Geography Tutor Tighes Hill, NSW
Understanding the student is the most primary thing. Without understanding the student you can explain him an entire Library and the student will still be an illiterate or at worse develop fear or disinterest in learning. Connection, understanding, acknowledging and tailoring my approach towards each individual who's different from the…

A tutor should be able to provide good advice for a student with respect to the individual needs of the student. By being flexible, open and available to help students as much as possible, tutors have the capacity to develop a deep and meaningful connection with them and students will be able to trust and learn more from the tutor. As high school…

Gracie, she has been very accommodating and has had the patience to work with my son. Even though I have not met her in person, she seems to be very dedicated.

Inside Tighes HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Tyler focused on adding and subtracting decimals and fractions, as well as rounding numbers up and down, using exercises from his school maths booklet in preparation for a grading exam.

For Year 10, recent lessons covered domain and range of functions—using simple graphs to visualise intervals—and solving simultaneous equations by rearranging formulas.

A senior student worked through financial mathematics topics including depreciation methods and calculating dividend yields for shares, alongside practicing simple and compound interest problems with real-life scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 Maths, a student's workbook was "a little more organised and tidy but we will work on that for next year"—messy layout slowed review of decimal multiplication and long division.

A Year 10 student struggled with confidence after a difficult practice test, losing track of which algebraic processes to use and mixing up rules; as the tutor noted, "Danika got a little confused with which processes to use and got them mixed up often."

In Extension 1 Maths, another student hesitated to attempt unfamiliar problems without prompting, replying "I don't know" too quickly instead of problem-solving aloud. This reluctance left some trigonometry revision unfinished.

Recent Achievements

One Tighes Hill tutor recently noticed Danika, a high school student, now regularly prepares questions from class ahead of sessions—whereas before she'd just wait for help—showing real initiative in her learning.

In another session, Liz was able to explain tricky z-score problems back to the tutor and confidently justify her answers, which is a big shift from earlier sessions where she hesitated to speak up about her thinking.

With a Year 6 student, Lara showed new persistence by tackling harder times tables under timed conditions; she used to give up quickly but this time kept working until personal best of 32 correct answers in 100 seconds.

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