John

Physics 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 physics 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…

Physics Tutor Haywards Bay, NSW
Allow them to figure it out themselves. Giving them the answer is detrimental and they aren't actually learning. Providing clues, hints or simply even breaking questions down into sub questions allows them to approach concepts and questions more easily and break it down into manageable chunks. Being able to approach problems and issues from…

Physics Tutor Albion Park, NSW
A tutor must not only teach the student, but also be a mentor in terms of their academic growth, confidence, and overall approach to learning. This means helping students develop strong study habits, encouraging them to think critically, and supporting them through challenges so they can become independent and resilient learners. I provide…

Ahmad Fraz

Physics Tutor Koonawarra, NSW
When you're a physics tutor, students are like children to us. Nothing is more valuable than our children. Everything we do, every good aspect we think of still feel less for our children. That's how I see myself as a tutor As a tutor I feel I can connect with the students more deeply as I have been studying human psychology for a long period of…

Timothy

Physics Tutor Koonawarra, NSW
Be considerate, patient, understanding, and non-judgemental. It can be very hard to accept help in the first place, and being made to feel like you're failing or a burden is only going to make that harder. I work to understand how their mind works so I can explain in a way they will best understand. I am also very patient, particularly with those…

Local Reviews

We've seen such a positive change in our daughter's approach to maths since she started working with Tala. She was struggling and losing confidence in year 7, but Tala's been incredible at helping her understand the basics and build up from there. Our daughter now actually looks forward to her lessons and maths thanks to Tala.

Inside ShellharbourTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Molly revised the financial maths topic in preparation for a test, focusing on applying formulas to pay calculations and converting between hourly and weekly rates, then moved to exploring nervous system structure and brain lobes.

Year 10 student completed a session on trigonometry by practising the sine rule and solving area problems for non-right-angled triangles using worked examples.

For Year 11, Emma started Standard Maths with an introduction to compound interest calculations and discussed key syllabus points relevant to upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, exam stress led to mistakes in familiar content—"she lets her stress get the better of her," one tutor noted, which meant errors crept into algebra that she usually handled with ease.

During Year 7 trigonometry, skipping clear written steps and not labelling working made it harder to spot where calculations went wrong or to review answers later.

In a recent senior revision session, hesitation about making guesses slowed progress on unfamiliar problems; more time was spent waiting for confirmation than practicing reasoning through uncertainty.

When reading multi-step questions in financial maths, rushing led to misinterpreting key information and missing out on full marks.

Recent Achievements

One Shellharbour tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously struggled to show her working in maths now clearly lays out each step when tackling z-score problems, making fewer errors and checking her answers independently.

In Year 8 science, another student has started asking targeted questions about electron shells—last term she rarely spoke up, but now actively seeks clarification to close knowledge gaps.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner who used to skip over tricky geometry tasks recently applied earlier formula work to solve new area questions without prompting, finishing all ten problems accurately on her own.

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