English Tutor Saratoga, 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 Pearl Beach, NSW
I think the best thing an english tutor can do is make learning feel achievable. A big part of that is adapting to how each student learns, breaking things down in a way that makes sense to them, and giving them the confidence to tackle challenges on their own. Tutoring isn't just about getting through the syllabus, it's about showing students how…

English Tutor Gosford, NSW
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…

Carol

English Tutor Ettalong Beach, 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 Phegans BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Yillen focused on applying Pythagoras' Theorem in right-angled triangles and practiced finding perimeters and areas, using diagrams to clarify each step.

Year 9 student Mia worked through rearranging formulas to find unknown dimensions in area questions and calculated the areas of composite shapes by breaking them down into familiar figures.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ava reviewed trigonometry concepts for an upcoming test, including solving for unknown sides and angles using SOHCAHTOA and the Pythagorean theorem.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, as one tutor noted, "she needed reminders to write all her working out," especially when rearranging SOHCAHTOA equations—omitting steps made sign errors harder to spot and correct.

For a Year 11 student, forgotten calculators during lessons on tax calculations meant the session slowed down and key practice was missed.

A Year 10 lesson saw late arrival and distraction: "I had to almost give him 80% of the answers this lesson just to keep him engaged enough to try."

In English (Year 9), minimal written material limited feedback opportunities on essays using PETAL structure.

Recent Achievements

One Phegans Bay tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to hesitate when tackling homework—this week, he openly asked for help with school assignments and even requested extra challenging problems, something he'd avoided before.

In a high school session, another student who struggled with Pythagoras' Theorem picked up the foundations quickly and managed to solve several right-angle triangle questions independently by lesson's end.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who'd been quiet at first started confidently explaining her reasoning out loud after just a few sessions.

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 Umina Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Brisbane Water Secondary College Woy Woy Campus.
