As a tutor, it is important that your student comprehends all aspects if the subject and is confident in applying their knowledge and skills I am patient with the student and am…

Brittany
Tutor Berowra, NSW
One of the most important things a tutor can do is motivate a student to try their best. A tutor should commend a student when succeeding, and encourage them when they are struggling. I go beyond the syllabus and love to teach students all the skills I have picked up over the years, such as study habits and stress management. With my tutoring,…

Tutor Church Point, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do is to provide the student with deep understanding of concepts so that the student can approach future challenges with the confidence that they can work through it on their own, even if it is unfamiliar.

Listen. I think it is pivotal for a tutor to be able to listen to the student. Be it regarding concepts or content, or just a tutors teaching style. Listening and responding to feedback is essential. Determination. When teaching a student something for the first time, it can be very difficult for them to understand a concept. So, as a tutor, I am…

Inside Cottage PointTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 5 student Charlie worked on multiplying and dividing fractions, as well as strategies for converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers.
For Year 8, Jess focused on scientific notation and significant figures, tackling practice problems to strengthen her accuracy with large and small numbers.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ryan completed work on annuities and loan repayments in financial mathematics, calculating future values using formulas relevant to real-life finance scenarios.
Recent Challenges
A Year 10 student often skipped writing out working in algebra and surds, which cost marks on recent tests—"full pages with no working in his latest tests and lost a lot of marks there."
In Year 11 Financial Maths, a student relied heavily on calculator methods for frequency tables but hadn't memorised the key formulas, so struggled to choose between the BAC and 'hours to wait' formulas under test pressure.
Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner frequently missed critical question details when calculating discounts or reading word problems, leading to incomplete answers even after correct calculations.
Recent Achievements
A Cottage Point tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to mix up compound and simple interest formulas is now confidently choosing the right one for each question, even adjusting for monthly or quarterly compounding without prompts.
Meanwhile, a Year 12 student has gone from needing step-by-step help with network diagrams to drawing them independently and accurately, even explaining how loops count as just one edge.
On the primary side, one Year 4 student who hesitated over improper fractions can now convert them to mixed numbers at speed, handling new questions on her own.

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 Berowra Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cowan Public School.
