Not just tutor them, but be a friend. By opening up and developing a closer bond to students, the students feel more comfortable and it doesn't become a tutoring session, but just a study session. I went through the course(s) myself quite recently, so I understand what's expected on the students, and what they need to do to excel and not only get…

Inside TumbulgumTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Will worked on multiplying and dividing negative numbers using BODMAS rules, then applied these skills to coordinates and reflecting shapes on the Cartesian plane for an assessment.

Year 10 student Jeremy focused on exam revision covering Pythagoras' theorem and measurement of shapes and prisms, as well as analysing frequency tables, histograms, and statistics like mean, median, and mode.

For a younger student in Year 6, Bella completed maths questions involving time from her EzyMath textbook and practiced English comprehension skills through written responses.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student arrived underprepared for advanced exam questions, as "I tried to prepare for the basics in all the year 12 curriculum that I wasn't prepared for the in-depth exam questions."

In Year 10 algebra, skipping written steps made it harder to spot errors or decide which rules to apply, slowing progress on multi-step problems.

A Year 8 student often forgot essential materials—one session on area was missed entirely due to not bringing paper.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student avoided seeking feedback even after encouragement, leaving misunderstandings unaddressed and repeated in later tasks.

Recent Achievements

In a Tumbulgum tutoring session, a high school student, Jeremy, moved from hesitating over algebra to now reliably identifying steps and solving equations with far less prompting—he's even catching his own mistakes during practice.

Another win came from Willow in Year 7, who used to feel stuck on fractions but now converts and compares independently; she recently completed a full worksheet from the syllabus without needing reminders.

In primary, Bella started checking her answers for sense after making calculation errors with time—now she rechecks automatically and flags errors before moving on.

Mayeesha is doing a great job with tutoring Joanna. She comes in with such a great attitude to teach. We are blessed to have her.

Sarah is fabulous! Friendly knowledgeable and flexible with times to work in with my child. Very happy with how she is working with my daughter.

Maths tutoring in Tumbulgum

We have all had the experience of a "bad teacher" and we know it's not pleasant. Often the teacher is simply a bad match for that particular student rather than being a "bad teacher" in general but in either case the student has a serious problem. This is why many parents contact us for a private tutor - their child just can't "get it" when their teacher is teaching.

It's incredible how one explanation results in more confusion whereas another results in that "aha" feeling we all love so much! It is really a matter of getting the "right" tutor and not the "best" one. We see this every day in our work. A tutor might have hundreds of hours of experience and might have received dozens of testimonials from students, however, even such a tutor doesn't click with all students. Every tutor gets bad feedback sometimes. It's all about getting the right fit and this is what we do!

We will organise a 1-on-1 maths tutor in Tumbulgum to come to your home at a time of your choosing. They will be a local Tumbulgum maths tutor so scheduling lessons will be easy. Also, no booking fees, no minimum terms, no cancellation costs, no nonsense! And here's the best thing: your first lesson is a trial. So if you feel that the tutor wasn't a good fit, we'll organise someone else. It's our Good Fit Guarantee.

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 Murwillumbah Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tumbulgum Public School.
