Emily

Modern History Tutor Hobartville, NSW
One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to give him or her self-confidence. I believe that this is especially important for struggling students. A tutor must encourage students and provide them with the tools required for academic success. A student should enjoy tutoring sessions whilst consistently improving during them.…

Inside Pitt Town BottomsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Chloe worked on breaking numbers into tens and ones as well as practising addition and subtraction using real-life examples.

In Year 10, Jamie focused on revising financial mathematics, particularly interest calculations, and also reviewed the basics of simultaneous equations and inequalities from class.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Alex tackled HSC Business Studies topics including marketing influences—such as psychological and sociocultural factors affecting customer choice—and completed revision of marketing processes with exam-style practice questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Business Studies, one student often left note revision and exam practice until the last minute, leading to "bottlenecking" before trials—this meant re-learning content instead of refining responses.

A tutor observed that skipping regular review sessions caused connections between syllabus concepts to be missed, limiting depth in written reports.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 Maths student frequently avoided writing out full working for algebra problems; as noted, "he tried to do it all in his head," resulting in hidden errors and less confidence tackling new equations.

In both cases, organization and consistent process directly shaped outcomes.

Recent Achievements

One Pitt Town Bottoms tutor recently saw a Year 11 student who, after weeks of hesitation, started actively pinpointing his weaker topics and steering the session toward those gaps—a big shift from earlier lessons where he waited for direction.

Another high schooler, previously prone to rushing through practice exams and missing details, took extra time during a session to double-check multiple choice answers under timed conditions and improved accuracy as a result.

In a primary lesson, Sannae used chunking strategies to sound out longer words independently, instead of waiting for help with tricky reading passages.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Nicholas seems happy with Gaj and already he is seeing improvements in his understanding of the maths topics he has covered.  Nicholas is more motivated with maths now and his confidence has improved greatly.

Graeme is happy with Gajith as it is great to have someone who can explain how to answer the question on the spot.

Thank you for the follow up email. Eden is already streaking ahead with the help of Nicole. She is great at what she does. Eden enjoys the tutoring sessions & feels comfortable with Nicole. Nicole is also very accommodating regarding upcoming tests etc & is willing & able to schedule additional sessions, if & when required. I am very happy with the progress 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 Hawkesbury Central Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Pitt Town Public School.
