What I consider to be the most important things a tutor can do for a student are build self-confidence, without this they will not believe in themselves and their ability, and therefore will not make the improvements they are capable of, inspire them to create their own goals, both long-term and short term, big and small, and of course, help…

Tutors can provide a one-on-one situation where they're able to realise the students weaknesses and target those areas. They can also be someone else for the students to ask questions where they may be too shy or unable to during a large classroom environment. Tutoring can also help reinforce content that students learnt that day or week. I am a…

Inside Sandy PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Athena worked on multiplication facts and applied them to word problems, as well as reading and converting time between digital and analogue formats.

In Year 7, Zara focused on decimal addition and subtraction alongside revising factors and multiples using number puzzles.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Tom practiced operations with fractions—including converting improper to mixed numbers—and explored order of operations through targeted exercises.

Recent Challenges

A Year 6 student working on perimeter often missed sides without numbers, as a tutor observed: "she relied heavily on the calculator, even though her manual column addition is strong."

In Year 9 surface area lessons, another struggled to double-check if each face was counted, sometimes skipping this when using a calculator for speed.

For a Year 4 multiplication task, showing carrying and borrowing steps in written work was inconsistent—answers were right but not always reproducible.

In several senior grades (Years 10–11), forgetting to write units or cube/square symbols led to confusion reviewing volume and area solutions later.

Recent Achievements

One Sandy Point tutor saw a big change in a Year 9 student who'd struggled to solve for x—she's now confidently merging like terms and working through equations with much less hesitation.

A Year 7 student who used to avoid tricky word problems is now identifying the right strategies just from reading the question, especially picking up on clue words like "difference" or "how much."

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who previously rushed through addition is finally using the carrying process correctly for harder sums, slowing down to double-check her work before moving on.

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