Science Tutor Blakehurst, NSW
In my perspective, the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to make sure that the student is well-prepared both academically, and mentally (e.g. stress management etc.). I think my strengths are my communication skills and holistic approach to teaching, built upon a large amount of prior tutoring…

Most tutors forget that students never enjoy tutoring, so it is important to set interesting challenges to keep students motivated and also polishing their skills using unorthodox methods. Too much of the time tutors just read off the textbook and don't provide alternative methods or keep the students' focus on their work. I believe the students…

Science Tutor South Hurstville, NSW
One of the most important things a tutor can do is to support the student providing them confidence to tackle the task in front of them. Second to this I think is to provide them a roadmap of how to deal with a situation where they don't know the answer or the approach to the question. Teaching that not knowing the answer to the question is ok and…

I think a tutor can most importantly help a student with the concepts that they are struggling with in school and also helping students learn concepts that their school hasn't gone through yet so that once they do, it'll be revision for them rather than learning it for the first time. This particularly helped me when I was doing my HSC.…

Local Reviews

We had twice weekly lessons to prep Charlie for his Year 7 assessment exam as he was looking like he would fail. We got the results back this week and he achieved 68% - not fabulous but definitely much better than he would have without David so we are both very happy. Im really happy with the preparation David does, his level of communication with me & feedback & he has made a good connection with Charlie which is the most important. So far Im very very happy.

Inside Dolans BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 Thomas explored addition, subtraction, time-telling, shapes, and skip counting to identify his current strengths.

For Year 8 Lucy, recent lessons focused on angle relationships such as co-interior and alternate angles as well as types of triangles using diagrams for clarity.

Meanwhile, Year 10 Michael revised probability terminology and practiced working with tables and x-y axes to deepen understanding of statistics content.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student tended to rush through algebraic equations, skipping written steps—"he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors"—which led to confusion and extra time spent correcting work.

In Year 12, a student avoided collecting sources during research for Ancient History, leaving her scrambling later to track down details she needed for essays.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner struggled with messy handwriting in maths; unclear numbers made calculation errors more likely and frustrated her attempts at self-checking.

One Year 5 student sometimes left homework incomplete after a busy week, so practice on fractions and division lagged behind expectations.

Recent Achievements

A Dolans Bay tutoring session saw a Year 10 student finally start using her own notebook to organise maths prep—she'd previously just relied on loose worksheets, but now tracks practice problems and corrections herself.

Another tutor in the area noticed a big shift for a Year 11 student who used to avoid probability questions; after some targeted revision, he surprised himself by tackling advanced problems without hesitation.

In primary, one Year 4 student had struggled with understanding money but recently began calculating change in real-world scenarios with minimal prompting, finishing an activity about shopping totals all on her own.

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