English Tutor Shell Cove, NSW
I believe an english tutor should be a role model. Where they should embody not only the study skills they teach but also be honest, patient and a motivator, all whilst being professional. Through this a student can grow both academically and as a person allowing them to reap the rewards more deeply. A tutors role is to listen and provide their…

English Tutor Flinders, NSW
Listen to them, let them teach you about themselves, let them have a go and try things and trial and error. No matter how many times they get it wrong they will always learn more by putting the effort in rather than just being given the answer. Also find out what techniques help them learn best, some students can pick up things in different ways…

Inside DunmoreTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Grace worked on area of composite shapes and basic trigonometry, using diagrams to help break down complex problems.

In Year 10, Daniel focused on algebra basics and completed a pre-test to review his understanding ahead of new classwork.

For Year 11, Emily revised compound interest calculations as part of financial maths and practised applying formulas to real-world scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student often wrote answers without structuring working out, which made it difficult to spot calculation errors—"setting out her working out with clear headings and steps" was a consistent need.

In Year 11 trigonometry, not labeling diagrams or reading questions fully led to confusion about which rule to use, as one note put it: "just needs to read worded questions carefully, especially trig (when drawing a triangle from words)."

A Year 8 algebra session saw mistakes with negatives when each step wasn't shown; extra time went into correcting these rather than building confidence.

Recent Achievements

In Dunmore, a Year 11 student who had previously struggled with equations involving fractions is now working through these independently, showing clear improvement in both speed and accuracy.

Another high schooler recently completed a challenging trigonometry question from a past HSC paper on her own. Just weeks ago, she needed step-by-step guidance for similar problems.

In a Year 8 session, a student who used to rush and skip steps is now carefully setting out their working, resulting in fewer errors and greater confidence tackling two-step equations without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Rohini had really got Alex over the line and has boosted her confidence greatly. Instead of a low D she is now a mid range B and is feeling a lot happier.

Tutor sessions with Hamish has been good. Tevita advised he feels a lot more confident with his maths. Sessions with Hamish have definitely been beneficial for Tevita leading up to his Exam, which was today.

The tutoring is going well. Amy has told me that she is already understanding more and it's helping.

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 Shellharbour Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Shellharbour Anglican College.
