Ancient History Tutor Mona Vale, NSW
Personally, I believe that in order to be a good tutor it is necessary to provide a level of support that feels as if it extends beyond the obligation that the position you hold is your job. I believe it is crucial to possess a genuine understanding for the strengths and flaws of your students in order to properly and efficiently deliver supoort…

Ancient History Tutor Church Point, NSW
1. Help them towards their study milestones so they have an unhindered path towards any given career of choice. 3. Understand something rather than memorising it. I hold this statement in significance. Having studied in different countries I understand the difference in teaching. Tutoring being 1 on 1 or in small groups allows for this. I…

Ancient History Tutor Bilgola Plateau, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to give them the confidence that they have the ability to learn. Tutors shouldn't be doing the work for the student but rather giving them the tools required to continue to grow and become active learners even after the tutoring session has ended. I am very patient, kind and empathetic and I…

Ancient History Tutor Narrabeen, NSW
The most important things a tutor can do for a student is be consistent, positive and a guidance for the student throughout their studies. It is through these attributes that a student can truly benefit from the teachings and have a willingness to learn and understand the concepts taught by the tutor. I am passionate about the subjects I teach, I…

Local Reviews

Annalise feels that she has benefited enormously from her first two sessions with her tutor, Muqeet. We both find him to be a thoughtful, empathetic and very encouraging young man. Annalise reported feeling more confident to answer questions in class and even helping her classmate get a correct answer after only her first session with Muqeet.

Inside Scotland IslandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Lucy worked through rates, ratios, and introductory trigonometry using real-life word problems.

In Year 11, Daniel focused on financial mathematics topics including simple and compound interest as well as depreciation calculations with sample HSC questions.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Emily practiced advanced exam techniques by tackling past papers covering the normal distribution and annuities alongside targeted revision of continuous probability distributions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student faced issues with exam-style questions when relying on notes instead of practicing unaided; "practice under timed conditions" revealed persistent errors that were only noticed after time ran out.

In Year 11, messy working and skipping over hints in complex algebra led to lost marks—one tutor observed, "he missed details hidden in the question stimulus."

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student tackling normal distributions avoided harder variants, focusing revision on familiar types rather than diverse exam problems. This meant confidence dropped sharply when unexpected formats appeared during practice assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Scotland Island tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after struggling with algebra earlier in the term, was able to solve complex equations independently without prompting.

Another win came from a Year 10 session where the student arrived already prepared with specific questions—something they'd hesitated to do before—which meant the lesson focused directly on what they found most challenging.

At primary level, a younger student quickly remembered and applied content from last week's session, working through new problems independently for the first time.
