A tutor should be patient and friendly to re-discuss any topic number of times to make their students understand until they don`t feel to move to the next topic, a tutor should be a good leader who can motivate students in the right direction. I create a friendly atmosphere where students feel free to discuss their doubts without any hesitation, I…

Science Tutor Long Jetty, NSW
By first giving the student the necessary skills to complete a range of questions this equips them with the tools to complete any question. I then allow the student to make the mistake first and learn from it by helping them change what they did. This is then followed up with an example response to a question then the student is given the chance…

Science Tutor Hamlyn Terrace, NSW
The most important thing a 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 being asked…

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be encouraging and understanding. As a student it can be hard and that is the reason you are getting tutoring. So to have someone encourage you can be a great reason to keep learning. I think my strengths as a tutor would be my patience and communication skills, as they are…

I think that as a tutor you must listen to what your student needs and give that to them. Each student will learn differently so it is extremely important that as a tutor you tailor your teaching approach to that student and their needs in order for them to learn best. As I just left school in 2021 I have a good understanding of the pressures and…

Inside TacomaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Alex worked on understanding Roman numerals up to 50 and practiced solving word problems involving time and clocks.

Year 8 student Mia focused on graphing linear equations, including plotting both linear and non-linear relationships, and also explored mean and median using real data sets.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Daniel strengthened his grasp of trigonometric ratios by writing and applying them to solve right-angled triangle questions, alongside reviewing basics of algebraic equations.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, a student often avoided writing full working when expanding brackets, leading to missed sign errors—one tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in equations with negatives."

Meanwhile, in Year 10 revision of parabolic graphs and inequalities, time management during practice tests was an issue; unfinished problems left key feedback unaddressed.

In primary levels (Year 4–5), another student struggled to recall times tables under pressure and sometimes erased answers repeatedly instead of correcting them openly during fraction-to-decimal drills. This slowed their progress through multi-step calculations and made review sessions less effective.

Recent Achievements

One Tacoma tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who'd been stuck on simultaneous equations—after working through the substitution method step by step, he solved new problems independently. In another session, a Year 10 student, previously hesitant to speak up when confused, started actively asking questions during lessons on surds and binomial products.

Meanwhile, in primary sessions, a younger student who used to rush through word problems without checking now takes time to explain her reasoning out loud before answering.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We're very happy with Kritika. Ella has taken to her easily and is really enjoying the work. I'm feeling very optimistic.

After the last session Mia said she was happy with Sam and didn't want to change to anyone else. Sam is very bright and Mia will never be an advanced Maths student but they seem to have worked out how to communicate and that just builds her confidence so she doesn't see a difficult question and get overwhelmed. Sam is also very punctual and communicates well with us as well. Even the dog likes him now.

Esme has connected with her tutor and is progressing well. We are pleased with the progress so far.

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.
