I believe connecting with the student and understanding what their specific learning style and needs are is one of the most important things. One size does not fit all, that's the reason they're getting tutored in the first place because the school setting is not enough. Getting along and figuring out what works for them is key. I can connect well…

Support their learning and encourage them. For a student to have someone encouraging them is a boost in their self-confidence. I grew up with 4 younger siblings (the youngest is now 6), exposing me to how children are at different stages of life. How they learn and think, what motivates them. I also received a band 6 in HSC advanced mathematics,…

The biggest thing a tutor can do for a student is to be encouraging and respectful, cultivating a safe environment in which they feel that they can pose questions and share answers without fear of judgement. In doing so, it makes the intake of knowledge easier and an overall more enjoyable experience. A tutor must also show a genuine interest in…

This can be done through things such as setting goals, identifying strengths and weaknesses, as well as personalised, individual attention.

Tutoring is going very well she's starting to show some progress now which is good and Deanna works her hard which is great.

Inside Newcastle EastTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Grace practised division and multiplication with timed tests, building speed and confidence.

For Year 10, Olivia reviewed shares and dividend yield calculations in Financial Maths before tackling lump sum repayment questions on loans.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ethan focused on the quadratic formula and methods for completing the square, working through exam-style problems to reinforce understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student relied heavily on formulas in financial maths, often "putting numbers in to get an answer" without understanding the context, which led to confusion when unfamiliar question types appeared.

In Year 9, another student's working out was disorganised and sometimes rushed—her tutor noted, "she rushes the questions a little bit and needs to slow down."

Meanwhile, a Year 10 learner lost confidence during challenging practice tests and skipped complex-looking algebra problems entirely. This avoidance left gaps in understanding that surfaced when she tried multi-step exam questions under time pressure.

Recent Achievements

One Newcastle East tutoring session saw a Year 10 student, Danika, start identifying and asking about specific algebra questions she struggled with—something she hesitated to do earlier in the year.

A high school student, Liz, recently worked through HSC-level financial maths problems and was confident enough to explain her answers and even discuss alternative solutions with her tutor, showing much more initiative than before.

Meanwhile, Lara (Year 7) has begun tackling challenging topics like linear equations by applying new study techniques; last week, she completed a question independently for the first time after previously needing step-by-step support.

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 Stockton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Newcastle Grammar Bolton Street Campus.
