The most relevant things when it comes to tutoring are being able to connect with the student in a way that they feel motivated and find the help they need in order to learn. I believe students should have access to meaningful learning. I get along very well with children and teenagers and always find the way to motivate and encourage them to…

English Tutor Banora Point, NSW
Not just tutor them, but be a friend. By opening up and developing a closer bond to students, the students feel more comfortable and it doesn't become an english tutoring session, but just a study session. I went through the course(s) myself quite recently, so I understand what's expected on the students, and what they need to do to excel and not…

Understanding self, and the acquisition of skill and knowledge are the most important things to give a student. Yes, the report card is an important ticket for students, and especially those in tutoring. But, all that knowledge will perish without use. The growth of the individual, who they are becoming through the process - a competent and…

Teach not the style I want to teach or the style I learnt but in the style that the student best learns. The content would most easily be absorbed when it is presented in the way the student best learns I am Friendly, extroverted, assertive, committed, open minded to learning new things and trying new techniques. I am not dismissive of questions…

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do is help a student find and maintain their motivation and enthusiasm for learning. It is absolutely essential that a tutor review concepts, cover material, and ensure that a student is making progress, but is equally important for a tutor to make the learning experience positive for the…

Go at there speed of learning, and not rushing the process. If the student takes time to understand a concept, do not rush them and make it seem like they are slow at understanding, but ensure they understand, which is key. I do not get upset if the student does not understand, I just find a better way of explaining the method. Perhaps, giving an…

Shubh tutored my son Travis in Term 4 for maths. Travis is in Year 7. We saw a remarkable improvement in Travis' overall attitude to school, not just in maths and we beleive Shubh played a big part in this. Thank you Shubh

Inside Cobaki LakesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Willow focused on **operations with fractions**, including simplifying, converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions, and solving written fraction problems.

In Year 9, Jeremy worked through **Pythagoras' theorem** and measurement geometry, reviewing exam topics such as area, perimeter, and volume of shapes.

For Year 10, Mia covered **algebra fundamentals**—like solving one-variable equations—while also practising how to interpret scatterplots and identify relationships in data sets using real examples.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student came to a session underprepared for advanced exam questions, having only revised basic content—"I wasn't ready for the in-depth problems," they admitted, which meant time was spent re-covering fundamentals instead of tackling challenging tasks.

In Year 10 algebra, another student's working out was messy and skipped steps, making it difficult to spot sign errors ("needs to improve ability to explain working out").

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student avoided written responses and relied heavily on verbal answers during technology issues; as noted, "to improve would be to test her spelling and grammar by writing her answers down."

Recent Achievements

One Cobaki Lakes tutor noticed Jeremy, a high school student, now reliably checks his algebra work for errors and corrects them himself—when they first started, he'd rush through problems and miss key steps.

Willow, also in high school, recently completed a Grade 7 fractions worksheet independently after struggling with the topic earlier in the term; she's begun converting fractions without prompting to make calculations easier.

Meanwhile, Bella in primary has started proofreading her written responses on her own rather than handing them straight in—last session, she caught and fixed three grammar mistakes before submitting her paragraph.

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 Elanora Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Augustine's Parish Primary School.
