I believe the most important things I can do as a tutor for my students is to to make them feel like they can do anything that they struggle with. It is important that students are able to express what they struggle with without the fear of being judged or humiliated. They need to know that just because they're struggling with something does not…

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…

Tutor Terrigal, NSW
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…

Tutor Narara, NSW
The most important things a tutor can do for a student are to offer encouragement, build trust and provide clear explanations. It is essential that a safe space is created for the student to ask questions and make mistakes. This will ultimately allow students to effectively engage with the material provided by taking risks with their learning. I…

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.
