Help them enjoy learning. The role of a tutor should be to engage the student and make the learning process fun, encouraging them to put more effort into their learning, consequently improving their results. As well as this, it is vital that a tutor guide the student to a solution rather than simply giving them the answer, allowing them to…

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Madison has now had two sessions with Emma, they seem to be going well, Emma is very personable, has been working on some practice sheets with Madison for an upcoming maths test.  All seems well so far.

It is going well with Gerard. Gerard is focusing on homework each week and then extending him in certain areas, such as fractions and decimals, which he finds hard. Luke has mentioned that he has learnt some new ways of approaching some problems and algorithms, which has made him feel more confident at school. Gerard has a lovely manner and appears to relate well to Luke.

Gabie really likes Michael and his way of teaching. We are very happy with him so far. I am very impressed with your staff 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 Kincumber Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Terrigal High School.
