Work with the student to initially build understanding of a concept. However, also allowing the student to gain confidence in understanding the concept independently. I think I come from a place very similar to people in need of tutors. I have never been one to learn something right away and know that some concepts need to be explained in a…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make them feel like they are being spoken with, not spoken to. They need this so they can feel included in the discussion of learning, and not like they are being belittled for not knowing as much. I am very good at learning the best way to help someone and am able to find that way and show…

Understanding how the child learns is the single most important thing because you can't teach a child with autism the same as another child without, they both learn in completely different ways, personally I found it easier as a auditory/kinesthetic learner, meaning being taught and shown at the same time, whereas some thrive off just being taught…

Fundamentally, a tutor must be able to pass on their knowledge to students such that they can progress academically. This should be accompanied by helping and testing the students where necessary. I prefer to break down complex concepts into smaller ideas, which can then be used as a foundation for understanding and applying the actual…

Inside Secret HarbourTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Tom focused on identifying and analysing visual symbolism in picture books, using practice texts to strengthen his understanding ahead of English assessments.

For Year 10, Emily practised solving linear equations and graphing linear relationships, then worked through problems involving corresponding and alternate angles.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Alex reviewed congruent and similar triangles in geometry and tackled simple interest calculations using decimals and percentages as part of his maths lessons.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student's written work in English often lacked paragraph breaks when new speakers appeared, making dialogue hard to follow; as one tutor observed, "run-on sentences made it tricky to set the right tone."

In Year 10 maths, skipping the step-by-step working out—especially when rearranging formulas—meant marks were lost even when the answer was correct.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student struggled with sentence structuring and punctuation in longer responses, which led to confusion over intended meaning.

For a senior student preparing for exams, notes showed they relied heavily on intuition rather than checking logic or revisiting feedback after mistakes.

Recent Achievements

One Secret Harbour tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who, after struggling to analyse visual symbolism in English, is now confidently giving examples of symbolism from both pictures and texts without needing any prompts.

In a Year 7 maths session, a student who previously hesitated with fractions was able to recall last week's techniques independently and apply them correctly when multiplying and dividing.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who tended to wait for answers during worded problems has started asking clarifying questions instead of guessing, leading her to solve several division tasks on her own this week.

Maths tutoring in Secret Harbour

Maths doesn't have to be hard. The right support and the right approach change all that. Just ask any student who is doing well in maths - they usually love the feeling of "getting it". This is what we aim to create for students - intellectual independence and joy of learning. It's the only path to success in maths whether your goal is to pass or achieve A's. We focus on the content but also on teaching the right approach to learning maths. Probably the most common mistake students make is rule dependence, trying to memorize what to do without understanding why it's done that way - it doesn't work. But each student has their own issues, some with confidence others with silly mistakes or exam technique ...
