Biology Tutor Narara, NSW
offer them a different perspective of the problem to what they are used to if there is a misunderstanding of the problem. giving them insight on how to deal with problems that they have trouble with. very adept at explaining things, good at using different methods to explain a problem, patient, and I try to approach each student in a different way…

I believe the most important thing a biology tutor can do for a student is learning to adapt. Each students brain is wired completely different, and in school, there’s not always an opportunity to work one on one. So it’s crucial for a tutor to observe their students strengths and weaknesses, and use that to progress their learning. I am super…

Beth is great tutor for my son. She explains concepts in a very simple manner and enables my son to feel more confident about his work. She is great.

Inside Palm GroveTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Naplan worked through numeracy skills, focusing on decimal addition and multiplication as well as moving the decimal point.

For Year 8, Liv tackled index laws, including multiplying and dividing indices, powers of fractions, and the zero index law with targeted practice on fraction powers.

In Year 9, Chloe focused on formulae and equations for an upcoming test—revising speed, distance, time formulas—and clarified tricky questions from her practice set.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student struggled to retain steps in multi-part algebra problems—"he tends to forget the steps after eagerly doing them," noted one tutor. Messy working made it harder to spot where things went off track.

In Year 11, another student repeatedly confused indices and multiplication, which led to repeated errors during revision drills; over-reliance on memory rather than written checks meant mistakes lingered across sessions.

A Year 5 student left homework incomplete and had not brought necessary materials from school, making targeted revision impossible that day.

In each case, lost time and uncertainty crept into otherwise productive lessons.

Recent Achievements

A Palm Grove tutor recently noticed that Liv, a Year 10 student, moved from needing step-by-step guidance with algebraic fractions to confidently tackling them independently—she now spots patterns and applies the correct rules without prompting.

In another session, a high schooler who used to hesitate before asking for help began proactively requesting extra homework challenges, even explaining his mistakes in class with new self-assurance.

Meanwhile, Arielle in primary school quickly picked up fraction concepts; after initially needing demonstrations, she started solving problems solo and applying her learning across different types of questions.

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