Although my goal is to see them be at the top of their class, it is more important to see improvements in their tutor lessons and use the knowledge I give them at school to refine their skills I am very easy going and I have a lot of patience. So I am good with kids that are struggling to understand. I use the 4 predominant learning styles:…

The most important things for a tutor to do is to help a student strengthen their own ability to learn independantly. It is far more important that a student understands the learning process and what works best for them rather than simply memorise a single topic. Having transferable skills as a student and being able to apply their knowledge to…

I believe a tutor should be a role model. Where they should embody not only the study skills they teach but also be honest, patient and a motivator, all whilst being professional. Through this a student can grow both academically and as a person allowing them to reap the rewards more deeply. A tutors role is to listen and provide their clients…

Science Tutor Oak Flats, NSW
I always find people learn best when they're comfortable and truly believe they can master the concept. Therefore, I would say the most important thing for a tutor is to build a mutual respect with their student. From there encouragement, communication, and teaching is much easier. Although I have a good knowledge off mathematics and the sciences,…

Science Tutor Flinders, NSW
Listen to them, let them teach you about themselves, let them have a go and try things and trial and error. No matter how many times they get it wrong they will always learn more by putting the effort in rather than just being given the answer. Also find out what techniques help them learn best, some students can pick up things in different ways…

Effective tutoring involves understanding students' needs, providing clear explanations, fostering confidence, offering support, and promoting critical thinking. This creates a supportive environment for learning and growth. As a tutor, one of my strengths is being able to explain concepts in various ways until the student fully understands. I'm…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is build a student’s confidence. It’s not just about helping them get the right answer, but helping them believe they’re capable of getting there on their own. A tutor should also create a supportive environment where the student feels safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn at…

A good tutor helps a student feel confident and curious. They make tough subjects easy and fun to understand. They are patient, adapt to students' needs, and always encourage them to do their best. I am good at understanding different ways people learn and making complex topics easy to grasp. I am patient and know my subjects well, which helps me…

I'm very happy with Lenin. No complaints whatsoever. He knows what exams are coming up and helping our son with the material so that he can face them with confidence.

Inside MinnamurraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Lily revised algebra basics and solved two-step equations, using **worked examples to clarify each step**.

In Year 10, Ben completed a pre-test on surds and practised **simplifying expressions from his classwork**.

For Year 11, Mia focused on financial maths topics including tax and wages, applying **real-life scenarios to consolidate her understanding of pay calculations and deductions**.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student repeatedly avoided setting out working in algebra clearly—"he skipped steps, so small sign errors weren't caught," one tutor observed. This led to extra time spent searching for mistakes rather than understanding the method.

A Year 10 student tackling trigonometry struggled with worded problems, often rushing through reading without underlining key details, which meant incorrect triangles were drawn from the start.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student hesitated to label each step when solving financial maths questions; as a result, the final answers sometimes didn't match what was being asked.

Recent Achievements

A Minnamurra tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to skip steps in her working now consistently lays out her calculations clearly when tackling z-score problems.

In a high school session, another student who had struggled with finance topics surprised herself by not only remembering key equations but also explaining them back during practice questions.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who previously hesitated to attempt worded maths problems has started reading each question aloud before confidently solving them one step at a time, finishing an entire worksheet without needing prompts.

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