A tutor should be able to identify and convey concepts that may be considered as challenging or difficult for the student in a simple and clear manner. I think I'm rather empathetic and can connect with younger people, especially given my young age, this is important in building rapport which I believe is essential for establishing a good work…

In the process of discussion, there is a newfound clarity in knowledge and conceptual understanding that not only satisfies their thirst for more knowledge, but also…

They must be able to explain complicated concepts in a way that 'makes sense' to their student and must be able to do so in a way that inspires their student to want to engage in what they are learning. A few of the most important skills for the field are patience and communication. I believe that these two areas are points of strength in my…

Local Reviews

Things are going really well. Kai enjoys Noah's tutoring. On his last math's assessment he received 80% in comparison to the one before which was 55%. I met with his math's school teacher and she has provided upcoming topics for Noah to discuss with Kai as well as 2 practice tests. Her feedback was positive too and constructive. If we stay on this path, I'm confident that it will prepare him well for the upcoming HSC.

Inside WilloughbyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Aiden focused on fractions and percentages, building confidence through practical problem sets.

For Year 9, Grace revised index laws—applying them to simplify expressions—and explored how to convert between roots and indices using worked examples.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lucas tackled advanced probability questions and practiced working with random variables and probability distribution functions for his mathematics course.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student struggled with revision because old notes hadn't been reviewed, which led to confusion over index laws and difficulty simplifying complex algebraic expressions—"he wasn't sure when to use (a^m)^n = a^(mn)," as noted in the session.

In Year 7, unfinished assigned work meant new percentage topics weren't practiced enough for speed.

For a senior Physics student, not specifying help areas clearly made it harder to target gaps in understanding during tutorials.

Meanwhile, an English student avoided dialogue writing tasks, limiting progress in developing character depth and narrative tension within creative pieces.

Recent Achievements

One Willoughby tutor recently noticed Kristina, a Year 12 student, overcoming her initial overwhelm with Advanced Mechanics by stepping back to strengthen her trigonometry skills—she now tackles those foundation questions without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Cael in Year 7 shifted from needing frequent prompting during writing sessions to experimenting independently with dialogue and building character profiles for stories.

In primary school, Aylin moved from passive participation to actively engaging in lessons and now attempts every question on her own initiative; last session, she completed all addition and subtraction tasks without waiting for guidance.

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