesitant to speak up, began actively asking questions during lessons and completed all assigned graphing problems using his calculator independently—something he'd never attempted solo before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who once guessed at worded money questions started drawing currency diagrams unprompted to check her answers, then finished her set of addition and subtraction problems without any errors.

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 Umina Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Empire Bay Public School.
