Modern History Tutor Albion Park, NSW
In my experience tutoring students, as well as being a student myself, I believe a person needs to do four main things in order to be a good tutor; they need to be able to assess what their students are lacking, know what you can do to improve on their skills, communicate well, and boost the overall confidence of the student and the confidence…

I just wanted to let you know how much our daughter benefited from having Hannah tutoring her even though it was only for a short time!I only wish we had found her earlier.

Inside Kiama DownsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ava practised solving two-step equations and factorising basic algebraic expressions.

In Year 10, Mia worked through trigonometry concepts such as the sine rule and calculated the area of non-right-angled triangles, using visual diagrams to reinforce understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sam focused on compound interest calculations and began reviewing key elements from the standard mathematics syllabus in preparation for assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra sessions, one student's tendency to skip writing full steps—"needs to write down every step of working out to limit mistakes" led to hidden sign errors and extra time spent retracing calculations.

A Year 10 learner tackling trigonometry struggled when diagrams were too small or unlabeled, making it harder to apply SOH CAH TOA correctly.

In Year 11 financial maths, missing clear labels in multi-step problems caused confusion about which value belonged where. As a tutor put it: "She needs to set out her working clearly so the marker can understand her thought process."

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Kiama Downs noticed a Year 9 student who used to struggle with equations involving fractions now solves them more confidently, catching fewer errors and finishing set questions independently.

In a recent session with a senior student, the tutor saw her pick up z-scores quickly—she now clearly shows her working step by step, which was missing before.

Meanwhile, one of the younger students has begun self-correcting mistakes during algebra practice instead of waiting for prompts; last lesson she spotted and fixed two errors on her own while completing all assigned problems.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Michael has been great and the sessions have been productive. Uznar now feels she has caught up with the rest of the class.

Yarra is very happy with Andrea, and I can already notice improvements :-) I expect Andrea to keep tutoring Yarra for a long time.

Kyle seems v competent and determined. Zahara is paying full attention as she obviously wants to grasp maths

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