English Tutor Gosford, NSW
Be present and engaged in each lesson and ensure they thoroughly understand each topic before moving on. I would say my main strengths are patience and communication. When it comes to breaking down questions, it helps to work through things slowly and ensure understanding at each…

Harrison
English Tutor Saratoga, NSW
I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to make them feel proud and confident with themselves as well as being a supportive teacher. I know from experience that when you're struggling with a concept it is a very disheartening thing and can lead to self doubt and giving up. I think a tutor should help a student…

Kayla
English Tutor Wyoming, NSW
The most important things an english tutor can do for a student are to offer encouragement, build trust and provide clear explanations. It is essential that a safe space is created for the student to ask questions and make mistakes. This will ultimately allow students to effectively engage with the material provided by taking risks with their…

Carol
English Tutor Ettalong Beach, NSW
I believe a truly effective tutor can accurately pinpoint the source of a student's struggle with a particular topic, and propose the correct solution. For example, trouble with foundational concepts often stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of the basics, therefore it is important to readdress the theory portion of the topic and provide…

Inside KariongTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 8 student Yillen worked on understanding Pythagoras' Theorem in right-angled triangles and practiced applying formulas to real-world measurement problems, as well as revising volume and surface area for composite shapes.
In Year 9, Chloe focused on trigonometry using SOHCAHTOA to solve for unknown side lengths and angles, and also reviewed equations involving speed, distance, and time by tackling challenging practice questions.
Meanwhile, primary student Arielle (Year 6) strengthened her skills with perimeter and area calculations, then moved on to test revision covering surface area and the volume of shapes.
Recent Challenges
A Year 8 student recently left his notes and workbook at school before an exam, leaving him without revision guidelines. "He didn't have any materials to reference," a tutor noted, so lesson time shifted to improvised preparation rather than targeted review.
In Year 10 English, limited written work was submitted for feedback, slowing progress in essay structure and spelling improvement—requests for more drafts were not always met.
For a senior Maths student, frequent late arrivals (up to 12 minutes) and device distractions meant most questions needed heavy prompting; the flow of independent problem-solving stalled as attention drifted elsewhere.
Recent Achievements
A tutor in Kariong noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who, after struggling with Pythagoras' Theorem, left the session able to explain each step independently—just last week he needed constant reminders.
Another high schooler took real initiative for the first time by asking for extra homework to challenge himself, instead of waiting for tasks to be assigned.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who'd hesitated to speak up is now confidently breaking down word problems and explaining her reasoning out loud, finishing her three-digit multiplication worksheet on her own.

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