Science Tutor Ettalong Beach, NSW
Implement creativity and a willingness to try is the most important skill a tutor can pass on to their students. Once a student builds a willingness to try and a need to challenge themselves, they will be more likely to build good habits and routines around creating these pathways for themselves. I always ask myself 'how do students learn' and…

I think the best thing a tutor can do is make learning feel achievable. A big part of that is adapting to how each student learns, breaking things down in a way that makes sense to them, and giving them the confidence to tackle challenges on their own. Tutoring isn't just about getting through the syllabus, it's about showing students how to think…

Help them enjoy learning. The role of a tutor should be to engage the student and make the learning process fun, encouraging them to put more effort into their learning, consequently improving their results. As well as this, it is vital that a tutor guide the student to a solution rather than simply giving them the answer, allowing them to…

Empowering students to learn and build efficiency learning habits that are sustainable. I can relate to students as I have also been in their position before. Knowing what it feels like to be in a learning process I can be patient when teaching content. I enjoy learning as I am teaching as well so I can work through things with my…

Science Tutor Gosford, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is giving them confidence that they can learn. This will give them confidence to try and be creative in finding ways to understand any complex topic they need to know. One of my strengths as a tutor is that I am creative in discussing complex topics. I can discuss the same topic in different…

Science Tutor Woy Woy, NSW
I think that whilst having adaptive teaching methods is important, ensuring the student constantly feels supported and motivated by the tutor is vital. For me, in school no matter how much I was struggling (especially in maths) I found that having a great, understanding teacher, allowed me to not be afraid of asking ‘stupid’ questions. So for…

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…

The lesson yesterday went well. Manuela's feedback was very happy. She enjoyed the lesson and thinks that Roshini is very polite and calm.

Inside Phegans BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Yillen focused on applying Pythagoras' Theorem in right-angled triangles and practiced finding perimeters and areas, using diagrams to clarify each step.

Year 9 student Mia worked through rearranging formulas to find unknown dimensions in area questions and calculated the areas of composite shapes by breaking them down into familiar figures.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ava reviewed trigonometry concepts for an upcoming test, including solving for unknown sides and angles using SOHCAHTOA and the Pythagorean theorem.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, as one tutor noted, "she needed reminders to write all her working out," especially when rearranging SOHCAHTOA equations—omitting steps made sign errors harder to spot and correct.

For a Year 11 student, forgotten calculators during lessons on tax calculations meant the session slowed down and key practice was missed.

A Year 10 lesson saw late arrival and distraction: "I had to almost give him 80% of the answers this lesson just to keep him engaged enough to try."

In English (Year 9), minimal written material limited feedback opportunities on essays using PETAL structure.

Recent Achievements

One Phegans Bay tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to hesitate when tackling homework—this week, he openly asked for help with school assignments and even requested extra challenging problems, something he'd avoided before.

In a high school session, another student who struggled with Pythagoras' Theorem picked up the foundations quickly and managed to solve several right-angle triangle questions independently by lesson's end.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who'd been quiet at first started confidently explaining her reasoning out loud after just a few sessions.

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 Brisbane Water Secondary College Woy Woy Campus.
