English Tutor Gorokan, NSW
The most important thing you can do for a student (other than teaching them the things they are struggling with) is letting them know they aren't as "stupid" as they may feel. So many students enter tutoring frustrated, upset and not wanting to be there because they believe that they are "stupider" or "dumber" than their friends because "well my…

Support and patience. Trying to force too many things at once can only frustrate somebody attempting to better themselves, following a pace the student is best learning at is crucial. Frustration and not grasping an idea or a concept can lead to giving up, which is why support and again patience are key. I'm reliable, patient and easy to talk to.…

English Tutor Woongarrah, NSW
I believe the most important thing is to have a routine, be reliable, and to have the student be a part of every decision in their learning. My time with a student is not about a test or exam. It is about creating the skills for a student to be able to improve as they move through school and beyond. This is something that is going to be…

English Tutor Wyong, NSW
A tutor needs to be their every week and ontime. A tutor must plan lessons that meet the needs and goals of the student. A tutor must be able to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a student and plan the lesson and the program so the student can meet the learning needs of the student. Knowing the student.

English Tutor Wyong, NSW
The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to understand the needs of their student and develop effective resources that work for THAT student. It is also important to recognise what kind of work load people are capable of handling so that you do not overwhelm them with tasks, as this would be counterproductive. So I guess,…

Inside GorokanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Sam worked on converting fractions to decimals and multiplying fractions, using visual models for better understanding.

In Year 8, Lily practiced graphing linear and non-linear equations as well as calculating the mean and median from sets of data.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Tom focused on revising arithmetic and geometric series alongside transformations of graphs in preparation for upcoming exams.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student avoided writing full working for algebraic multiplication, leading to confusion with negative signs—he skipped showing steps in expanding brackets, which hid sign errors.

In Year 11, a senior found it hard to choose the right formula during trigonometry revision and left some questions incomplete.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner struggled to recall times tables during word problems; hesitation here slowed progress on fractions.

In Year 10, one student missed opportunities to apply feedback on parabolic graphs and continued making similar plotting errors in later exercises.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Gorokan noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who used to hesitate during problem solving but now jumps into questions and openly explains each step out loud, especially when tackling quadratic equations.

In Year 11 maths, one student had previously struggled to identify the first term and rate in arithmetic series, but after some targeted work can now quickly spot both on her own and check her answers independently.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who often guessed at times tables started using skip counting strategies for multiplication instead of guessing, finishing all ten problems without errors this week.

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 Lake Haven Library & Council Services—or at your child's school (with permission), like Gorokan Public School.
