Science Tutor Tenambit, NSW
I believe the best thing a tutor can do is to encourage their students and foster enthusiasm for learning, instead of looking at it as a chore, together we can build their toolbox of skills to take on the world. One of my greatest strengths when tutoring is that my wide range of experiences allows me to make tailored analogies to simplify concepts…

Science Tutor
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them develop their learning style. Students who are performing poorly in school need help to know the best learning style that is effective for them. As a tutor, exploring learning styles with the student is vital. Once students understand their learning style, they can progress…

I was extremely impressed by Kastaubh. He was incredible and Elijah's results reflected your tutor's ability and success as a tutor.

Inside DuckenfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Lara focused mainly on algebra, particularly simplifying and solving equations, using worked examples to build confidence.

For Year 10, Ryan tackled quadratic equations by factorising and applying the quadratic formula, then switched to English by planning an introduction for a short story.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Jamie practised adding and subtracting fractions with diagrams and also worked on rounding and comparing whole numbers for better number sense.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 Maths, one student often guessed answers under time pressure instead of writing out calculations, especially with negative numbers and rounding—"she tends to guess the answer when there's a time limit." This led to confusion and missed learning opportunities.

A Year 11 English student struggled to organize essay ideas, rarely planning before writing or checking for punctuation errors, which made responses less clear.

In senior Chemistry, another avoided noting down working steps and balanced equations, making it harder to identify mistakes later.

Messy or incomplete written work left several students unsure where they went wrong during revision.

Recent Achievements

A Duckenfield tutor recently saw a Year 11 student, Rylan, who used to need step-by-step guidance, now plan and conduct his Physics depth study independently—he even designed his own experiments and selected which trigonometric identities to use for tougher problems.

In Year 9, Shay moved from guessing at algebraic equations to confidently explaining each solving step without trial-and-error.

Meanwhile, Annie in Year 10 has shifted from basic research skills to running her own survey with over 100 participants and properly referencing sources in Chicago style for her assignment report.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Afra has met with Jasmine once so far as we have had the holidays. I think it went really well and Jasmine is actually looking froward to her next lesson this Saturday.

Lazarus is very happy with Joseph. I think Joseph will be a good fit for Lazarus' learning needs.

Charley has warmed to Charissa. It is great that she is young, female, confident and friendly. We have had two sessions so far and taken a break over the holidays. When Charissa returns from her holiday we will continue with regular weekly sessions and hopefully during the coming weeks/months Charissa can help Charley understand how to plan and do her homework regularly rather than with panic the morning that it is due!

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 Port Stephens Mobile Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Kanwary Public School.
