Effective communication is essential. This includes being able to explain concepts clearly and in a way that is easy to understand and being a good listener.

Tutor Banora Point, NSW
Not just tutor them, but be a friend. By opening up and developing a closer bond to students, the students feel more comfortable and it doesn't become a tutoring session, but just a study session. I went through the course(s) myself quite recently, so I understand what's expected on the students, and what they need to do to excel and not only get…

Inside Upper DurobyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Jeremy worked through Pythagoras' theorem problems and revised measurement topics such as perimeter, area, and volume to prepare for upcoming exams.

Year 7 student Will focused on multiplying and dividing negative numbers using the number line, as well as plotting points and reflecting shapes on the Cartesian plane for his assessment.

For Year 6, Bella completed maths questions involving elapsed time and money calculations, while also practising English comprehension with written responses.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student arrived to a session only partly prepared, focusing on basics but not bringing necessary notes for deeper exam-style questions—this left her struggling to tackle the most challenging problems.

In Year 9 algebra, one student's written work was messy and skipped key steps; as the tutor put it, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

For a Year 7 English task, another avoided editing her PowerPoint formatting and spelling before submission, despite reminders.

Meanwhile, a primary student couldn't complete an area exercise because she'd forgotten to bring paper—losing valuable practice time that lesson.

Recent Achievements

In high school maths, Jeremy has gone from needing regular help with algebra and trigonometry to working through problems independently, even tackling worded questions on Pythagoras' theorem without hesitation—something he struggled with a few months ago.

Meanwhile, Willow, also in high school, now reliably catches her own mistakes in fraction work and applies new rules after one reminder, showing more initiative than before.

On the primary side, Bella started rereading her writing to spot errors herself rather than waiting for prompts and successfully completed a tricky spelling challenge for homework.

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