Melissa

Science Tutor Avalon Beach, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be a source of inspiration and support. I believe all students are equally capable and that with a little bit of tutor motivation and support, they can grow. I would consider my biggest strength to be my patience. I understand that some kids may not be as quick as others and I don't mind…

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

quote

We very happy with tutor Sean. He is a very good tutor. Melissa is happy Sean is her tutor.

I am very impressed with Nikki and the way in which your company operates. Emily had a session with Nikki on Monday in preparation for her algebra topic test on Tuesday and she received 72%!! She would normally get in the 40s for this type of test maybe less for algebra. We are reaping the rewards of Nikki's tutoring already. Very pleased indeed and Nikki is also a great role model for Emily in the way she presents herself and her attitude to life in general. Thank you for your exceptional service.

Peilin is fantastic! They get along extremely well and Peilin is very encouraging.

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.
