Science Tutor Cordeaux Heights, NSW
A tutor shouldn’t just repeat what a students been taught by their teacher. I believe it’s important a tutor listens to their student and understands the areas they struggle in and need help with, and to further understand how that student learns as everyone learns in different ways. A tutor that understands their student will be capable of…

Science Tutor North Wollongong, NSW
I believe that the most important things as a tutor can do for a student are to provide individualized attention, foster a positive learning environment, and instill confidence in the students ability to succeed. By taking the time to understand each students unique strengths, weaknesses, and learning style, a tutor can tailor their teaching…

Science Tutor Wollongong, 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…

Science Tutor Woonona, NSW
The most important thing for a tutor to be able to do is to help the student develop their own abilities, and give them study habits and practices in class that will help the student to deepen their understanding of the underlying principles being taught. A tutor must also be able to communicate with the student and explain problems in a way that…

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.
