English Tutor Ettalong Beach, NSW
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…

English Tutor Pearl Beach, NSW
I think the best thing an english tutor can do is make learning feel achievable. A big part of that is adapting to how each student learns, breaking things down in a way that makes sense to them, and giving them the confidence to tackle challenges on their own. Tutoring isn't just about getting through the syllabus, it's about showing students how…

English Tutor Saratoga, NSW
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…

English Tutor Point Clare, NSW
Be kind and patient, and be able to adjust learning plans for the student. I am that I am a compassionate person who believes in the potential of all people. Nobody is unable to succeed, they just might require different solutions to the same struggle. I also believe myself to be good at breaking down topics, as I did this multiple times for my…

English Tutor Avoca Beach, NSW
Personalise the experience. It is vital to get t know the student, their concerns, their best learning style. The pace and content of the sessions needs to be adapted to the student's ability to achieve confidence and competence. Deep experience and thorough up to date knowledge, empathy (I am a parent to Yr 11 & 12 boys, as well as a tutor),…

Help them to improve their abilities in areas they are not so confident in. Be there for them as a mentor as well as a teacher. I am organised and work well with others. I also have a good grasp of the subject. Sometimes I pay too much attention to small…

Inside Ettalong BeachTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Olivia practised multiplying fractions by whole numbers and converting between improper fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals.

For Year 8, Ethan focused on rearranging formulae to change the subject and substituting values into equations during homework review.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ava tackled questions involving area by rearranging formulas to find missing dimensions and calculating areas of composite shapes using diagrams for clarification.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student often left their calculator at home during algebra and Pythagoras revision, which slowed down practice with Pi and decimals; as one tutor put it, "I had to calculate a few questions for him as he didn't have a calculator handy."

In Year 11, another student arrived late and was frequently distracted—phone notifications interrupted focus, leading to missed instructions in trigonometry tasks.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student sometimes avoided showing full working when rearranging equations or solving worded problems, making it harder to spot sign errors or give targeted feedback. This meant confusion lingered into the next session.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Ettalong Beach noticed a big change in a Year 9 student who used to hesitate when stuck—this week, he openly asked for help on his homework and even requested extra questions to challenge himself.

A Year 11 student, after struggling with Pythagoras' Theorem last lesson, was able to solve problems independently by the end of the session and explained each step without prompting.

In primary years, one student who previously mixed up odd and even numbers now quickly identifies them and compares fractions accurately during practice games.

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