Modern History Tutor West Wollongong, NSW
As it is said, "Teacher is the second parent of the child", I believe apart from the bookish knowledge, a teacher also mentors and guides a student in life skills. A tutor can change the way a child perceives the environment in an optimistic manner. I have great communication skills and ability to build a rapport with the student. I'm a fun…

Increasing a student's confidence in answering questions is something I also consider to be important as it facilitates effective learning. I also believe it is important that…

The most important things a tutor can do for the student is to really get to know the strengths and weaknesses of the student. In identifying the strengths you can use these to help improve the weaker areas of learning. My strengths are being a patient and well resourced tutor.

Listen and understand why they wish to be at tutoring. This can help the tutor personalise the session so that the student can learn at their own pace, engage effectively and gain valuable learning. As I have been learning how to teach young children at university during my bachelor of primary education degree, I believe I am able to teach…

Local Reviews

Yue has been tutoring my daughter for over a month and things are going well. My daughter enjoys working with Yue and finds her patient and easy to work with. Yue is great with her communication and always responsive when I have contacted her in between sessions. We look forward to continuing tutoring with Yue.

Inside BrownsvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Cailyn consolidated her understanding of dividing and subtracting fractions, then extended this by practising algebraic substitutions involving decimals and like terms.

In Year 10, Daniel worked through financial mathematics topics such as calculating simple interest and motor vehicle registration costs, alongside revising questions about VATs and straight-line depreciation.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Nicholas focused on trigonometry using SOHCAHTOA for unknown sides in right-angled triangles, and also reviewed bearings problems to support his exam preparation.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student hesitated to use their calculator when stuck on fractions, leading to time lost "deciphering the formatting" rather than focusing on problem-solving.

In Year 10, one student kept working in their head during algebra and rarely showed full steps; as a tutor noted, "it was difficult knowing where she was stuck if she kept her process contained within her mind."

For a senior English assignment, difficulty planning paragraphs meant that arguments often lacked cohesion, especially when writing resumed after a break—earlier sentences were forgotten, and ideas disconnected mid-task.

Recent Achievements

One Brownsville tutor noticed Daniel, a high school student, is now reworking maths problems independently to check for accuracy—a big shift from needing reminders to double-check.

In another session, Nicholas has started structuring his English essays effectively around the most relevant characters instead of including everyone, making his analysis much sharper and more focused than before.

For Year 3 student Ariana, she's moved beyond just memorising multiplication tricks: she now uses them confidently in classwork without prompting and has begun tackling division with success.

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 Dapto District Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kanahooka High School.
