Personally, I believe that in order to be a good tutor it is necessary to provide a level of support that feels as if it extends beyond the obligation that the position you hold is your job. I believe it is crucial to possess a genuine understanding for the strengths and flaws of your students in order to properly and efficiently deliver supoort…

English Tutor Newport, NSW
I think an english tutor, or any teacher, can honestly make or break a subject. As a tutor, I want to be able to make a student fall in love with what they are teaching them, rather than them seeing going to tutoring as a chore. I find my biggest strength to be that I get along well with younger kids and other people in general. I am very patient,…

A student might not get enough one-on-one time with a classroom teacher in a regular classroom setting. Tutors can complement the traditional school setting by providing assistance, clarification, deeper scaffolding and…

Tutors should be willing to listen and work well with students to achieve their personal goals. Tutors must foster or inspire a strong work ethic within students, motivating them to strive to reach their personal best. Aside from increasing a student's comprehension of particular subjects, tutors should highlight the importance of speaking up and…

I understand that some kids may not be as quick as others and I…

Inside Elvina BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Max reviewed linear relationships and practiced constructing graphs from tables and points.

For Year 12, Sarah focused on financial mathematics, tackling HSC sample questions on simple and compound interest as well as depreciation.

Meanwhile, Olivia (Year 12) worked through exam revision using past HSC trial papers, with a particular focus on normal distribution problems and strategies for continuous probability distributions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 mathematics, one student was encouraged to "practice without notes," but consistently reached for the formula sheet instead of recalling key steps independently during complex normal distribution problems.

In a Year 9 algebra session, messy working and skipping layout made it hard to track sign errors—"missed details in the question led to wrong answers," as one tutor observed.

A senior student practicing under timed exam conditions tended to focus only on familiar question types, avoiding tougher unfamiliar variations and missing out on building confidence for actual assessment scenarios.

Recent Achievements

One Elvina Bay tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to rush through algebra and make repeated errors—now, after focused sessions, she shows real patience working through problems step by step and even uses her improved skills on harder questions without prompting.

Another high schooler came to a recent session with specific questions already prepared, rather than waiting passively; this new initiative helped him quickly master tricky differentiation topics he'd struggled with last term.

A Year 5 student who once forgot key techniques is now recalling content from previous weeks and confidently applying it to new problems.

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 Mona Vale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Luke's Grammar School, Bayview Campus.
