Science Tutor Gosford, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is giving them confidence that they can learn. This will give them confidence to try and be creative in finding ways to understand any complex topic they need to know. One of my strengths as a tutor is that I am creative in discussing complex topics. I can discuss the same topic in different…

Help them enjoy learning. The role of a tutor should be to engage the student and make the learning process fun, encouraging them to put more effort into their learning, consequently improving their results. As well as this, it is vital that a tutor guide the student to a solution rather than simply giving them the answer, allowing them to…

Science Tutor Ettalong Beach, NSW
Implement creativity and a willingness to try is the most important skill a tutor can pass on to their students. Once a student builds a willingness to try and a need to challenge themselves, they will be more likely to build good habits and routines around creating these pathways for themselves. I always ask myself 'how do students learn' and…

Science Tutor Woy Woy, NSW
I think that whilst having adaptive teaching methods is important, ensuring the student constantly feels supported and motivated by the tutor is vital. For me, in school no matter how much I was struggling (especially in maths) I found that having a great, understanding teacher, allowed me to not be afraid of asking ‘stupid’ questions. So for…

Science Tutor Booker Bay, 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…

The best and coolest tutor!!! Miles is a kind and a brilliant young man that has made math not a scary unknown factor for our son. Our son is looking forwards to his tutoring. Very grateful. Thanks Miles!!

Inside West GosfordTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Yillen focused on Pythagoras' Theorem in right-angled and isosceles triangles, applying formulas to real-life questions and graphing triangle coordinates; he also worked through volume and surface area of shapes with practice on connecting these skills to measurement.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Chloe practiced using SOHCAHTOA for trigonometry problems to find unknown sides and angles, as well as revising equations for speed, distance, and time from her upcoming test.

In Year 6, Arielle improved adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions with different denominators—using mixed numbers—and worked on converting between units during problem solving.

Recent Challenges

During recent tutorials, a Year 9 student repeatedly left his calculator at home or misplaced it ("he mentioned it might be under his bed"), which slowed progress in topics like Pi and surface area—often leaving him reliant on the tutor for basic calculations.

In Year 10 English, requests for more written material and feedback went unmet; when essay tasks came up, "student wants practice on spelling," but draft work was rarely produced for review.

A senior student's late logins and phone use during lessons resulted in missed instructions and required frequent redirection to keep him engaged with algebraic rearrangements.

Recent Achievements

One West Gosford tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who, after struggling with Pythagoras' Theorem, now explains each step back confidently and even completed his latest homework sheet almost perfectly.

In Year 8, a student who used to wait for answers began asking for more challenging problems and openly requested help when stuck—a huge change from just guessing before.

Meanwhile, in primary school, Arielle surprised her tutor by independently applying fraction skills to new word problems once she'd seen the pattern. Last session, she chose to solve perimeter questions without any hints.

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