Arnav
Tutor Speers Point, NSW
The most important thing by far is engagement. Tutoring is good, although it can only do so much if the students interest is elsewhere. The best thing a tutor can do is help the student engage more in school as the student will spend 80% of their time in the classroom and 20% with a tutor so using that 80% to your advantage is the most important…

Inside Tingira HeightsTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 8 student Tiffany completed a diagnostic assessment to pinpoint areas needing support in the Year 9 maths curriculum.
For Year 10, Jade focused on mastering financial mathematics, including calculating wages and salaries, and also practiced structuring essays for English assignments.
In senior secondary, Tom revised key Preliminary HSC topics—calculus, functions, polynomials, and trigonometry—working through targeted exam questions to consolidate understanding ahead of assessments.
Recent Challenges
Ongoing trouble showing working in algebra and geometry; as a tutor observed, "writing down steps & showing working—really need to focus on this one." This meant sign errors or forgotten substitutions went unnoticed, especially when solving equations.
In Year 11 chemistry, another student's shallow formal responses left key tritation calculations incomplete, even after reviewing feedback.
Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner regularly forgot maths formulas for area and volume of shapes, which slowed progress on homework.
In a senior test scenario, rushed calculator input led to avoidable mistakes and second-guessing during review—frustration grew as marks slipped by just one point.
Recent Achievements
A Tingira Heights tutor noticed Tiffany, a Year 10 student, shifting from quietly guessing to openly saying when she didn't understand something—she started asking questions about indices instead of just moving on.
In a recent session with Josh (Year 11), he improved at picking out key information in complex worded maths problems, now writing down every step rather than skipping ahead and getting lost as he did before.
Meanwhile, in Year 3, Julian managed to name all the main 3D shapes confidently after initially mixing them up; by the end of the lesson, he even volunteered to describe their properties 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 Windale Library, bilyabayi—or at your child's school (with permission), like Windale Public School.
