Info Processing Tutor Green Point, NSW
The most important things a tutor can do for students is to take the steps to give the student a deeper appreciation for their knowledge, and show real world applications for the skills taught. A student is more likely to pay attention if there is something they know they gain from it, rather than just higher grades. My ability to teach on a…

So far so good, Amelia was really happy and says James is sooooo smart! That's an excellent start so we will see how it goes at once a week and take it from there.

Inside Booker BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Zac worked on adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions—including mixed and improper forms—and practiced using keywords like "of" for multiplication in sentence questions.

In Year 8, Yillen focused on applying Pythagoras' Theorem to solve right-angled triangle problems and explored how perimeter and area relate to these triangles.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ava tackled finding unknown angles in right-angle triangles using both the Pythagorean theorem and SOHCAHTOA, working through targeted homework questions for practice.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student left notes and workbooks at school, making it hard to revise for an exam—this meant no clear reference point when trying unfamiliar questions.

In Year 11, one student relied on a calculator that "seemed a little off," which led to confusion over unexpected answers during trig problems.

Another in Year 7 avoided writing full working for SOHCAHTOA rearrangements; as the tutor put it, "she skipped steps, so sign errors weren't caught."

A Year 3 learner mixed up tens and tenths when rounding decimals—her working was messy and hard to follow, leading to repeated corrections mid-task.

Recent Achievements

One Booker Bay tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to wait for prompts now volunteering answers during trigonometry sessions, even explaining how he solved problems with SOHCAHTOA—something he'd previously avoided.

A Year 8 student, after struggling with rearranging formulas and substituting values, surprised her tutor by independently working through several algebraic word problems without needing reminders.

In a primary session, a quiet Year 4 learner who was hesitant to ask questions started drawing out currency diagrams herself to tackle addition and subtraction tasks, showing real initiative by choosing strategies from past lessons.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Only had one tutoring session at this stage however very helpful with an A+ outcome for maths exam on Friday.

Rick is the perfect tutor for Emily. She likes ths way he explains maths and gives her useful tips to help remember things. Emily is very happy and is starting to gain the confidence that she can improve her maths.

We are really happy with Nimesh. He has been so accommodating and is a great tutor - Mia is getting a huge amount out of the lessons.

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