Modern History Tutor
The most important things is for a tutor to help a student to come to a place where they enjoy the experience of learning rather than see it as a chore. I am very good at communicating complex ideas using simple…

Claire is tutoring my son in year 11 maths methods and he is gaining a lot from the sessions. She is highly intelligent, concise, adaptable and friendly. Highly recommend.

Inside DurobyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Willow focused on simplifying, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions as well as converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions.

For Year 10, Jeremy spent sessions reviewing trigonometry concepts—like Pythagoras' Theorem—and tackling exam practice problems involving perimeter, area, and volume of shapes and prisms.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Will worked through multiplying and dividing negative numbers using the number line and explored plotting points and reflecting shapes on the Cartesian plane for his assessment.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 maths, one student struggled to prepare for in-depth exam questions after only revising the basics, saying "I tried to prepare for the basics…wasn't prepared for the in depth exam questions." This made tackling complex problems more stressful.

In Year 8 algebra, another student avoided seeking feedback despite reminders, which slowed their progress on trickier topics.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student arrived at a session without paper for calculations—meaning an entire area topic couldn't be covered that day. Not reviewing or organising materials beforehand led to missed learning opportunities and increased frustration during lessons.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Duroby recently noticed Jeremy becoming much more independent with algebra—he now recognizes and corrects his own mistakes, where before he relied heavily on step-by-step guidance.

Willow, also in high school, has started to tackle fraction problems with noticeably less hesitation; she's begun converting fractions herself instead of waiting for reminders about the method.

Meanwhile, Bella (Year 6) surprised her tutor by not only proofreading her own story draft for errors—a task she used to rush through—but also asking for extra homework to keep practicing her skills.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Jerome has been a positive impact on my daughter Sophia. She is building her confidence already.

Start up with Phi has been smooth, so far Tharanya's feed back to us has also been positive. She is understanding the teaching method used by Phi and feels comfortable asking him questions.

We are very happy and have been very impressed by Kamran. He has a really lovely nature, is kind, encouraging and very professional. Daneeka finds him very easy to follow and understand and really enjoys her lesson with him every week and already is improving. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone that needs a wonderful maths tutor.

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 Tweed Heads Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Bilambil Public School.
