Science Tutor Tumbi Umbi, NSW
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…

Science Tutor Shelly Beach, NSW
By first giving the student the necessary skills to complete a range of questions this equips them with the tools to complete any question. I then allow the student to make the mistake first and learn from it by helping them change what they did. This is then followed up with an example response to a question then the student is given the chance…

A tutor in my perspective must be flexible and must be willing to offer any form of support, I.e. helping solve problems, explain concepts in detail, clear misconceptions, etc. Also it is important always maintains a positive attitude and encourages students to learn more. I also think a tutor should be able to provide their students with the…

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…

I think that as a tutor you must listen to what your student needs and give that to them. Each student will learn differently so it is extremely important that as a tutor you tailor your teaching approach to that student and their needs in order for them to learn best. As I just left school in 2021 I have a good understanding of the pressures and…

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be encouraging and understanding. As a student it can be hard and that is the reason you are getting tutoring. So to have someone encourage you can be a great reason to keep learning. I think my strengths as a tutor would be my patience and communication skills, as they are…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is learning to adapt. Each students brain is wired completely different, and in school, there’s not always an opportunity to work one on one. So it’s crucial for a tutor to observe their students strengths and weaknesses, and use that to progress their learning. I am super patient…

A tutor's most important role, in my opinion, is using their passion for a subject to provide the student with confidence in the subject, and even inspiring this same passion in the student if it is not already there. I have 5+ years of teaching experience as a martial arts instructor, I am passionate about and skilled at the subjects I would like…

Gemma is awesome and can't sing her praises enough. My daughter understands things she didn't before. Thank you and happy to give you a 5 star review if that helps.

Inside Tumbi UmbiTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Alex practised surface area calculations and reviewed homework on perimeter using visual models.

For Year 10, Mia worked through probability questions and began exploring chemical equilibrium concepts with practice problems.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Lucas tackled Physics topics on electromagnetic induction, including the motor effect and Lenz's Law, breaking down AC generator functions with annotated diagrams.

Recent Challenges

In Year 5 maths, a student left fraction homework incomplete and was hesitant to attempt worded perimeter problems from the textbook.

One comment read, "he may need to improve checking his work as he mentioned he was prone to silly mistakes."

In senior physics, another student's notes were often messy and lacked structure, making revision difficult—especially when answer formatting was inconsistent in waves topics.

During timed tasks in Years 9–10 maths, anxiety led one student to lose focus and skip necessary proof-reading. In these moments, clarity and confidence slipped away just when they were needed most.

Recent Achievements

One Tumbi Umbi tutor noticed a Year 4 student who used to freeze on her 11 times tables above 10Ă—11 but, after learning the underlying pattern, confidently completed all questions when tested.

In high school science, Mohit has shifted from staying quiet during tricky physics concepts to actively asking questions whenever unsure—something he never did before.

Another secondary student recently beat her personal best in multiplication, scoring 20 out of 21 and rounding decimals independently, which was a big step up from last term's hesitations with multi-step problems.

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 Bateau Bay Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Killarney Vale Public School.
