Be present and engaged in each lesson and ensure they thoroughly understand each topic before moving on. I would say my main strengths are patience and communication. When it comes to breaking down questions, it helps to work through things slowly and ensure understanding at each…

English Tutor Yattalunga, 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 Ourimbah, NSW
A tutor in my perspective must be flexible and must be willing to offer any form of support, I.e. helping solve problems, explain concepts in detail, clear misconceptions, etc. Also it is important always maintains a positive attitude and encourages students to learn more. I also think an english tutor should be able to provide their students with…

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),…

The most important things an english tutor can do for a student are to offer encouragement, build trust and provide clear explanations. It is essential that a safe space is created for the student to ask questions and make mistakes. This will ultimately allow students to effectively engage with the material provided by taking risks with their…

English Tutor Booker Bay, 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…

Inside GosfordTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Yillen worked on Pythagoras' Theorem, including its use in real-life problems and applying it to both right-angled and isosceles triangles, as well as practicing graphing coordinates to create triangles.

Year 9 student Chloe focused on trigonometry with SOHCAHTOA for finding unknown side lengths and angles, alongside revision of speed, distance, and time equations in preparation for an upcoming test.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Arielle tackled fractions—adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing with mixed denominators—and practiced converting units in measurement problems.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Maths, logging in late and frequent distractions during lessons meant that "almost 80% of answers had to be given just to keep him engaged."

This pattern also showed up when he forgot essential materials—one session, his calculator was missing, making it tough to complete Pi-related questions.

For a Year 7 English assignment, the student hesitated to begin writing, despite having ideas, because "he wanted more feedback before showing any draft," which slowed progress.

In one senior tutorial, losing track of time led to only two questions being attempted in an hour—leaving revision unfinished and confidence shaken.

Recent Achievements

One Gosford tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitating to ask for help, finally spoke up about struggling with homework and even requested extra tasks for more challenge.

In another session, a high schooler tackled Pythagoras' Theorem for the first time—despite knowing almost nothing at the start, he finished class confidently explaining how it worked.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who used to rush through problems now carefully double-checks her working on area and perimeter questions before moving on. Last week she solved compound shape problems independently for the first time.

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 Kariong Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Rumbalara Environmental Education Centre.
