Foster critical thinking so that the students can go on to learn how to think rather than what to think. I also think it is important to teach creative thinking so that students can learn to avoid biases and come up with different perspectives to solve future problems I am a very patient person that is willing to take time to make sure that…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are provide academic guidance, human connection, and consistency.

This can be done through things such as setting goals, identifying strengths and weaknesses, as well as personalised, individual attention.

Make sure that the student is comfortable with your way of teaching and is actively involved. Tutoring is not only about jabbering stuff even though the student doesn’t understand a single thing. You have to take it slow and steady until your student is confident enough and can explain the same concept back to you even well. - calmness…

Local Reviews

Both daughters were very happy with Emily's tutoring
Ian, Callaghan

Inside SandgateTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Emily focused on solving simultaneous equations and explored how rates and ratios are applied in worded problems.

In Year 10, Jacob worked through coordinate geometry by finding gradients and x/y intercepts of lines, then practiced applying the sine rule for non-right angled triangles.

For Year 12, Sarah reviewed normal distribution concepts such as z-scores and the 68-95-99.7 rule, and also tackled critical path analysis by constructing network diagrams from activity charts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student struggled with test performance due to exam stress, overcomplicating problems despite knowing the material—"she was disappointed with her 48% even though she knew all the content well."

In Year 9, another student's working out for probability questions was hard to follow, making it difficult for markers to see their reasoning.

Homework completion has been inconsistent; a Year 5 learner admitted not doing last week's homework and missed valuable practice on place value.

A Year 8 student repeatedly mixed up steps in algebraic rearrangement, leading to repeated corrections during the lesson instead of progressing.

Recent Achievements

One Sandgate tutor recently saw a Year 10 student move from relying on tree diagrams to confidently working out probability problems in her head—a big leap in independence since last term.

A senior student who previously struggled with rates and ratios now completes related questions without hesitation, having turned this former stumbling block into a strength.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who used to get confused by mixed fractions quickly grasped the conversion steps after using diagrams for visual support, and wrapped up the lesson by converting between mixed and improper fractions on her own.

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 Mayfield Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Awabakal Environmental Education Centre.
