Geography Tutor Tweed Heads, NSW
The most relevant things when it comes to tutoring are being able to connect with the student in a way that they feel motivated and find the help they need in order to learn. I believe students should have access to meaningful learning. I get along very well with children and teenagers and always find the way to motivate and encourage them to…

Inside Fingal HeadTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Bella worked through English worksheets focused on sentence structure, homonyms, and onomatopoeia, then practised maths problems involving time using her EzyMath textbook.

Year 9 student Willow concentrated on mastering operations with fractions—adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, and converting between mixed numbers—plus some written problem solving.

For Year 10 student Jeremy, lessons targeted trigonometry skills like finding missing side lengths in right-angled triangles and reviewed algebraic techniques such as expanding brackets and factorisation to prepare for his upcoming exams.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 Maths, one student arrived without necessary materials—"the only reason why this wasn't achieved was because Bella did not have paper to do the calculations"—making it impossible to attempt new problems during the session.

For a Year 10 algebra task, a tutor noted "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors," highlighting how omitting written working can lead to confusion and repeated mistakes.

Meanwhile, in Year 8 Science, difficulty organizing notes and remembering when tests are scheduled led to last-minute preparation.

In primary English lessons, messy or incomplete paragraph responses slowed feedback and improvement.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Fingal Head noticed Jeremy, a high school student, now completes algebra and geometry problems with far less prompting than when he started—he even caught his own errors on a recent practice exam.

Willow, also in high school, initially hesitated to attempt fraction questions independently but recently managed an entire worksheet from the grade 7 syllabus on her own, showing she's become more comfortable taking risks.

In Year 6, Bella has started proofreading her writing without reminders and asked for extra homework after finishing her paragraph about cloud types ahead of schedule.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

In response to your earlier email, I am absolutely delighted with Nick.  Tabi trusts that Nick can help her and is beginning to deal with the sense of panic she builds up when confronted with problems she is not sure how to solve or techniques taught in class that she did not understand.  I can see Tabi beginning to feel more confident and she certainly feels supported by Nick.

Pat has really appreciated and enjoyed the help Josh has given him with his Maths. Tutoring with Josh during the holidays will make an excellent start to year 11!

Thank you for touching base. I am really impressed with William's efforts to date. He has very quickly worked out Layla's weaknesses and the areas that need attention. I also believe that his strategy of working slightly ahead of schedule and thus getting her 'in front' in some areas will help with her confidence in class. Layla is also receiving additional Maths support in school and combined with William's efforts, I am confident that we should see her Maths results improve.

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 Fingal Head Public School.
