Be kind and patient, and be able to adjust learning plans for the student. I am that I am a compassionate person who believes in the potential of all people. Nobody is unable to succeed, they just might require different solutions to the same struggle. I also believe myself to be good at breaking down topics, as I did this multiple times for my…

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…

English Tutor Ettalong Beach, NSW
Implement creativity and a willingness to try is the most important skill an english 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…

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…

English Tutor Woy Woy Bay, NSW
A tutors responsibility isn't to provide answers, but to guide students to find their way of learning and to provide alternative approaches when tackling problem scenarios or questions. To be a successful tutor is to develop students mindsets and enable them to eventually trust in their instinct and decide for themselves the best way to go about a…

As an english tutor/educator the most important factor to foster with your student is that you are honest and patient. Each student develops at their own pace. My strengths include: *I have found that working with special needs students has helped me to become a more compassionate and patient educator. *My ability to review my own methods if…

English Tutor Booker Bay, 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 Point ClareTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Yillen worked on applying Pythagoras' Theorem to both right-angled and isosceles triangles, then practiced using graphs to find coordinates for constructing triangles.

For Year 9, Chloe focused on solving trigonometry problems with SOHCAHTOA to find side lengths and unknown angles, and also revised equations for speed, distance, and time in preparation for her test.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Rory concentrated on multiplying fractions by integers and converting between improper fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals using real examples.

Recent Challenges

During recent high school sessions, logging in late and frequent distractions—such as using a phone during lessons—meant less time spent tackling new algebra or geometry questions.

In one Year 9 tutorial, "I had to almost give him 80% of the answers just to keep him engaged."

On another occasion, forgetting essential materials like calculators or notes made it hard to follow through with Pythagoras and Pi-based tasks.

Meanwhile, a primary student aiming to improve spelling rarely submitted written work for feedback, limiting opportunities for targeted support.

Missed homework and forgotten revision notes left gaps before assessments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Point Clare noticed one high school student who previously hesitated to ask for help now openly requests clarification when stuck and even asked for extra homework to challenge himself, a big shift from staying quiet during sessions.

Another secondary student, after struggling with Pythagoras' Theorem at first, walked out of the lesson confidently able to explain each step on his own.

In Year 5 English, a quieter student surprised her tutor by volunteering examples of figurative language independently, something she hadn't done before. At the end of that session, she asked if they could try harder spelling words next time.

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 Point Clare Public School.
