Science Tutor Terrigal, NSW
Give the student the foundational skills to excel on the own once outside of tutoring. A good tutor will be able to get their student to a level where they feel competent to work by themselves, and know both how to solve a problem, and why we approach the problem the way we do. My strengths as a tutor is my relatability, as math didn’t come easy…

Science Tutor Wamberal, NSW
I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, adapt to their learning style, and create a safe space for questions and mistakes. It's not just about helping them understand the content. It’s about helping them believe they can understand it. A good tutor should be patient, encouraging, and…

I think the most important things a tutor can do are to build the student's confidence, explain concepts in a way that suits their learning style, and create a supportive environment where they feel comfortable asking questions. It's not just about giving them the answers, it's about helping them understand the process so they can become…

We have had great improvement with Samuel from the very first lesson. He has changed my son Thomas's attitude and application to his studies. Thank you SAM.

Inside TerrigalTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Olivia tackled area of rectangles and triangles, including breaking down complex shapes into simpler parts to calculate total area.

Year 7 Zac worked through operations with fractions—adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing—as well as understanding mixed and improper fractions in word problems.

For Year 10, Sarah focused on algebraic skills by practicing factorising and expanding expressions using a range of example problems.

Recent Challenges

Persistent issues with focus and reluctance to attempt set homework meant "it was difficult to get her back on track" and slowed progress through key concepts for a Year 8 student.

In Year 9, messy and scattered working in graphing tasks made errors harder to spot, with one tutor observing, "her working out was in three different parts of the page."

A senior student tackling HSC maths sometimes left numbers misaligned when setting out work, leading to calculation mistakes that interrupted problem-solving flow.

When attention drifted during lessons, basic operations took longer and foundational skills couldn't be consolidated.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Terrigal noticed that Olivia, a high school student, now independently applies area formulas to complex shapes and consistently writes out her working, after previously forgetting key steps.

In another session, Keeley—a senior—has moved from struggling with equations to manipulating them more confidently and can now identify gradient and y-intercept without prompting.

For a younger student, Charlie was reluctant to read higher-level stories at first but recently sat down to read several pages on his own after some encouragement. At the end of that lesson, he even picked up a book unprompted and read for a few minutes independently.

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