The Important thing is to give students a sense of confidence in their ability. This will require the tutor to integrate complex ideas into simple, straightforward concepts. Once the student realizes their capability, they can endure failures, learn from mistakes and try again. My strength as a tutor is definitely my close and friendly…

I believe that a tutor should be extremely cautious in what they say; can everything be supported with a logical statement? Because the steps the tutors take to construct the answer are how the students learn from them, a tutor must prepare well and be confident and knowledgeable of what they are giving to the students. It's not about providing…

I think patience is the most important skill a tutor can have. Some students don't understand a concept right away, I had to have a concept explained to me multiple times before and if the tutor was patient I was not scared to ask. I think as I have been tutored before I knew what worked for me and what didn't so I could apply those ideas. This…

The most important thing a tutor can do is make the student passionate about their subject. If the student isn't motivated to learn, no amount of lecturing or assignments will help them.

Working with students can be a challenge, especially if we're meeting to help them bring up low grades.

In the math problems that I create, I incorporate references to these interests. It…

Inside Port HackingTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Thomas explored addition and subtraction, practiced reading time on clocks, and identified common shapes.

In Year 8, Olivia revised angle relationships such as co-interior, alternate, and corresponding angles using diagrams, before moving to supplementary and complementary pairs.

For Year 10, Sophie focused on trigonometry—applying Pythagoras' Theorem to word problems and solving for unknowns in right-angled triangles.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 mathematics, a student often rushed through problem-solving, leading to missed steps—one tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

In Year 12 ancient history, another found that not collecting sources as she learned made it harder to recall evidence for essays later on.

For a Year 8 class, messy handwriting—"the number 8 can look like a 6"—caused confusion and calculation errors.

Meanwhile, in Year 5 maths, a reluctance to write out conversion methods resulted in repeated mistakes when switching between units.

Each habit led to avoidable setbacks during lessons or assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Port Hacking tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to get stuck on geometry questions—last session, he confidently combined methods to find missing angles and solved a multi-step problem using supplementary angles without needing hints.

In Year 11, Maiee has moved from just listing facts to connecting sources with essay questions and applying different historical perspectives when discussing conservation issues, something she previously found daunting.

A younger student who was hesitant about maths now asks for help as soon as she's unsure and surprised herself by finishing all ten addition problems without errors.

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