I want students to be self-sufficient and use their knowledge to lead a meaningful and purposeful life. I believe in students being capable of learning any academic skill given the right tools and support and as a…

Tutoring is a noble occupation. My experience with the previous tutoring has taught me many things that can be really important for a student.

Some students tend to trigger their fear of…

Provide adequate motivation and encouragement. A tutor is only half responsible for the student's progress, and the student is responsible for the other half through their own work and perseverance. It is therefore crucial that a tutor teaches not only content, but also good work ethic to a student by encouraging and motivating them to work hard…

Obviously bumping up grades. But before that comes there is the massive component where the tutor is able to let the student feel like they actually know what they're doing.

I believe that while grades are important, they are not always completely comprehensive of a student's ability in a subject.

Linda

Inside Biggera WatersTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sophie worked on time conversions, including interpreting time zones, and practiced applying ratios to real-world problems.

For Year 9, Riley focused on trigonometry basics—using sine, cosine, and tangent to solve right-angled triangle questions—and reviewed area and perimeter of composite shapes with guided examples.

Meanwhile, Suneha in Year 11 tackled advanced calculus concepts such as finding derivatives and applied these skills to sketching graphs of functions and identifying gradients.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student missed completing set algebra and ratios homework, which limited opportunities to reinforce multiplication and division skills—"he hasn't done the homework I gave on 10th."

In Year 10 trigonometry, another student skipped writing out equations, relying instead on mental calculations; this led to sign errors and lost marks.

A Year 11 learner struggled with time management in a practice test, leaving questions unfinished despite available minutes.

For a Year 7 geometry task, messy working and failure to show steps made it hard to catch mistakes during review, causing frustration when errors went undetected until correction time.

Recent Achievements

One Biggera Waters tutor observed a notable shift with a Year 10 student who used to stay quiet during sessions; now, he talks through his problem-solving steps out loud and asks for help when stuck, instead of just guessing.

A Year 12 student recently mastered analysing time series data—she's now able to interpret patterns independently after previously hesitating with this type of analysis.

In primary, one Year 5 learner initially struggled with basic time conversions but, after a few examples, began solving problems alone and even explained her reasoning as she worked through the questions herself.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Oh, we're very happy! Sup is a delight. Seb will, I expect be back up to average in no time and we may well then look at Sup for our 7yo, when Seb finishes. Seb is only slightly below average and at a selective school, so there's not much work to be done, but, Sup really is great.

Thanks for checking. Hendrik thinks Jacob is "cool" and is very positive about the tutoring. We are definitely going ahead.

Matthew is very happy with Anthony.  From the first day with Anthony, Matt realised what a great help Anthony will be with his better understanding of his studies in maths. Thank you for you help.

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 Runaway Bay Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Biggera Waters State School.
