Science Tutor Long Jetty, NSW
By first giving the student the necessary skills to complete a range of questions this equips them with the tools to complete any question. I then allow the student to make the mistake first and learn from it by helping them change what they did. This is then followed up with an example response to a question then the student is given the chance…

I think the most important things a tutor can do are to build the student's confidence, explain concepts in a way that suits their learning style, and create a supportive environment where they feel comfortable asking questions. It's not just about giving them the answers, it's about helping them understand the process so they can become…

Create a supportive and positive learning environment: It’s crucial to establish trust, where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. A positive, encouraging atmosphere helps boost their confidence and motivation. I think a strength I have as a tutor is communication. As it assists me in breaking down concepts into…

Science Tutor Hamlyn Terrace, NSW
The most important thing a tutor could do is create a safe environment for the student. Learning can be more comprehensive and explicit once the student is comfortable around their tutor’s presence. The tutor also must maintain and adhere to an elaborate study plan to help the student. I am very patient and would never snap even on being asked…

Personalise the students lesson towards their learning perspectives and needs. Not every student is the same and nor will they learn the same. its important to be adaptable, and use different approaches when needed to for the maximum success of the students learning. I came from a background of going from a level of Math 1 learning in year 11 and…

I think that as a tutor you must listen to what your student needs and give that to them. Each student will learn differently so it is extremely important that as a tutor you tailor your teaching approach to that student and their needs in order for them to learn best. As I just left school in 2021 I have a good understanding of the pressures and…

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be encouraging and understanding. As a student it can be hard and that is the reason you are getting tutoring. So to have someone encourage you can be a great reason to keep learning. I think my strengths as a tutor would be my patience and communication skills, as they are…

Inside Rocky PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Lucas worked through Roman numerals up to 50 and tackled time-telling using both the 24-hour clock and word problems.

In Year 8, Emily practiced graph plotting for linear and non-linear equations as well as finding the mean and median from data sets.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ethan focused on financial maths by calculating interest amounts and understanding how rate and time period affect overall interest, alongside applying these concepts in real-life scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, one student struggled to show working when expanding brackets—he skipped steps with signs, so errors went unnoticed, as noted after a lesson.

In Year 10 trigonometry, another student hesitated to write out formulas and often left units off answers, making revision harder later.

A Year 12 student reviewing integration kept reaching for calculator shortcuts instead of practicing substitution by hand, which slowed their grasp of new methods.

Meanwhile, in Year 3, untidy written work during fraction problems made it tough to trace back and fix calculation slips from earlier lines.

Recent Achievements

A Rocky Point tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to get flustered by equations now working through factorisation much more neatly, showing cleaner steps and greater confidence when solving on his own.

Another recent high school session saw a student who'd always hesitated to ask for help now actively voicing questions during graph plotting, marking a real shift from silent guessing to genuine engagement.

At primary level, one child who previously mixed up area and perimeter started identifying each correctly and could explain their differences without prompting after practicing with squares and rectangles.

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 Tuggerah Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tacoma Public School.
