Help students to help themselves by scaffolding their learning and building their confidence. Teaching students to approach a topic in a way that they can break it down into its constituent parts, developing a plan to address each task, and successfully completing it, step by step. I have had good feedback from students saying that I am…

I think the most important is to follow the students lead. They will often know their weaknesses and from spending time working with them, you can take note of possible areas of improvement. However, at the end of the day you are there to help the student so by listening and communicating effectively both parties will be satisfied. The ability to…

Help them gain confidence in their own intellectual capabilites across the board, not just in a specific subject. One of my major strengths is patience.

Some of the most important things a student can gain from having a tutor would be to build up their confidence in a certain subject, by providing specialised teaching and education for that specific student, to increase their understanding. A tutor would also provide a different perspective of difficult concepts, being seperated from the…

There are definitely many important things that a tutor can do for a student but in my opinion, the most important would have to be correcting the mistakes and wrongs.

I believe providing an environment in which the student is confident and motivated about what they are learning will help them achieve goals.

Help the student figure out their own study methods, as tutoring can only get you so far within an hour of time. The real magic is when the student can apply techniques outside of supervised study.

Local Reviews

David has done a fantastic job. He is brilliant with the girls who are usually very shy and timid.
Zoe, Coogee

Inside CoogeeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Chinnu worked on mastering times tables and explored the relationship between fractions, decimals, and percentages by graphing results.

For Year 10, Daniel reviewed parabolas and quadratic equations, focusing on both problem-solving strategies and pre-test revision.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah tackled matrices and vectors from her recent assessments, along with a targeted review of key topics that appeared in her test materials.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 mathematics, one student tended to do most calculations mentally, which led to missed steps and inconsistent results—"he needs a method that suits him but shows working," as a tutor observed.

In English (Year 7), another found it difficult to organize ideas on paper, resulting in long, confusing stories; focus drifted especially when writing dialogue or solving worded math problems.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student hesitated to communicate confusion in class and rarely asked for help, making persistent gaps harder to address before assessments. The silence lingered even after lessons ended.

Recent Achievements

One Coogee tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask for help; now, she's openly requesting clarification on tricky questions and working through problems independently.

Another high schooler, Harrison, moved from struggling to identify key features of parabolas in week one to confidently pinpointing them by week two—showing clear progress in understanding quadratics.

In primary sessions, Bander surprised his tutor by applying new creative writing techniques at home between lessons, showing initiative and ownership over his learning that wasn't there before.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you for your email. Ben and David are working well together and it appears that the working relationship is positive. Interestingly, Ben has instantly been able to move to working with David as both David and Ben have in common the same secondary school that Ben is currently going to. So while David attended the school some years prior to Ben, and much has change, they were still able to compare experiences about the school which helped start them working constructively. We are very satisfied with continuing with David.

Yes so far we are happy with Emma. The reason we want the tutoring is that I would like Stephanie to be extended in a similar way to that which coaching colleges follow ie they seem to follow the curriculum of selective schools. I would like Stephanie to have the same opportunity to be extended. Since the coaching colleges are inconvenient for us, we much prefer to have a tutor like Emma.

Tanay enjoys learning with Curtis which is a great thing so I am sure he will listen to what Curtis has to tell him.

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 Spearwood Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Coogee Primary School.
