Software Dev Tutor Gosford, NSW
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…

Georgie was very happy with her tutoring with Mbonisi on Wed. They seemed to connect really well and G is keen to continue each week.

Inside Point ClareTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Yillen worked on applying Pythagoras' Theorem to both right-angled and isosceles triangles, then practiced using graphs to find coordinates for constructing triangles.

For Year 9, Chloe focused on solving trigonometry problems with SOHCAHTOA to find side lengths and unknown angles, and also revised equations for speed, distance, and time in preparation for her test.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Rory concentrated on multiplying fractions by integers and converting between improper fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals using real examples.

Recent Challenges

During recent high school sessions, logging in late and frequent distractions—such as using a phone during lessons—meant less time spent tackling new algebra or geometry questions.

In one Year 9 tutorial, "I had to almost give him 80% of the answers just to keep him engaged."

On another occasion, forgetting essential materials like calculators or notes made it hard to follow through with Pythagoras and Pi-based tasks.

Meanwhile, a primary student aiming to improve spelling rarely submitted written work for feedback, limiting opportunities for targeted support.

Missed homework and forgotten revision notes left gaps before assessments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Point Clare noticed one high school student who previously hesitated to ask for help now openly requests clarification when stuck and even asked for extra homework to challenge himself, a big shift from staying quiet during sessions.

Another secondary student, after struggling with Pythagoras' Theorem at first, walked out of the lesson confidently able to explain each step on his own.

In Year 5 English, a quieter student surprised her tutor by volunteering examples of figurative language independently, something she hadn't done before. At the end of that session, she asked if they could try harder spelling words next time.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are extremely happy with Estephanie.   She has managed to hit exactly the right note.   We are just looking for Isabel to understand some basic principles and Estaphie is managing this with patience and skill.    I cannot speak highly enough of Estaphanie.

I am happy with the way things have started up.  Peter has already had an improvement in his Maths test result and I am hoping that this will also be the case with his recent SAC.

Thank you for your follow up email. Yes it all seems to be going along fine with Ben. I think Cassie is finding helpful and slowly building her confidence again. She was quite a bit behind and struggling so I understand it will probably take a little while. She had a maths test last week which Ben appeared to provide a thorough preparation for her.

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 Kariong Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Point Clare Public School.
