I believe the most important thing is to have a routine, be reliable, and to have the student be a part of every decision in their learning. My time with a student is not about a test or exam. It is about creating the skills for a student to be able to improve as they move through school and beyond. This is something that is going to be…

The most important thing you can do for a student (other than teaching them the things they are struggling with) is letting them know they aren't as "stupid" as they may feel. So many students enter tutoring frustrated, upset and not wanting to be there because they believe that they are "stupider" or "dumber" than their friends because "well my…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to understand the needs of their student and develop effective resources that work for THAT student. It is also important to recognise what kind of work load people are capable of handling so that you do not overwhelm them with tasks, as this would be counterproductive. So I guess,…

A tutor needs to be their every week and ontime. A tutor must plan lessons that meet the needs and goals of the student. A tutor must be able to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a student and plan the lesson and the program so the student can meet the learning needs of the student. Knowing the student.

The most important thing an english tutor could do is create a safe environment for the student. Learning can be more comprehensive and explicit once the student is comfortable around their tutor’s presence. The tutor also must maintain and adhere to an elaborate study plan to help the student. I am very patient and would never snap even on…

Support and patience. Trying to force too many things at once can only frustrate somebody attempting to better themselves, following a pace the student is best learning at is crucial. Frustration and not grasping an idea or a concept can lead to giving up, which is why support and again patience are key. I'm reliable, patient and easy to talk to.…

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to not only understand where the student is at within their academics, but in their personal life as well. A student's schooling can be very stressful and there is a lot of pressure from others. My role would be to make sure that I am not pressuring them, and that we reward…

Inside Rocky PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Lucas worked through Roman numerals up to 50 and tackled time-telling using both the 24-hour clock and word problems.

In Year 8, Emily practiced graph plotting for linear and non-linear equations as well as finding the mean and median from data sets.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ethan focused on financial maths by calculating interest amounts and understanding how rate and time period affect overall interest, alongside applying these concepts in real-life scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, one student struggled to show working when expanding brackets—he skipped steps with signs, so errors went unnoticed, as noted after a lesson.

In Year 10 trigonometry, another student hesitated to write out formulas and often left units off answers, making revision harder later.

A Year 12 student reviewing integration kept reaching for calculator shortcuts instead of practicing substitution by hand, which slowed their grasp of new methods.

Meanwhile, in Year 3, untidy written work during fraction problems made it tough to trace back and fix calculation slips from earlier lines.

Recent Achievements

A Rocky Point tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to get flustered by equations now working through factorisation much more neatly, showing cleaner steps and greater confidence when solving on his own.

Another recent high school session saw a student who'd always hesitated to ask for help now actively voicing questions during graph plotting, marking a real shift from silent guessing to genuine engagement.

At primary level, one child who previously mixed up area and perimeter started identifying each correctly and could explain their differences without prompting after practicing with squares and rectangles.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Justin has been such an asset to Connor, honestly, his confidence and understanding has improved with Justin's assistance. We are so greatful to yourselves and Justin for all the work and patience over the past couple of weeks.

Also, I would like to say that the tutor provided, Ray, was outstanding. A thorough gentleman, always professional, diligent, interested and concerned. Just a good decent young man on every front. I certainly believe that Ray deserves some acknowledgement and recognition, and that he set a standard in your organisation that would be hard to better, he is a great testament of quality that any organisation tries to deliver. We were always pleased to have him in our home and wish him all the very best in his future.

I also wanted to say Matthew has been absolutely fantastic, he has a great manner and is very patient.  Anja's maths has definitely improved. i suspect we will need a tutor again in the second half of next year hopefully Matthew is available then.  I will certainly recommend your service to others.   I also wanted to say thank you for all the fabulous resources you offer.

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