Lauren
English Tutor Fern Bay, NSW
I believe an important component of tutoring is patience, ensuring that the student completely understands the topic before moving on. This leads into following up. Following up the previous session for a couple of minutes in the next lesson is highly beneficial as the student can show their understanding of the topic, allowing the opportunity to…

I think a lot of the more important parts of tutoring is involved in the study technique and supporting students to find the motivation in themselves to study and do the work. Being the person that has got their back. Although of course the specific content they are learning is important as well. In addition a lot of students struggle with…

Making a student as confident as possible is the upmost important aspect of tutoring in my mind.

Inside Fern BayTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 7 student Tyler focused on adding and subtracting decimals as well as rounding numbers, then progressed to multiplying decimals and preparing for a maths grading exam using his school booklet.
A Year 10 student revised financial maths concepts including depreciation, shares and dividend yield, and practised solving questions on simple and compound interest.
For Year 9, recent sessions covered interpreting box-and-whisker plots and quartiles in data analysis, alongside strategies for reading graphs accurately.
Recent Challenges
A Year 7 student's maths workbook was described as "a little more organised and tidy but we will work on that for next year," reflecting issues with written layout and presentation.
In senior years, a recurring theme has been over-reliance on formulas—one tutor observed, "she is too reliant on putting numbers into a given formula," particularly in financial mathematics.
Several high school students, including in Extension 1, tended to avoid writing out their working or explaining their reasoning aloud, making it difficult to identify errors early. This often led to confusion when faced with less familiar question formats.
Recent Achievements
In a recent Fern Bay tutoring session, Danika took the initiative to organise her questions ahead of time, something she didn't do at the start of the year. Now, she routinely highlights topics she's unsure about and brings them up in lessons, which means less hesitation and more active problem-solving.
Liz has started tackling difficult financial maths exam questions without waiting for hints—she works through each step on paper and even explains her reasoning out loud if challenged.
Meanwhile, Lara confidently completed a new linear equations question by herself after struggling with independent attempts earlier in the term.

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 Stockton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Fern Bay Public School.
