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…

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.

Thanks for the contact. We are happy with the way things are going with Dean, and more importantly Olivia seems to happy. We understand that it will take a few months before we start seeing measurable improvements in her results, and we just really hope it helps her.

Thank you. The tutoring is working quite well at the moment, Paige is understanding more of her maths thanks to Chirags explanations.

I am very happy with my daughters tutor Surya, firstly he is very well manned , he is very good with explaining different methods for Patti to better understand .

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.
