I want to make the student less afraid of the subject and feel confident when studying it. I am really patient with kids. I used to work in Panacea - a non-profit project for child patients, so I understand kids’…

I think the most important thing for a tutor is to be patient. Most parents I know usually time out or get annoyed but if a tutor has the patience and can explain whatever the student struggles with in a calm way that the student understands that would not only increase the student- tutor bond but also give students the hope of excelling in their…

Local Reviews

The initial session went well with my grandson and the tutor Ovin was very helpful and informative with my grandson.
Bruno Favretti, Thirroul

Inside ThirroulTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Max worked through solving simultaneous equations and applied the quadratic formula to tackle quadratic word problems.

In Year 10, Chloe focused on logarithms and practiced sketching graphs by hand for visual understanding.

For a younger learner in Year 4, Remi covered multiplication and division basics along with calendar and time questions as part of his homework review.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student repeatedly mixed up pronumerals in algebra, assuming they matched previous questions—"attention to detail, especially to the pronumerals," noted one tutor—which led to errors that weren't spotted until late in working.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 learner lost track of earlier content after shifting to new topics, making revision for exams difficult and leading to confusion during more complex factorisation.

In Year 7 English, reluctance to complete homework became clear when a student dodged accountability at lesson's end.

For a younger primary student, not showing written working in maths hid mistakes with subtraction and delayed progress on arithmetic foundations.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Thirroul recently noticed some big changes: one Year 11 student who used to get stuck on simultaneous equations is now choosing between elimination and substitution confidently, even explaining her reasoning aloud.

In Year 8, a student who once guessed at where he went wrong now pauses to check his work, then solves similar questions correctly without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student who felt embarrassed about using finger counting has started doing it openly and with pride—he's flying through perimeter problems that were tricky before and finished all his area questions without any reminders.

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 Thirroul Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Michael's Catholic Primary School.
