I think the greatest gift a tutor can provide to a student is support. School can often be an isolating and intimidating experience, and often students, despite being remarkably talented, feel afraid to take risks and go beyond what is expected of them. A tutor can also make the learning experience far more rewarding and enjoyable. Students feel…

Tutors are just not there to help students with their students. Their most important role is to be friends and be able to guide their students in the right direction.

Inside NormanhurstTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Emily revised trigonometry and bearings, then practiced applying graph algorithms to real-world network problems.

For Year 10, Ethan focused on algebraic factorisation and substitution skills, working through targeted homework exercises.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Olivia explored organic chemistry by learning the rules of nomenclature and identifying structural isomers using molecular diagrams.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student frequently left homework incomplete, saying "I didn't understand the questions," which meant lesson time was spent revisiting old material rather than building new skills.

In Year 7 algebra, confusion with variables led to missed steps when rearranging equations—one tutor observed, "she wrote 5–y instead of y–5."

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student often forgot times tables and hesitated with subtraction problems that involved borrowing; skipping written working increased small errors.

After missing homework or sessions, several students needed extra revision just to recall previously covered concepts—progress stalled while they regained lost ground.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Normanhurst recently saw some encouraging changes across different students.

One Year 10 student, who used to be at the bottom of his class, proudly reported he came 2nd in a recent test after working through word problems and algebra with much more independence than before.

In Year 12 Chemistry, another student started making her own mindmaps for Biology revision—something she hadn't tried previously—and now applies concepts confidently without much prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once needed frequent help finished her regular homework on her own 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 Hornsby Shire Library & Information Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Normanhurst Public School.
