Ancient History 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…

We are very happy with Thomas so far, he seems to have a good rapport with my daughter, and she is progressing and building up her skills and confidence. Thomas is cheerful and very patient!

Inside JesmondTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Ruby reviewed area and perimeter of triangles, parallelograms, and trapeziums using practice diagrams, then tackled finding the area of circles.

For Year 10, Sebastian focused on quadratic equations and also prepared for upcoming assessments by revising similarity and probability questions from past exams.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Christian worked through integration with trigonometry and practiced finding the area under a curve to strengthen calculus skills.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student often hesitated on multi-step algebra problems, expressing "I get stuck when there are too many terms," which led to lost confidence and reverting to easier examples instead of persisting.

In Year 11, another student completed equations accurately with support present but was unable to repeat the process independently—this reliance made solo exam attempts much more stressful.

For a Year 8 learner, uncertainty in remembering steps during geometry meant answers were second-guessed or changed, sometimes erasing correct work due to doubt.

These patterns left students feeling unsure during assessments and slowed progress through new material.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Jesmond recently noticed a Year 11 student who, after weeks of hesitating to ask questions, now openly points out confusion about algebra problems—something he avoided before.

In another session, a Year 9 student who previously needed step-by-step support with factorising and simplifying equations was able to solve them with minor guidance this week.

Meanwhile, one primary student showed a big shift by confidently finding the perimeter of compound shapes on her own after struggling at first; she finished the last set independently without any hints from her tutor.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Yes - Bailey is happy with Reshmi. She's good at explaining how he should be breaking down the question in order to get the answer for the problem. As he only has less than 2 months before the HSC they've been working on a plan to get Bailey to work on and improve his maths.

We are very happy with Sheetal. Timothy is making great progress and we are happy to continue. We will have Tim do his Navy test in a few weeks and if we need to do a bridging course we will ask Sheetal to tutor him with that as well.

Mitchell is happy with the new tutor, thank you. Sean is a good communicator which makes Mitchell feel more relaxed thanks again.

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 Wallsend Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Jesmond Public School.
