Biology Tutor Tweed Heads South, NSW
The most important things is for a tutor to help a student to come to a place where they enjoy the experience of learning rather than see it as a chore. I am very good at communicating complex ideas using simple…

Inside PiggabeenTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Bella focused on writing creative narratives based on familiar texts and practiced English skills like sentence structure, homonyms, and onomatopoeia using targeted worksheets.

In Year 8, Willow worked through fraction operations—adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing—as well as converting fractions to mixed numbers and simplifying expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Jeremy concentrated on exam revision by reviewing Pythagoras' Theorem problems and measurement concepts such as area and volume of shapes and prisms.

Recent Challenges

The Year 12 student struggled with organization—"I wasn't prepared for the in-depth exam questions," she noted after focusing only on basic revision.

In Year 9 algebra, another student hesitated to show her work to others and rarely acted on feedback; as observed: "I keep suggesting to show others her work, however, this isn't evident."

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student arrived without paper needed for area calculations, halting progress mid-lesson.

In senior maths, one student's written layout became hard to follow when working through simultaneous equations involving fractions and exponents—mistakes then went unnoticed until late review.

Recent Achievements

A Piggabeen tutoring session saw Jeremy, a high school student, go from second-guessing his algebra skills to independently tackling complex equations—he now recognises and corrects mistakes on his own rather than waiting for prompts.

Willow, also in high school, used to hesitate when faced with fraction problems but has started converting and comparing fractions unaided; last lesson she completed a Grade 7 worksheet solo after needing reminders just weeks ago.

In primary, Bella recently began double-checking her answers during time management tasks instead of rushing ahead—a noticeable shift from earlier sessions where errors often went unchecked.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Brendan is very happy with Gennady, he is doing a great job at the moment, thank you for sending him, wish he had started earlier with him.

Hannah has got off to a great start and has really connected with Mihika and finding the sessions beneficial with the results already showing in her last test results. Therefore we are happy and looking at this at this long term for the next 18 months. Mihika is very patient and Hannah finds it very easy to work with her.

All is progressing fine at present and we are happy with Raymond's tutoring.  Patrick has warmed to him also and we see him asking a lot more questions than he would ask normally.

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