Biology Tutor West Wollongong, NSW
The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to both create a positive connection with the student and still have fun whilst completing work as well as explain the foundational knowledge for concepts being taught. Explaining why for many subjects is simply brushed over in the majority of school, but understanding why allows…

In my eyes, the best tutor will: 1) Identify the student’s academic goals and work together to create an effectively and realistic plan. 2) Build engaging lessons that truely focus on the students greatest concerns/weakest areas so they feel confident to tackle any related question the HSC may throw at them! 3) Offer support outside of…

Tutors are there to solidify the concepts that the student has already learned and to ensure that these concepts are understood in the way they work and interact with other aspects of the subject. Being able to apply concepts in the wider aspects of life is also important. I am able to communicate ideas clearly to a student. I also find it easy to…

Get them feeling comfortable with the fundamentals of what they are struggling with and create a deep-level understanding of the topic. Most importantly, teach them how to think, not what to think. This will give them the cognitive tools that they can apply to future problems. Patience and empathy. I understand everyone learns differently and…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to identify the weakness of the student so that they can work together to sort things. Another important task is to simplify the materials so that each and every student can learn them in their own pace.

I can understand the children mentality and this…

Inside Farmborough HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Charlie practised long addition with carrying and worked on simple subtraction using written examples.

In Year 9, Daniel focused on linear equations with negative numbers and fractions, as well as plotting points and values on the Cartesian plane, before moving onto perimeter calculations and square unit conversions.

For Year 11, Nicholas reviewed non-right angled trigonometry—particularly bearings—and completed revision of algebraic substitution problems using targeted past HSC questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 algebra, one student was reluctant to show working and often kept calculations in their head; as a tutor noted, "it is difficult knowing where she is stuck if she keeps her process contained within her mind." This led to missed feedback opportunities and repeated errors.

A Year 8 student relied heavily on calculator inputs for linear equations but struggled to clearly transfer results onto paper, resulting in incomplete finishing statements.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner's written work sometimes lacked clear logic in multiplication—mistakes compounded when sentence questions weren't translated into sums.

In senior maths, exam preparation faltered when revision focused only on familiar question types rather than new or challenging formats.

Recent Achievements

A Farmborough Heights tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to doubt her algebra skills now independently tackles equations with variables, checking her answers without prompting.

In a senior session, one student who previously struggled with trigonometry began identifying which trig function to use and isolating unknowns correctly after practicing right-angled triangle problems.

Meanwhile, in Year 3 maths, a younger learner who often made mistakes with carrying in addition completed her homework error-free for the first time and remembered to mark her tens throughout all sums.

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 Eagle Vale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cedars Christian College.
