Tutor Horsley, NSW
Whilst helping the student improve their grades is definitely important, I think that mentoring them is even more important. University and career choice is tricky and I think with my experience I can certainly help others make the best decisions for them. I am passionate about Mathematics. I completed Advanced Math and Ext 1 Math for NSW HSC. I…

A tutor has to be able to not only teach them content but able to support students on an emotional and cognitive level as they progress through a subject/s that they may not like or are uncomfortable with as they have had bad memories of the subject. As a tutor, it's integral that we can offer a holistic, effective approach to tutoring in order to…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is provide questions weekly to test the understanding of a topic, i found that crucial during Year 12, the way you understand Maths and Physics is by applying the knowledge you were given in class to as many questions as possible so that during the HSC you are able to recognise patterns in…

I believe that it's a tutor's purpose is to push the student at a pace that they're capable of achieving regardless of what that level is. A student can only work to the best of their capacity and achieving this efficiency is the advantaged of personalised education. With younger especially clients in grades 4 and below, I believe it's essential…

A tutor should be able to assess and listen exactly to students' hardships in the subject. From there, build on ways to simplify the issue. With mathematics, I think what is most important is to simplify the way of solving problems as much as possible. Another important feature that a tutor can do is to build a friendly relationship with students…

A tutor, fundamentally, serves a purpose to give the student additional knowledge or hone their pre existing knowledge. To achieve this, not only academic aptitude is highly pivotal, a strong and individual-catered means of transferring said intelligence is vital.

Be considerate, patient, understanding, and non-judgemental.

Inside ClevelandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Cailyn revised multiplication and division strategies and began exploring fractions using practical examples.

For Year 9, Daniel tackled linear equations involving negative numbers and fractions, then practised plotting points on a Cartesian plane and calculating perimeters.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Nicholas worked through trigonometry problems focusing on sine, cosine, and tangent ratios for right-angled triangles, using step-by-step calculations to find unknown sides or angles.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 mathematics, a reluctance to show full working on paper led to confusion in algebra and inverse cosine problems; as one tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

For a Year 8 student tackling fractions and unit conversions, calculator formatting issues and hesitancy to use the calculator created barriers when converting units like cm to km.

Meanwhile, in Year 3 arithmetic sessions, forgetting multiplication facts slowed progress—she would often guess answers rather than recall methods. The result: time lost re-explaining concepts or tracking down small but critical mistakes.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Cleveland noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitation, now proactively asks for tougher algebra questions and refers back to her notes independently when she gets stuck.

In one recent high school session, another student who previously doubted her abilities tackled HSC-level network concepts confidently and even volunteered to explain her approach out loud—something she'd avoided before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who used to give up on tricky subtraction problems now persists until she finds the answer and eagerly tries new strategies without waiting for 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 Dapto District Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Dapto Public School.
