English Tutor East Gosford, NSW
I think the most important thing is approaching learning with compassion and patience. It is really important to consider that not everyone learns best with the same teaching style, and can process information at different paces. I think it's important to understand each person's learning style; if they are not understanding what you are saying,…

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to make them feel proud and confident with themselves as well as being a supportive teacher. I know from experience that when you're struggling with a concept it is a very disheartening thing and can lead to self doubt and giving up. I think a tutor should help a student…

Implement creativity and a willingness to try is the most important skill an english tutor can pass on to their students. Once a student builds a willingness to try and a need to challenge themselves, they will be more likely to build good habits and routines around creating these pathways for themselves. I always ask myself 'how do students…

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is learning to adapt.

So it’s crucial for a tutor to observe their students strengths and weaknesses, and use that to progress their learning. I am…

A tutors responsibility isn't to provide answers, but to guide students to find their way of learning and to provide alternative approaches when tackling problem scenarios or questions.

Provide support both academically and mentally.

Ultimately, there are two things. Teaching a student to be curious, and teaching a student how to learn. Education systems are designed to filter all kids through a rigid, structured system, which, although brilliant for most, loses the spirit of why we learn. Because we are curious! We like to see how things work, to investigate our world and…

I think the most important thing is taking the pressure off being “perfectâ€. There is no such thing as perfection and everyone reaches success differently. What works for one person may not work for another and in standardised exams, this often gets misconstrued, adding to the weight of being the perfect student. My patience and positive…

I believe a truly effective tutor can accurately pinpoint the source of a student's struggle with a particular topic, and propose the correct solution. For example, trouble with foundational concepts often stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of the basics, therefore it is important to readdress the theory portion of the topic and provide…

Inside East GosfordTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Yillen focused on applying the Pythagoras Theorem to right-angled and isosceles triangles using graphs, then moved into surface area and volume calculations for various shapes.

For Year 9, Chloe practiced trigonometry with SOHCAHTOA to solve for unknown sides and angles in triangles, and revised equations involving speed, distance, and time by working through targeted practice questions.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Arielle worked on unit fractions—ordering them by size and simplifying—as well as constructing factor trees to identify highest common factors.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, one student's lack of organization became clear when she arrived to an exam revision session without her notes or workbook, making targeted preparation impossible and leading to distraction.

"I had to almost give him 80% of the answers this lesson to try to keep him engaged enough to try," noted a tutor for another senior student who was late, unfocused, and unprepared—often distracted by his phone or arriving after lessons had started.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner repeatedly avoided showing working in algebra and fractions; messy layout made it hard for her to spot errors before they snowballed.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in East Gosford noticed a real shift in one high school student who had previously struggled to ask for help; this week, he not only admitted where he was stuck with his homework but also requested extra challenges to push himself further.

Another secondary student, after initially needing reminders on Pythagoras' Theorem, left the session able to explain the core concept back clearly—an area that had caused confusion before.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who tended to lose focus became noticeably faster at adding and subtracting decimals, managing most calculations independently by the end of her lesson.

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 Erina Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Patrick's Catholic Primary School.
