English Tutor Narrabeen, NSW
The most important things a tutor can do for a student is be consistent, positive and a guidance for the student throughout their studies. It is through these attributes that a student can truly benefit from the teachings and have a willingness to learn and understand the concepts taught by the tutor. I am passionate about the subjects I teach, I…

Inside ClarevilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Max worked on converting fractions to decimals and tackled multi-digit multiplication, using step-by-step written algorithms.

For Year 8, Sarah focused on surface area and volume calculations for cylinders, pyramids, and cones, applying formulas to solve real-world problems.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ethan reviewed trigonometry involving angles of elevation and depression by drawing diagrams and working through practice questions together.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student's written solutions in algebra and consumer arithmetic were sometimes unclear, making it harder to spot errors like missing units—she needs to be more careful in writing the correct units for consumer arithmetic problems.

In Year 11, formula recall slowed down progress with bearings and financial maths questions; not having key relationships on hand meant extra time searching or guessing.

A Year 4 learner hesitated with mental subtraction, relying on fingers rather than building number sense, especially when crossing tens. This led to delays and frustration during timed drills.

Recent Achievements

A Clareville tutor recently saw a Year 11 student who'd previously mixed up logarithm rules score 88% on her exam, only slipping on minor log law errors she now recognizes herself.

In a Year 9 session, a student who used to guess at which formula to use now sketches out diagrams and confidently selects the right equation before starting calculations.

Meanwhile, one of the younger students has moved away from counting on fingers for addition—he's begun using 'rainbow' number bonds instead, especially with larger sums—and even volunteered to add by twenties without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

Venessa was great and we will be asking her to come back again in the new year.

Our daughter seems to respond well to Adam and even though it's still early days she is much more confident! Thanks

The tutoring sessions with Dominic are going very well. He has certainly helped Kailiana to gain confidence and skills in maths, while keeping a calm, friendly, and easy-going mood for the tutoring sessions. As any 8 year old does, Kailiana can get distracted from time to time, but Dominic has always taken this in stride, and been very creative in engaging with Kailiana in order to retain her attention. For example, there was one instance where she jumped up out of nowhere and decided to feed her goldfish in the middle of them trying to solve some questions about volume. Once she got back to the table Dominic asked her about her fish, and then changed the objects in the question they were solving to fish. He effectively got her back on track and engaged her attention in a warm and gentle way. Kailiana looks forward to her tutoring sessions, with is another testament to the good work Dominic has been doing with her.

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 Avalon Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Bilgola Plateau Public School.
