Science Tutor Booker Bay, 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 Umina Beach, NSW
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is show genuine care for the student's learning. Additionally, having a passion for teaching is vital, because with no passion and care, the tutoring interactions with the student are inauthentic. My greatest strength as a tutor is being able to change the way I explain a concept so…

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…

Tutor has to be completely sure that students understood all provided information very clear. This gives them filling of confidence, happiness, and satisfaction. I can explain the information in different simple understandable ways. When I studied Diploma in Building and Construction in TAFE, we had subject which called structure. I could explain…

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 Green Point, NSW
I believe that tutors should provide all-round mentorship to students and that this is one of the most important things that can come of tutoring; helping them to feel more confident in approaching problems they have in their everyday lives and to search for the answers to the questions that they have about the world around them. I am very patient…

Hannah has been with us just a few lessons and already my daughter who is in Year 9 is becoming confident in her understanding of maths. Thanks Hannah!

Inside Box HeadTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Zac practised multiplying fractions by integers and converting between improper fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals.

For Year 8, Jessica focused on rearranging formulas to change the subject and substituted values into equations to solve for unknowns.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Sarah worked through using trigonometry (including SOHCAHTOA) to find unknown angles in right-angled triangles and applied the Pythagorean theorem in various questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, one student avoided writing out working for equation rearrangement—"she just says the answer aloud," as a tutor noted—which led to missed sign changes and confusion with negatives.

A Year 11 trigonometry lesson saw another learner rely on memory instead of referencing formula sheets during practice; this caused hesitation when faced with multi-step bearings questions.

Meanwhile, in Year 4, incomplete homework on clock models meant time concepts were shaky in class and left her guessing during money problem tasks.

In senior years, forgetting to bring calculators or worksheets resulted in lost lesson time searching for alternatives.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Box Head noticed a big change with one Year 8 student who used to freeze up during problem-solving but now speaks up more and works through tricky fraction questions aloud, showing real initiative compared to last term.

In a recent high school session, another student who struggled with rearranging formulas began choosing the right formula independently when tackling geometry problems—a first for her.

For a younger learner, there's been a subtle shift: she now draws out currency diagrams herself before starting worded addition questions, rather than waiting for prompts or hints from the tutor.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Deepti has been tutoring my daughter for 1 year now. I am so happy with the difference it has made to my daughters understanding of a subject that she was very behind in and I was very concerned.

Shruti helped me so much in my yr 12 studies as a school friend. She is extremely intelligent and has a lot of patience. Shruti gave me the skills and confidence in my learning and allowed me to succeed in yr 12. Shruti is like a big sister to me, I highly recommend everyone to choose her as a tutor.

Everything is going very well, thank you very much, we are very happy with the tutoring Harshdeep is providing to Manon, he is very thorough.

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 Pretty Beach Public School.
