English Tutor Saratoga, NSW
I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to make them feel proud and confident with themselves as well as being a supportive teacher. I know from experience that when you're struggling with a concept it is a very disheartening thing and can lead to self doubt and giving up. I think a tutor should help a student…

English Tutor Point Clare, NSW
Be kind and patient, and be able to adjust learning plans for the student. I am that I am a compassionate person who believes in the potential of all people. Nobody is unable to succeed, they just might require different solutions to the same struggle. I also believe myself to be good at breaking down topics, as I did this multiple times for my…

English Tutor Pearl Beach, NSW
I think the best thing an english tutor can do is make learning feel achievable. A big part of that is adapting to how each student learns, breaking things down in a way that makes sense to them, and giving them the confidence to tackle challenges on their own. Tutoring isn't just about getting through the syllabus, it's about showing students how…

English Tutor Gosford, NSW
Be present and engaged in each lesson and ensure they thoroughly understand each topic before moving on. I would say my main strengths are patience and communication. When it comes to breaking down questions, it helps to work through things slowly and ensure understanding at each…

English Tutor Avoca Beach, NSW
Personalise the experience. It is vital to get t know the student, their concerns, their best learning style. The pace and content of the sessions needs to be adapted to the student's ability to achieve confidence and competence. Deep experience and thorough up to date knowledge, empathy (I am a parent to Yr 11 & 12 boys, as well as a tutor),…

English 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…

Help them to improve their abilities in areas they are not so confident in. Be there for them as a mentor as well as a teacher. I am organised and work well with others. I also have a good grasp of the subject. Sometimes I pay too much attention to small…

English Tutor Wyoming, NSW
The most important things an english 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…

Jasmine and Bianca are the perfect combination. Bianca and I are so so happy with Jasmine and even after the first lesson Bianca is so motivated and enthusiastic about her improvement.

Inside Woy WoyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Yillen focused on dividing fractions and applying operations with mixed fractions, using worksheets to reinforce these skills.

In Year 9, Emma worked through finding unknown angles in right-angled triangles using both the Pythagorean theorem and SOHCAHTOA, practicing with her homework questions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Alex tackled rearranging formulae to change the subject and substituted values into equations for problem-solving practice.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student was late to multiple online tutorials, often distracted by their phone or other devices—one session began with "Yillen was 12 minutes late and was not focused at all," forcing the tutor to supply most answers just to maintain engagement.

In a Year 11 maths lesson, leaving notes and schoolwork at school meant no materials for revision; as the tutor noted, this left them "without any guidelines for revision."

A senior student working on trigonometry regularly relied on mental calculations instead of writing out steps, which led to confusion with rearranging equations.

Time management issues surfaced in a recent session when only a few questions were attempted before the hour ended.

Recent Achievements

One Woy Woy tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask for help now openly requests extra homework and challenges himself, showing real initiative compared to his earlier reluctance.

In another high school session, a student who struggled with Pythagoras' Theorem managed to complete problems independently after just one lesson and could explain each step without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who often waited for guidance started answering questions unassisted by the end of the lesson—tackling new problems before they were even explained.

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