Tutor Highfields, NSW
I believe connecting with the student and understanding what their specific learning style and needs are is one of the most important things. One size does not fit all, that's the reason they're getting tutored in the first place because the school setting is not enough. Getting along and figuring out what works for them is key. I can connect well…

Encouraging students on questions they find difficult and nudging them in the right direction to solve problems so they can do it by themselves without requiring help. A tutor also needs to be reliable, so the student can go to them for help when they need it. I am patient, have a positive attitude towards helping others and can explain things in…

Support their learning and encourage them. For a student to have someone encouraging them is a boost in their self-confidence. I grew up with 4 younger siblings (the youngest is now 6), exposing me to how children are at different stages of life. How they learn and think, what motivates them. I also received a band 6 in HSC advanced mathematics,…

In my opinion, the most important thing will be to give the child my time and attention. Only when they felt attended to, be it serious work or not, they will start listening but, also educating them about priorities. As well as having the patience to tackle the questions one at a time. Strengths: - strict and firm (not fierce) - emphasize on…

Make sure that the student is comfortable with your way of teaching and is actively involved. Tutoring is not only about jabbering stuff even though the student doesn’t understand a single thing. You have to take it slow and steady until your student is confident enough and can explain the same concept back to you even well. - calmness…

As we all know, learning should not be restricted to getting good marks in any institution or to memorising lists of facts.

Inside Speers PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Tiffany completed a diagnostic assessment to pinpoint gaps in key maths areas, then worked on understanding the structure of essays and tackled financial maths concepts like wages and salaries.

For Year 10, lessons with Lucy focused on solving quadratic equations using the quadratic formula and completing the square, as well as practising algebraic techniques for simultaneous equations through worked examples.

Meanwhile, Grade 3 student Julian reviewed addition and subtraction with both two-digit and larger numbers, after consolidating knowledge of faces, edges, and vertices in geometry using practical question sets.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, a student hesitated to take feedback on titration calculations, instead repeating the same process without checking for errors—"she just needed to follow everything step by step and have that confidence."

Meanwhile, a Year 9 maths student struggled with time management during tests; missing steps led to "results below expectations" even when concepts were understood.

In Year 6, creative writing tasks were left incomplete due to low confidence and reluctance to draft ideas.

For a senior HSC candidate, workload planning fell short—practising only familiar questions meant deeper issues in exam technique remained hidden until results arrived.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Speers Point noticed that one Year 11 student, who previously hesitated to ask for clarification, began openly communicating when she didn't understand indices problems—leading her to solve them more independently.

Another high schooler made a clear shift from skipping steps to writing out each stage of worded questions, which helped him interpret complex problems he'd struggled with before.

Meanwhile, a younger student who initially found new maths terminology confusing gradually started using the correct terms on his own by the end of the session and confidently named all main 3D shapes without 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 Speers Point Library, milyaba—or at your child's school (with permission), like Biddabah Public School.
