English Tutor Narraweena, NSW
To ensure a student can be tutored effectively, they have to feel open about discussing topics and concepts they do not understand well which can be daunting. Thus, by maintaining a friendly and welcoming personality and relationship as a tutor, students are able to be more open about their weaknesses, allowing for me to tailor myself to their…

To give to the student not only the knowledge of how a task is completed or formula applied, but an understanding of the logic in why this is utilised or possible. The ability to apply mathematics to a situation through the correct understanding of what needs to be done and what knowledge can be used to accomplish that end, is more necessary and…

I believe a tutor must always guide the student, finding a balance between giving them the answer and letting the student figure it out on their own. The tutor is not there to do homework, but to help the student to understand concepts and to have a strong foundation on which they can grow upon and use in the future. My strengths that contribute…

I think as a tutor one of the most important things we can do for a student is be a pillar of support to guide them and follow them on their learning journey. Instead of talking to students and feeding them information its important to talk WITH students as learning is a 2 way street and both student and teacher need to have input. Learning is…

Local Reviews

Excellent and responsive customer advice. The tutor we've been matched with is wonderful.
Kathryn Lamond, Queenscliff

Inside QueenscliffTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Toren practised multiplication with more than two digits using lattice multiplication and worked independently on one-digit multiplication with carrying.

Year 6 student Morgan focused on correcting decimal worksheets for improved accuracy and then moved to advanced multiplication, applying lattice methods to problems involving larger numbers.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Charlie completed NAPLAN maths practice sheets, reviewing skills in number sense and basic operations as part of homework support.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student repeatedly mixed up addition and subtraction when working independently, especially during homework involving borrowing—"her homework shows that she confuses addition and subtraction during independent work."

In upper primary maths, another struggled to systematically show all steps in long division and fraction simplification; she often relied on intuition but missed key algorithmic steps, making errors harder to find.

At the high school level, one Year 10 student skimmed through exam questions too quickly without fully extracting what was being asked—this led to misinterpreting multi-step problems in algebra and losing marks despite knowing the concepts.

Recent Achievements

One Queenscliff tutor noted a big shift with a Year 8 student who used to rush through fraction questions and miss key steps; now, after patient practice, she's pausing to check her work and caught her own error on an equivalent fractions problem before moving on.

A Year 10 student has started asking for clarification in algebra sessions instead of staying quiet when confused—a real change from his earlier reluctance to engage. Started asking for clarification is a meaningful step forward in his confidence and participation.

In Year 5 maths, one student initially found lattice multiplication overwhelming but is now working independently through each step and completed her latest worksheet without any help.

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 Northern Beaches Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Stella Maris College.
