Modern History Tutor Booker Bay, NSW
I think the most important thing is taking the pressure off being “perfectâ€. There is no such thing as perfection and everyone reaches success differently. What works for one person may not work for another and in standardised exams, this often gets misconstrued, adding to the weight of being the perfect student. My patience and positive…

Modern History Tutor Booker Bay, NSW
Provide support both academically and mentally. This can be done through practicing a topic of a subject, and also helping schedule their weeks, so they know they will still have social/leisure time, and maximize their grades and themselves. I am incredibly confident and happy to also learn new things. For example, if a student comes to me and…

Be kind and patient, and be able to adjust learning plans for the student. I am that I am a compassionate person who believes in the potential of all people. Nobody is unable to succeed, they just might require different solutions to the same struggle. I also believe myself to be good at breaking down topics, as I did this multiple times for my…

Modern History Tutor Gosford, NSW
Being a past past studnet at many various tutoring places, the most important quality for a tutor is to able to incur a friendly yet working relationship with their students. This will help students to be comfortable enough to ask any questions about concepts they do not understand. As I have just finished high school last year, I believe I will…

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

So far its going really well with Monique.  She is very nice, approachable, flexible and encouraging

Yes l'm happy at the moment and Sebastian seems to like Kate. She comes and gets straight into it then finishes off with a brief summary of what they have been doing. Which is great. At the moment Sebastian has only had three sessions, so still too early to tell. However there was a day at school when they did some Maths and he said he found it much easier, which is fantastic to hear.

So far so good.  Zachary and Gabriella seem to have a good rapport and I have noticed that Zac is working more confidently.  It's early days though, so time will tell when his grades start coming through. Gabriella is a lovely young lady and we are happy having her as a tutor.

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.
