Scott
Tutor Coogee, NSW
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to build the student's confidence and give them both the belief and motivation that they can achieve the academic goals that they have set. I believe a good tutor doesn't purely provide answers, but guides students to think for themselves, developing problem solving skills and…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be approachable and create a safe space for students to open up and ask questions about their topic, and to encourage them to ask any questions even if the questions seem meaningless, because it encourages the students to be proactive in their understanding of a subject, and…

It’s essential to break down complex concepts into manageable parts and explain them in a way that makes sense to the student. Using analogies, visual aids, and real-world examples can be very effective.
Establishing a supportive and non-judgmental atmosphere where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes is vital for…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is build the student’s confidence and make learning feel less overwhelming. I also believe it’s not just about finding the right answer it’s about understanding why it’s the right answer. When students understand the reasoning behind a concept, they become more independent and develop…

Be understanding and empower them. IF they are struggling, the ability to stop them from being frustrated or minimize it is the most important skill other than being good at explaining concepts. And empowering a student to make them believe they can accomplish what they want is the goal of tutoring. I'm very calm so when they seem to be struggling…

I think the most important thing is to be ready to present the concept in multiple ways and see which one best suits the child.

The most important thing a tutor can do for their students is to give them every tool available and confidence.

Once students realise that they have learnt all the tools necessary to…

Inside CoogeeTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 4 student Robbie focused on multiplying and dividing fractions, then compared different fraction values using visual aids.
In Year 10, Claire worked through compound and simple interest calculations as well as interpreting compounded value tables for financial maths topics.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex explored the declining-balance method of depreciation and reducing-balance loans, with practical examples to deepen understanding of financial mathematics concepts.
Recent Challenges
A Year 10 student's test performance revealed persistent timing issues—"still struggling to complete tests in the correct time frame"—with rushed endings leading to unfinished questions in algebra.
For Year 11 Physics, forgotten content after missed sessions resulted in gaps that "couldn't be covered quickly before the test," causing anxiety and confusion.
In Year 6 Maths, unorganized note-taking meant key formulas were missing when revising fractions.
Another senior student hesitated to write working out for worded problems: "He holds back in case he gets an answer wrong," so mistakes remained hidden and feedback couldn't be used effectively.
Recent Achievements
One Coogee tutor recently saw a Year 9 student, previously hesitant to ask for help, now actively seeking clarification whenever confused—a big change from just nodding along in earlier sessions.
A Year 11 student has started fixing mistakes independently after only one correction, where before he would repeat the same error several times.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who used to stumble over times tables is now recalling them more smoothly each week and even completed a new set without prompts during their last session.
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 Randwick Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Brigid's Catholic Primary School.
