Software Dev 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

Sam has been great, easy to communicate and arrange times & dates has been great. Sam takes pride in his tutoring and is assisting Jacqueline with her studies. Thank you.

Ashleigh is working with Joshua nicely, thank you. They interact easily and Ash asks questions an feels comfortable with him.

We have only had a couple of tutoring sessions so far but it has been a very short term, however the couple of sessions that we have had with Jonathan have been very good so we are very happy. We look forward to next term and Mia getting the assistance that she needs with her maths. Jonathan explains things well and is very kind and patient. So far, all good.

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 Wangi Library Creative Hub, wanji wanji—or at your child's school (with permission), like Rathmines Public School.
