Biology Tutor North Wollongong, NSW
I believe coming prepared to lessons is the most important thing I can do for my students, so I will always have a lesson plan and teaching aids. I will also come with tools to keep track of my student's progress to have an idea of what level my student is at and tailor my lessons towards their needs and goals. I also like to give my students a…

I believe that building trust and a strong line of communication between a student and their tutor is important. Tutors should strive to encourage, motivate, and support their students. Having grown up with a sibling with a learning disability, I have strongly developed patience, active listening skills, and the ability to read body language and…

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…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make themselves welcoming. A good and effective tutor is open to all ideas and willing to completely work with the student. The most effective tutors will offer a variety of perspectives and welcome all criticism and differing opinions. During school, I struggled with breaking down tasks,…

Personally, a tutor is someone outside of school who the student can rely on for their studies. Students show their vulnerability here so that tutor can build them to be strong at school. So a tutor can help the student be strong on their subjects and understand the subject with life. Understanding the student on what they need first and being…

I think a tutor should provide a fun, engaging and different approach to studying. A tutor should ask questions in a way a teacher hasn't got the time to do. They should always ask what the student wants and implement strategies as to how to attain these goals. But, perhaps at the forefront of responsibility, a tutor should always make sure the…

Being available for your students is the most significant thing any tutor can do. Just being available alone is not the thing, you must also be able to communicate with them in order to understand where they are facing difficulties while learning. Understand their problems and provide the best solution for them to catch things better. A single…

The responsibilities of a tutor extend far beyond just teaching their students. We must act as positive role models who encourage personal growth and confidence, making students feel self-assured in their academic performance. No matter what challenges a student encounters, tutors must be an anchor that compels them to get back up and triumph over…

Tutors are there to solidify the concepts that the student has already learned and to ensure that these concepts are understood in the way they work and interact with other aspects of the subject.

We are really happy with Sophia, she's a great role model and helped my daughter's confidence and understanding of maths improve.

Inside Mount KeiraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Emily revised addition and subtraction of fractions using visual aids, and practised converting between fractions and decimals.

Year 9 student Olivia worked through trigonometric relations, focusing on solving for unknown sides and angles in right-angled triangles as well as simplifying expressions involving sin(x) and cos(x).

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Liam focused on factorisation of quadratics and completed take-home assessment preparation by breaking down worded problems into algebraic equations.

Recent Challenges

Inconsistent back-checking on worded maths problems led to repeated errors in simpler content for a Year 10 student; as the tutor noted, "back checking was inconsistent leading to a few mistakes."

A Year 8 English student's paragraphs were disorganised and relied heavily on familiar phrases, making arguments harder to follow and less convincing.

A Year 3 learner avoided showing workings for basic multiplication and time calculations, often getting stuck when asked to explain reasoning aloud.

A senior student hesitated to attempt unfamiliar coordinate geometry questions without support, slowing their progress through exam-style tasks.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mount Keira noticed Remy, a high school student, now asks clarifying questions whenever he's unsure—whereas he previously hesitated and often pressed on without checking his understanding.

In English, Sebastien has shifted from repeating phrases in essays to purposefully editing for concise language after realising the impact of varied vocabulary; this was a big change from earlier drafts that were unfocused.

Meanwhile, Emily (Year 7) used to struggle with adding fractions but recently completed multi-fraction problems independently and even tackled algebraic expressions ahead of her class content.

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 Mobile Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Keira Public School.
