Ancient History Tutor Mona Vale, NSW
Personally, I believe that in order to be a good tutor it is necessary to provide a level of support that feels as if it extends beyond the obligation that the position you hold is your job. I believe it is crucial to possess a genuine understanding for the strengths and flaws of your students in order to properly and efficiently deliver supoort…

Inside Elvina BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Max reviewed linear relationships and practiced constructing graphs from tables and points.

For Year 12, Sarah focused on financial mathematics, tackling HSC sample questions on simple and compound interest as well as depreciation.

Meanwhile, Olivia (Year 12) worked through exam revision using past HSC trial papers, with a particular focus on normal distribution problems and strategies for continuous probability distributions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 mathematics, one student was encouraged to "practice without notes," but consistently reached for the formula sheet instead of recalling key steps independently during complex normal distribution problems.

In a Year 9 algebra session, messy working and skipping layout made it hard to track sign errors—"missed details in the question led to wrong answers," as one tutor observed.

A senior student practicing under timed exam conditions tended to focus only on familiar question types, avoiding tougher unfamiliar variations and missing out on building confidence for actual assessment scenarios.

Recent Achievements

One Elvina Bay tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to rush through algebra and make repeated errors—now, after focused sessions, she shows real patience working through problems step by step and even uses her improved skills on harder questions without prompting.

Another high schooler came to a recent session with specific questions already prepared, rather than waiting passively; this new initiative helped him quickly master tricky differentiation topics he'd struggled with last term.

A Year 5 student who once forgot key techniques is now recalling content from previous weeks and confidently applying it to new problems.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I am very happy with my son's tutor so far. We have only had 2 sessions & already my son is doing his homework after school everyday, without being asked. He also is impressing his tutor with his knowledge. They both relate with each other & I can see good things for my son's future.

I think Molly is really getting a lot out of the sessions and a lot of support. I think that she is also a good role model for Molly.

Michelle is awesome and has taught me so much in a short amount of time. She never doubts my level of ability and is always encouraging me to go above and beyond. Her knowledge of specific maths topics is just out of this world. You guys have one awesome lady on your hands!

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 Mona Vale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Luke's Grammar School, Bayview Campus.
