Modern History Tutor Booker Bay, NSW
Provide support both academically and mentally. This can be done through practicing a topic of a subject, and also helping schedule their weeks, so they know they will still have social/leisure time, and maximize their grades and themselves. I am incredibly confident and happy to also learn new things. For example, if a student comes to me and…

Local Reviews

Jessica went really well with Zara. We're really impressed with how focused Zara is during the session/s and this is obviously in part to Jessica's approach and interest in the student. Certainly off on the right start.

Inside WagstaffeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Zac worked on adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions—including mixed and improper forms—practising how to simplify answers and interpret mathematical language like "of" as multiplication.

For Year 9, Emily tackled rearranging formulae to change the subject and substituted values into equations for homework questions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Aiden focused on finding unknown angles in right-angled triangles using Pythagoras' theorem and SOHCAHTOA, applying these skills to targeted homework problems.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, one student arrived without his notes and workbook—this meant he had no clear guide for exam revision and felt unprepared. "He also left his notes and school work book at school so he didn't have any guidelines for revision."

For a Year 10 session, the absence of a calculator led to delays as questions requiring Pi could not be solved efficiently; as noted, "he mentioned it might be under his bed."

Another Year 9 student tackled trigonometry but skipped writing out steps, which made sign errors harder to spot. In these moments, confidence faltered when resources or process weren't in place.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Wagstaffe noticed a big shift with a Year 8 student who, after previously hesitating to speak up, started asking for extra homework and even requested help with challenging school tasks—something he'd never done before.

In a recent high school session, another student who struggled to recall steps in rearranging formulas was able to substitute values independently and check his own work.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student went from needing reminders on clock problems to confidently drawing currency diagrams and tackling worded money questions using strategies she'd practised the week before.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

So far Katie has been prompt, personable and prepared. As you say it is very early days -we are only just getting to the point where we are clear on where she is at and where she needs to be.

Yes we are happy with Kavindu. Emily seems more confident with one on one home tutoring than class tutoring. thanks

He's here now, drinking miso and walking Em through Pythagoras (poor sole). It's all good.  She appreciates this time and enjoys his learning insights so that's a winner.

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 Umina Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Pretty Beach Public School.
