Biology Tutor Bomaderry, NSW
Being patient, encouraging and compassionate to students, particularly those who struggle to grasp content, have learning difficulties and those that suffer from anxiety. Also, being an enthusiastic tutor is important to engage students in their learning and to make mundane topics seem more interesting. I am knowledgeable in my subject areas and…

Local Reviews

From the moment Jess walked in the door she was engaging and warm. My daughter took to Jess straight away and the teaching methods were at my daughter's pace and gave her confidence in maths again. I'm glad I made the decision to use a tutor at this crucial at the start of high school. I'm already impressed by Jess' professionalism and successful teaching methods.

Inside NumbaaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Max focused on trigonometry, practicing finding unknown side lengths in right-angled triangles and working with area calculations for composite shapes.

For Year 10, Sarah worked through algebraic skills including factorising and solving two-step equations, using classwork examples to target specific difficulties.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Josh tackled past HSC questions involving annuities in financial mathematics and applied the least squares regression line to bivariate data analysis from a previous exam paper.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student repeatedly left working out untidy when solving linear equations and ratio problems. As one tutor put it, "his formatting made errors harder to spot in multi-step solutions."

For Year 11, over-reliance on memorised rules—especially in trigonometry—meant formula recall was prioritised over real understanding, leading to confusion when unfamiliar angles appeared.

A senior student tackling HSC-level finance questions sometimes skipped writing steps for three- or four-mark answers, making it difficult to check calculations or justify reasoning under exam conditions.

Missed homework tasks in both junior and senior years limited the chance to address these persistent process issues together.

Recent Achievements

One Numbaa tutor noticed Andrea now actively reviews her exam mistakes and independently chooses new strategies for similar questions—a big step from earlier sessions when she hesitated to reflect on errors.

In another high school session, Laaibah recently solved network flow problems without prompting, after weeks of relying on hints to start each question.

Meanwhile, a younger student has started showing more working out in ratio questions instead of skipping steps as before.

Last week, Andrea wrapped up by confidently sketching transformed trigonometric graphs with varying periods and amplitudes on her own.

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 Nowra (Central) Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Terara Public School.
