Science Tutor Sandgate, NSW
The biggest thing would be to help students understand that ignorance is not failure. Just because they don't know something "basic", that does not mean they are worse than others, or are stupider, or are not going to succeed. It simply means they were not taught in a way that makes sense to them. This could be for a number of reasons, and not…

I think the most important thing is that they feel motivated to learn, and that going to a tutor would be a fun experience for them. With that, a tutor should be able to clearly teach students and that the student can confidently go to a tutor knowing that he or she will fully understand his or lessons. They should always feel that the learning…

Inside The HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Emily focused on mastering division facts and multiples through practical exercises.

For Year 9, Jack reviewed financial mathematics topics including depreciation methods and calculating shares with dividend yield, working through exam-style questions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah consolidated her understanding of the quadratic formula and practiced completing the square to solve quadratic equations, using worked examples to build confidence for assessments.

Recent Challenges

Several process habits stood out across different year levels.

In Year 11 Financial Mathematics, one student relied heavily on formulas—"Liz tends to just plug numbers in rather than understand the context," noted a tutor—making it difficult when questions changed style or required real-world reasoning.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student working on algebra showed reluctance to attempt "hard-looking" problems and often defaulted to "I don't know" before trying, leading her to avoid deeper problem solving and backchecking.

Another senior student's working out was mostly done mentally; without writing steps down, errors went unnoticed, especially under exam pressure. This sometimes left marks unclaimed despite strong content knowledge.

Recent Achievements

Danika took the initiative to identify and organise her questions before lessons—a shift from earlier sessions where she'd hesitate to speak up.

Liz has become much more willing to challenge her tutor's answers during tricky financial maths topics. Last week she confidently explained her reasoning for z-score problems, even teaching back some concepts she'd struggled with before.

Lara used new time-blocking strategies to plan study sessions and independently completed a challenging linear equations problem without help by the end of her lesson.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Andrew is very happy with Stephen's tutorials. They have already formed a very healthy teacher student relationship, and Andrew is enjoying his Maths.  He got everything correct in a test he did at school last week.  The only thing that was incorrect was the fact that his decimal point was not in the correct place.

Just letting you know that Layla is gaining a lot from Jacob and in only three weeks.  Her confidence is starting to grow little by little and she is trying more on her own which is great to see.

Everything is going well. Lizzy and I are very happy with Michael and pleased with her results 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 Newcastle Region Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Newcastle East Public School.
