To make complex problems easier for the students to learn. Which means being effective and time-efficient. Also, a tutor must make learning fun rather boring, so the student will gain most or everything about what you have taught them. I think I am able to provide my ways of solving problems which the students might not have. I have pieces of…

Having both been the tutee and the tutor, I believe that it is imperative that a tutor is supportive of the student and caters their teaching to the student's specific needs.

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.

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.
