To encourage them to keep going and not give up, because it can get really upsetting to the student if they can't understand a specific thing after some time spent on it. It's important to reassure them that the progress they've made so far has been good and worthwhile, and that everyone's learning paces are different. Most importantly, it's…

I believe that getting high grades in school is not the most important goal for my student (although this is something we work towards), but rather what is most important for me as a tutor is to see them learn, progress and improve each time. I want to teach them the value of hard work while building up their confidence and motivation to tackle…

Inside RostrevorTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ava worked on percentages, focusing on calculating percentage increases and decreases in real-world scenarios, and also practiced dividing large numbers using long division.

In Year 10, Doyle tackled solving simultaneous equations by isolating variables and substituting between equations, as well as factorising quadratics using methods like splitting the middle term.

For Year 11, Brea caught up on derivatives by reviewing the foundational rules of differentiation and practicing with basic calculus problems missed during recent school absences.

Recent Challenges

Repeatedly left their assignment unfinished, as noted: "Needed to finish assignment." This led to session time being used for catch-up rather than deeper problem-solving.

In Year 11 Chemistry, confusion with converting grams to moles slowed progress through multi-step stoichiometry problems—without regular homework practice, these gaps persisted.

One Year 8 student skipped assigned revision questions; instead of progressing, the session was spent re-explaining concepts already covered ("did not do the questions I assigned for homework").

For a Year 5 learner, messy working during long division meant frequent step-tracking errors and lost confidence when mistakes appeared mid-calculation.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Rostrevor recently noticed Doyle, a Year 11 student, moving from confusion with factorising quadratics to confidently applying the quadratic formula on his own—just weeks ago he struggled to set up these problems without help.

In another session, a Year 10 student showed new independence by completing homework efficiently and accurately, rather than leaving questions blank or waiting for guidance.

Meanwhile, Ava in Year 4 started using multiplication as a strategy to check her division answers; she'd previously guessed when unsure but now double-checks her work and finishes calculations with minimal prompting.

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