Thomas
Ancient History Tutor Dolans Bay, NSW
I believe the three most important things I could do for a student is academic support, addressing study habits and confronting weaknesses. I believe focusing on these three aspects will do the upmost for the student in the short and long term. I’ve grown up and worked with people from across the socio-economic spectrum, I think I have a…

Inside MaianbarTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 4 Thomas explored addition, subtraction, telling time, identifying shapes, and skip counting to check his foundational maths skills.
For Year 8 Jess, work focused on mastering angle identities—such as co-interior, alternate, corresponding—and recognising complementary and supplementary angles using clear diagrams.
Meanwhile, Year 10 Olivia practised applying Pythagoras' Theorem in worded problems and tackled area questions involving circles with given radius or diameter.
Recent Challenges
In Year 10 mathematics, one student often rushed to answers without showing working; as a tutor noted, "he skipped steps in algebra, which hid sign errors." This led to time lost correcting avoidable mistakes instead of building deeper understanding.
For a Year 12 humanities subject, difficulty adapting writing style and collecting sources during research tasks meant extra hours spent retracing material later.
Meanwhile, in Year 6, messy handwriting ("the number 8 can look like a 6") caused confusion when reviewing calculations—sometimes the right answer was marked wrong due to legibility issues.
These process habits shaped their day-to-day learning experiences.
Recent Achievements
A tutor in Maianbar noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated with probability now confidently tackles more advanced questions, even surprising himself during revision when he handled trickier problems with ease.
Another high schooler, after struggling to link historical sources to essay prompts, recently managed to connect rubric points independently and different perspectives while working through a practice paper.
Meanwhile, a Year 3 student who once waited for direction now announces answers out loud and insists on "working it out in her head" before checking—she finished all the addition questions without any prompting this week.

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 Bundeena Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Lilli Pilli Public School.
