Empathy is key. If a tutor can show how learning certain topics can help a student in the future, it keeps the student's interest held in the subject for longer. What really helps is to periodically give some positive feedback to the student about their progress - how he or she has improved in the past 3 months, or month, for example. Because of…

Inside Watsons BayTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 8 student Michael revised algebra questions in preparation for an upcoming test and practiced solving equations involving both x and y.
For Year 9, Sasha focused on ratios and rates by reviewing her topic test and term exam paper, identifying areas to improve before finals.
Meanwhile, Roy in Year 10 worked through a holiday homework booklet covering algebraic techniques and coordinate geometry to consolidate his understanding ahead of the new term.
Recent Challenges
In Year 9, one student's algebra progress was limited by messy written work; as a tutor observed, "needs to get used to setting out work properly—linear equations in most cases will need to be solved on paper rather than just mentally."
Meanwhile, a Year 11 student preparing for exams struggled with time management and did not consistently check their answers under timed conditions, which led to repeated minor errors.
In Year 6 maths sessions, incomplete working made it hard for the tutor to identify where confusion began when dividing fractions. In those moments, confidence dropped and valuable learning opportunities slipped past.
Recent Achievements
During a recent Watsons Bay tutoring session, Roy, a high school student, confidently tackled algebra problems he'd struggled with at the start—he revisited those same questions and solved them independently this time.
Another tutor noted that Sasha, also in high school, now actively identifies her own mistakes and is keen to fix them during sessions, a shift from earlier weeks when she was hesitant to speak up about errors.
Meanwhile, Zane in Year 3 has shown a big change in attitude: instead of getting discouraged by wrong answers, he keeps trying until he gets it right.

Local Spots for Tutoring
