I think a tutor should help a child believe in themselves, and believe that they can achieve anything they put their mind to. It is important to give them lots of encouragement, kindness, whilst also challenging them to step outside of their comfort zones. I think a tutor should also go beyond merely giving out the same, mundane worksheets and…

One of the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to know their student. In terms of what the student already knows, what they don't know, how they study, and how they digest the material they learn. This will allow the tutor to come up with a successful plan to teach the student and help them based on that specific student. I…

It is important to be patient with a student; they won't always understand what is being taught and as a tutor you need to be able to explain something in a way that they will understand the concept.

Local Reviews

David has done a fantastic job. He is brilliant with the girls who are usually very shy and timid.
Zoe, Coogee

Inside CoogeeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Chinnu worked on mastering times tables and explored the relationship between fractions, decimals, and percentages by graphing results.

For Year 10, Daniel reviewed parabolas and quadratic equations, focusing on both problem-solving strategies and pre-test revision.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah tackled matrices and vectors from her recent assessments, along with a targeted review of key topics that appeared in her test materials.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 mathematics, one student tended to do most calculations mentally, which led to missed steps and inconsistent results—"he needs a method that suits him but shows working," as a tutor observed.

In English (Year 7), another found it difficult to organize ideas on paper, resulting in long, confusing stories; focus drifted especially when writing dialogue or solving worded math problems.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student hesitated to communicate confusion in class and rarely asked for help, making persistent gaps harder to address before assessments. The silence lingered even after lessons ended.

Recent Achievements

One Coogee tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask for help; now, she's openly requesting clarification on tricky questions and working through problems independently.

Another high schooler, Harrison, moved from struggling to identify key features of parabolas in week one to confidently pinpointing them by week two—showing clear progress in understanding quadratics.

In primary sessions, Bander surprised his tutor by applying new creative writing techniques at home between lessons, showing initiative and ownership over his learning that wasn't there before.

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 Spearwood Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Coogee Primary School.
