Implement creativity and a willingness to try is the most important skill a tutor can pass on to their students. Once a student builds a willingness to try and a need to challenge themselves, they will be more likely to build good habits and routines around creating these pathways for themselves. I always ask myself 'how do students learn' and…

Tutor North Avoca, NSW
The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student in my opinion is to give them guidance on how to be successful in the subject we tutor. At the end of the day we only see them once or twice a week. We can't teach them everything. So it is important that we guide them on how to learn and study in order to be successful.

Inside Picketts ValleyTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 5 student Olivia worked on applying area formulas for rectangles, triangles, and complex shapes by breaking them into simpler parts.
Year 7 Zac focused on mastering addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions, including work with mixed and improper fractions as well as simplifying results.
For Year 8 Yillen, recent lessons included practice with Pythagoras' Theorem in right-angled triangles and using graphs to find coordinates for triangle construction.
Recent Challenges
A Year 8 student often arrived to lessons without essential materials, such as his calculator and notes, making it harder to revise topics like Pi and follow up on feedback.
In another case, a Year 5 learner's tendency to avoid writing out working for arithmetic led to confusion—"she answered one question in three different parts of the page," a tutor observed, which resulted in errors being missed.
For a senior preparing for the HSC, slow progress was noted when homework was incomplete or focus waned during revision blocks; this limited exposure to challenging questions before exam time.
Recent Achievements
One Picketts Valley tutoring session saw a Year 10 student, Olivia, move from often needing prompts to independently writing out area formulas and substituting values without hesitation—she even tackled trickier worded problems by herself.
A high school student named Zach, who was previously quiet during lessons, has started speaking up much more when problem-solving and now takes the lead in working through challenging fraction questions that used to stump him.
In Year 5, Lilly showed a real shift: instead of waiting for hints, she stopped her tutor from stepping in so she could complete equivalent fraction and percentage tasks entirely on her own.

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 Kincumber Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Terrigal High School.
