Tutor Bellbird, NSW
That they are able to teach concepts that match the student's learning style and can also take the time to go into detail about a single concept when a student is struggling with it. That I am able to have fun sessions with the students, but are also able to get the work done. That I am able to adapt and am flexible if the student needs to change…

Tutor Bellbird, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be their best role model. I believe that the best way to teach is not by words but by actions. I can be flexible and can adjust to the needs of my students; I am approachable and sociable; and most importantly, I am confident that I can inspire them to pursue their…

Tutor Cessnock, NSW
The most important things a tutor can do for a student, first, is to help them discover their learning styles and develop the right learning habits. Second, a good tutor should know how to bring the lively passion of learning to the students for their future learning experience. Strengths: having the communication skills to help others discover…

Everything is going well with Dexter. Jordana gets on really well with her, and finds Dexter explains things very clearly, and has been a great help already with her understanding of Maths.

Inside PokolbinTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Oliver worked through the introduction to complex numbers, covering the complex plane, conjugates, modulus and arithmetic with complex numbers, then practiced converting between polar and Cartesian forms.

In Year 9, Mia focused on solving equations—moving from simple linear equations to those involving fractions—while also reviewing simultaneous equations and inequalities.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Ava tackled volume calculations for prisms and cylinders using diagrams, followed by a review of binomial factors to reinforce her understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, one student's written solutions were often unclear—"it's good practice to have a comprehensible solution so you may present your findings more clearly"—which made it harder to identify small algebraic errors and slowed progress in later sessions.

A Year 9 student sometimes forgot her homework, particularly when working on fractions and decimals, which limited her ability to build fluency between lessons.

In Year 8 English, low motivation became apparent as engagement dropped off during challenging discussions; as the tutor noted, "she lost focus and interest as the session progressed," leaving some text analysis unfinished.

Recent Achievements

One Pokolbin tutor noticed a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to show her reasoning now confidently explains each step out loud while tackling algebra problems, a big shift from silent guessing.

In Year 11, another student who struggled with conditional probability recently constructed a correct two-way table without prompting, showing real independence.

Meanwhile, a primary student has begun checking her own work for errors and correcting them before asking for help—something she never attempted in earlier sessions.

Most recently, she returned her homework fully completed and asked to discuss the trickiest question first.

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 Cessnock City Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Philip's Christian College - Cessnock.
