As we all know, learning should not be restricted to getting good marks in any institution or to memorising lists of facts. The most important things that can be given are the motivation and ability to keep finding things out for oneself (and to fact check new information without relying on AI or internet rumour). Seeing and approaching topics…

Make sure that the student is comfortable with your way of teaching and is actively involved. Tutoring is not only about jabbering stuff even though the student doesn’t understand a single thing. You have to take it slow and steady until your student is confident enough and can explain the same concept back to you even well. - calmness…

A tutor should be able to provide good advice for a student with respect to the individual needs of the student. By being flexible, open and available to help students as much as possible, tutors have the capacity to develop a deep and meaningful connection with them and students will be able to trust and learn more from the tutor. As high school…

A tutor should not just be present to give the student all the answers. Its about building confidence and understanding the student’s way of thinking in order to help them grasp concepts and overcome their academic difficulties. Its about taking on a leadership and mentor role so that you can guide your student, and making them feel comfortable…

I think the most important thing is that they feel motivated to learn, and that going to a tutor would be a fun experience for them. With that, a tutor should be able to clearly teach students and that the student can confidently go to a tutor knowing that he or she will fully understand his or lessons. They should always feel that the learning…

A tutor should build their confidence, encourage critical thinking, and provide constant support and motivation. It’s also essential to foster independence while ensuring that students always feel supported and know they can seek guidance…

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.
