The most important thing is to not only tell them how to do a problem but also tips and tricks on how to efficiently and correctly answer a range of questions over and over whilst also giving them exam tips and tricks for them to minimise errors and mistakes. I believe my strength are explaining complex problems in easier and more understandable…

Explaining in the simplistic way that a student can understand. If you can not explain it in simple terms it means you do not understand it.

The most important thing a chemistry tutor can do for a student is to be there for them not only as a teacher but also as a friend.

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 chemistry tutor, you know you have succeeded…

Delila is really a great find. She and Isabella are getting along extremely well - by far the best tutor we have had. I hope she can stay around for a long time.

Inside North BalgowlahTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Lilly focused on strengthening multiplication and division skills, using games like "Hit the Button" to build times tables fluency and then worked through strategies for remembering tricky groups such as 4s and 12s.

In Year 9, Amelie has been tackling Surds—simplifying, multiplying/dividing, and rationalising denominators—as well as consolidating her understanding of volume formulas in compound shapes.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Jerry concentrated on algebraic factorisation methods and revising equations in preparation for upcoming tests, often working through textbook exercises and practice questions to target weaker areas.

Recent Challenges

One student lost marks in a recent Year 8 Maths exam for not showing working and relying too much on mental calculations. As noted, "he said that he lost a lot of marks in his exam as he did not show his working out."

During algebra revision, calculation errors crept in when steps weren't clearly set out or the calculator wasn't used reliably.

In senior Physics (Year 12), another student's notes were described as needing better layout: "Her setting out—we will continue to practice good setting out so it becomes a habit." This led to confusion revisiting circular motion questions before assessments.

Recent Achievements

A North Balgowlah tutor recently saw Jerry, a Year 8 student, shift from rushing through algebra to slowing down and double-checking his work—he now catches his own calculation errors before asking for help.

Meanwhile, Clara in Year 12 has started tackling past exam papers independently and explaining her approach out loud when stuck, which marks a big change from earlier sessions where she hesitated to try new question types.

For a younger student, Lilly (Year 3) took real ownership of her times tables practice by showing how she fixed mistakes on "Hit the Button" and talking through what she learned each time.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Hi, Ruhail has been great and his flexibility has helped enormously. He spent 3.5 hours with Casey last weekend as she had a test she was very concerned about. Casey did much better in her test than she would have done and we are already over the moon. Please pass on our thanks.

Yes, we are very pleased that Sophia likes Rebecca and the tutoring seems to be going well. Rebecca obviously has patience and takes the time to explain things so Sophia can follow them and work through the maths, which is exactly what we wanted. The problem with the school is they move along so fast that there is not enough practice time, and we (the parents) are not familiar with what they teach so we can't just help out quickly; we have to re-learn it ourselves first, and then we're probably not good at explaining clearly. That's why it is great having Rebecca who can obviously explain things in a way Sophia understands. The main thing is that Sophia sees herself as '˜no good at maths', but when something is explained so she understands it, she is very pleased when she can get the right answers. A lot of it is a confidence thing I think, and also her school maths teacher has been quite negative about her work; so hopefully the tutoring will rebuild some of Sophia's general confidence over time, which would be great. Sophia will never be a star at maths, but if she can just get passes instead of always negative marks and comments from school, we will be quite happy with that. Sophia is very good at English/Hums and art; maths is her weak area, and we are very pleased (and actually surprised) that she is sitting through an hour of maths tutoring each week without complaint. We did not know how it would go; we tried one other tutor a few months ago , a retired male maths teacher - and she hated it. So this time we are very happy.

So far so good with Tim. Tim is now tutoring both my kids and both are really happy with him. Results will show in the months to come. It is early days but we are very happy so far.

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 Northern Beaches Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Farmhouse Montessori School.
