I think it is important for the tutor to influence the student to be more enthusiastic towards his studies. It is easier to learn stuff with focus and the right attitude. The tutor has to try and make sessions interesting. Also, at the end of the day, the student must not be dependent on the tutor. As a tutor, you know you have succeeded when once…

Inside McMahons PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Soraya worked on properties of quadrilaterals and triangles, focusing on congruency tests and identifying information from these, as well as composite area problems using coordinate planes.

In Year 10, Daniel tackled trigonometry revision—including sine rule applications—and also reviewed geometry fundamentals such as angle relationships.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Mia concentrated on linear algebra through assignment work and revision sessions, plus was introduced to networks and diagrams using visual representations to solidify understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, a student revised only teacher-provided "easy" questions before an assessment; as a tutor observed, "the areas we worked on less as he felt confident were weaker in the test."

Another high schooler avoided writing out algebraic working for problem-solving, preferring decimals, and hesitated to attempt harder questions.

During a senior Skype lesson, technical issues with note visibility meant steps weren't always clear—making it hard to spot errors together.

In Year 7 geometry, incomplete written revision made it difficult to pinpoint where test marks were lost. Without consistent practice and visible working, misconceptions lingered into assessments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mcmahons Point recently saw Charlie, a Year 11 student, move from hesitating over box plots to independently constructing them and comparing data sets with accuracy.

In another session, Harry—who used to get stuck on trigonometry—now breezes through complex problems at a steady pace, rarely needing prompts.

Meanwhile, Soraya (Year 4) surprised her tutor by self-correcting an error on her homework without any hints and confidently explained how angles combine to form right or straight lines. She finished the lesson by showing a new way to solve practice test questions using her own strategies.

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 Stanton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cameragal Montessori School, North Sydney Campus.
