I think it's incredibly important to be patient. People learn at their own paces and for those who struggle more than others, patience can help foster an environment where they feel comfortable expressing a lack of understanding in a concept and allows them to make the most of each tutoring session. It is also important to create lesson plans that…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to increase their confidence, so that even if they are struggling with a concept/ problem they know that they can achieve a solution and that they have the skills to do so. It is important that the student feels that they can achieve their goals after you have stopped tutoring them. I am a…

Have a lot of patience and not get frustrated. Find a way of explaining or doing something that the child understands. Not giving up.

I have a lot a…

I think one of the most important traits a tutor needs is patience. It is not helpful to make the student feel stupid or inadequate and of course each student is unique and learns at a different pace. Patience is pivotal to make the student feel like it is a safe space to ask questions, be willing to rephrase concepts until they understand and…

Prior to anything a tutor must undertand the student's goals and objectives. It is only after this that the tutor should then understand what kind of person the student is, motivational factors behind the interest in learning, and how to communicate more effectively when transfering knowledge. The student's personality is also a key factor to…

Inside North Curl CurlTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Leo practised times tables up to 12 and solved word problems involving vertices, faces, and edges.

For Year 9, Charlotte focused on coordinate geometry—finding gradients and equations of straight lines—and also revised statistics by interpreting data sets.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sam worked through trigonometry topics such as bearings and angle of elevation, using diagrams to visualise real-world scenarios, alongside a session on differentiation basics.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student raced through coordinate geometry questions but skipped showing working, making it hard to spot calculation slips—"needs to slow down and show working," one tutor noted.

In Year 11 English, a reluctance to plan essays led to unclear topic sentences and weak evidence selection; this left paragraphs muddled when tackling module responses.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner grew impatient with multi-step money problems, often guessing rather than applying known strategies.

When revising times tables in Year 5, anxiety about mistakes caused over-erasing, leaving written work messy and incomplete by the end of the session.

Recent Achievements

One North Curl Curl tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to rush through exam questions is now taking time to check for "silly mistakes" after discussing his recent results, leading to fewer errors.

In Year 11 English, a student who previously struggled to connect ideas in essays has started using clearer PEEL structures and linking techniques, which showed up as stronger analysis in their latest draft.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once hesitated with subtraction now completes problems much more quickly and confidently—she finished an entire set independently this week without needing 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.
