Physics Tutor Banora Point, NSW
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 Upper DurobyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Jeremy worked through Pythagoras' theorem problems and revised measurement topics such as perimeter, area, and volume to prepare for upcoming exams.

Year 7 student Will focused on multiplying and dividing negative numbers using the number line, as well as plotting points and reflecting shapes on the Cartesian plane for his assessment.

For Year 6, Bella completed maths questions involving elapsed time and money calculations, while also practising English comprehension with written responses.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student arrived to a session only partly prepared, focusing on basics but not bringing necessary notes for deeper exam-style questions—this left her struggling to tackle the most challenging problems.

In Year 9 algebra, one student's written work was messy and skipped key steps; as the tutor put it, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

For a Year 7 English task, another avoided editing her PowerPoint formatting and spelling before submission, despite reminders.

Meanwhile, a primary student couldn't complete an area exercise because she'd forgotten to bring paper—losing valuable practice time that lesson.

Recent Achievements

In high school maths, Jeremy has gone from needing regular help with algebra and trigonometry to working through problems independently, even tackling worded questions on Pythagoras' theorem without hesitation—something he struggled with a few months ago.

Meanwhile, Willow, also in high school, now reliably catches her own mistakes in fraction work and applies new rules after one reminder, showing more initiative than before.

On the primary side, Bella started rereading her writing to spot errors herself rather than waiting for prompts and successfully completed a tricky spelling challenge for homework.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Hi, Ruhail has been great and his flexibility has helped enormously. He spent 3.5 hours with Casey last weekend as she had a test she was very concerned about. Casey did much better in her test than she would have done and we are already over the moon. Please pass on our thanks.

Yes, we are very pleased that Sophia likes Rebecca and the tutoring seems to be going well. Rebecca obviously has patience and takes the time to explain things so Sophia can follow them and work through the maths, which is exactly what we wanted. The problem with the school is they move along so fast that there is not enough practice time, and we (the parents) are not familiar with what they teach so we can't just help out quickly; we have to re-learn it ourselves first, and then we're probably not good at explaining clearly. That's why it is great having Rebecca who can obviously explain things in a way Sophia understands. The main thing is that Sophia sees herself as '˜no good at maths', but when something is explained so she understands it, she is very pleased when she can get the right answers. A lot of it is a confidence thing I think, and also her school maths teacher has been quite negative about her work; so hopefully the tutoring will rebuild some of Sophia's general confidence over time, which would be great. Sophia will never be a star at maths, but if she can just get passes instead of always negative marks and comments from school, we will be quite happy with that. Sophia is very good at English/Hums and art; maths is her weak area, and we are very pleased (and actually surprised) that she is sitting through an hour of maths tutoring each week without complaint. We did not know how it would go; we tried one other tutor a few months ago , a retired male maths teacher - and she hated it. So this time we are very happy.

So far so good with Tim. Tim is now tutoring both my kids and both are really happy with him. Results will show in the months to come. It is early days but we are very happy 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 Murwillumbah Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Bilambil Public School.
