The most important thing you can do for a student (other than teaching them the things they are struggling with) is letting them know they aren't as "stupid" as they may feel. So many students enter tutoring frustrated, upset and not wanting to be there because they believe that they are "stupider" or "dumber" than their friends because "well my…

English Tutor Woongarrah, NSW
I believe the most important thing is to have a routine, be reliable, and to have the student be a part of every decision in their learning. My time with a student is not about a test or exam. It is about creating the skills for a student to be able to improve as they move through school and beyond. This is something that is going to be…

Support and patience. Trying to force too many things at once can only frustrate somebody attempting to better themselves, following a pace the student is best learning at is crucial. Frustration and not grasping an idea or a concept can lead to giving up, which is why support and again patience are key. I'm reliable, patient and easy to talk to.…

English Tutor Hamlyn Terrace, NSW
The most important thing an english tutor could do is create a safe environment for the student. Learning can be more comprehensive and explicit once the student is comfortable around their tutor’s presence. The tutor also must maintain and adhere to an elaborate study plan to help the student. I am very patient and would never snap even on…

Inside ToukleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Harry focused on simplifying algebraic expressions using index laws and expanded algebraic expressions via the distributive law, with practical word problems to reinforce terminology.

In Year 11, Lily worked through geometric series and annuities, then practiced applying these concepts to financial mathematics scenarios.

For Year 12, Marcus completed HSC-style questions involving differentiation—identifying stationary points and optimisation—alongside integration techniques for finding area under curves and reviewing statistics from past trial exams.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student hesitated to write out steps in algebra, trying to "do it in my head," which made it tough to catch sign errors and slowed progress on rearranging equations.

In a senior maths session, over-reliance on calculators appeared—basic mental math was avoided during chain rule practice, leading to missed patterns.

Homework completion has also been inconsistent for one Year 8 learner; as noted, "he has not completed his homework multiple times now," so he's missing chances to attempt worded problems independently.

After setbacks with unfamiliar trigonometry proofs, a lack of confidence meant attempts at new question types stalled completely.

Recent Achievements

One Toukley tutor noticed a big change in a Year 9 student who, after weeks of hesitation, now tackles multi-step taxation questions mostly on his own and can join like terms with far fewer errors than before.

In a recent high school session, another student showed new initiative by breaking down tricky integration problems step-by-step without waiting for hints—previously she'd freeze up if she wasn't sure where to start.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4 surprised her tutor by finishing all her decimal multiplication tasks without needing reminders to check her work.

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