Economics Tutor Speers Point, NSW
The most important thing by far is engagement. Tutoring is good, although it can only do so much if the students interest is elsewhere. The best thing a tutor can do is help the student engage more in school as the student will spend 80% of their time in the classroom and 20% with a tutor so using that 80% to your advantage is the most important…

Simone's doing great so far with Ashleigh. Working on consolidating her existing knowledge and filling some gaps left by a poor teacher last year. She's giving Ashleigh some 'homework' at this stage which is useful during this consolidation phase.

Inside Fishing PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Claudia worked on adding and subtracting like fractions, as well as multiplying fractions together in maths using visual aids.

For Year 9, Tiffany completed a diagnostic assessment covering key Year 9 maths concepts to pinpoint areas for improvement.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Nina focused on financial mathematics by calculating gross and net pay and practiced applying percentages to real-world salary scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 financial maths, a student struggled to recall weeks per year and fortnights—this slowed problem-solving as basic calendar facts had to be rechecked each time.

During a Year 9 indices lesson, formulas were repeatedly forgotten; "she kept asking which symbol goes with each step," noted one tutor, so progress on practice questions was limited.

For a Year 5 fraction exercise, untidy working made it difficult for her to track steps or spot errors later.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student left homework incomplete before sessions, leading to repeated revision of the same concepts rather than moving ahead.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Fishing Point recently noticed Tiffany, a high school student, move from hesitating to ask questions to clearly communicating when she's unsure—she now pauses and asks for clarification instead of pushing ahead silently.

Another secondary student, Aanika, had previously struggled with confidence when tackling new maths concepts but has begun attempting more challenging percentage problems independently after extra practice.

In the primary years, Claudia made a breakthrough by reading times on an analogue clock by herself after needing support for several weeks; last session, she confidently read "6:47" aloud without help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Sophie is responding to Rounak very well. Rounak is a great teacher and Sophie gets along well with him. We're all very happy!

It is going very well. Katie is a truly lovely person. Cassandra has responded well. It is going as well as it can. Cassandra is naturally avoidant of the subjects that she is being tutored in, currently with Katie we are doing one week on Maths and the following week on English and so on. Cassandra engages in the tutoring, and does seem to learn, despite her being sure that she doesn't need a tutor. My partner and myself are very busy at the moment and don't have time to tutor her ourselves, besides, she doesn't like to listen to us, whereas, she will sit beautifully with the tutor. So it really works in that way.

Thanks for your note. It seems to be off to s good start. We appreciate maths coaching and look forward to seeing Louisa and India work together.

Local Spots for Tutoring
