Modern History Tutor Bulli, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be an inspiration to them in achieving their milestones, tracking their progress, recording their scores and provide constructive feedbacks and reinforcement. To be dedicated in seeing a student's improvement by helping reach their full potential. My greatest strength being a tutor is…

Inside ScarboroughTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Daniel focused on linear equations and practiced rates and ratios, using real-life examples to reinforce concepts.

In Year 10, Emily worked through quadratic equations using the quadratic formula and explored parabolas by sketching their graphs.

Meanwhile, Year 3 student Remi tackled word problems involving missing integers and built confidence with time and date questions in a supportive setting.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, one student relied on assumptions about pronumeral order from previous questions—she assumed the order was the same, which affected her answer and working out. This habit meant careless mix-ups persisted through several problems.

A Year 11 student struggled to maintain attention to detail when reading income tax tables, leading to missed information.

In Year 8 English, reluctance to complete homework surfaced when "he dodged the question of homework towards the end of the lesson," making it harder to reinforce skills between sessions.

For a primary learner with ADD, skipping written working in maths made small errors harder to spot and correct.

Recent Achievements

One Scarborough tutor noticed a real shift with Erin, a high school student who used to hesitate when faced with systems of equations—this week she confidently used both elimination and substitution methods on her own, even checking her steps without prompting.

Another senior student made visible progress in factorising quadratics: after struggling to remember the cross method, she was able to identify and apply it accurately across different problems.

Meanwhile, Max in primary school surprised his tutor by eagerly reading aloud from a new book series; previously reluctant to read unfamiliar material, he now tackles tricky passages willingly and discusses their meaning afterward.
