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 Warilla, NSW
As mentioned above, it is extremely important for tutors to enjoy the content they are teaching. These attitudes are projected onto the willingness of students to engage with the subject. In addition to this, it is important for tutors to create and maintain relationships with their students that emulate trust and belief in their abilities. A…

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…

English Tutor Albion Park, NSW
As someone who has personally had an english tutor in recent years, I understand the most important things a tutor can do for a student is being patient and understanding. Being able to adapt learning styles and being flexible with each child's different pace, is an important aspect of tutoring. I will put in lots of hard work to constantly…

Although my goal is to see them be at the top of their class, it is more important to see improvements in their tutor lessons and use the knowledge I give them at school to refine their skills I am very easy going and I have a lot of patience. So I am good with kids that are struggling to understand. I use the 4 predominant learning styles:…

I just wanted to let you know how much our daughter benefited from having Hannah tutoring her even though it was only for a short time!I only wish we had found her earlier.

Inside Kiama DownsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ava practised solving two-step equations and factorising basic algebraic expressions.

In Year 10, Mia worked through trigonometry concepts such as the sine rule and calculated the area of non-right-angled triangles, using visual diagrams to reinforce understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sam focused on compound interest calculations and began reviewing key elements from the standard mathematics syllabus in preparation for assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra sessions, one student's tendency to skip writing full steps—"needs to write down every step of working out to limit mistakes" led to hidden sign errors and extra time spent retracing calculations.

A Year 10 learner tackling trigonometry struggled when diagrams were too small or unlabeled, making it harder to apply SOH CAH TOA correctly.

In Year 11 financial maths, missing clear labels in multi-step problems caused confusion about which value belonged where. As a tutor put it: "She needs to set out her working clearly so the marker can understand her thought process."

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Kiama Downs noticed a Year 9 student who used to struggle with equations involving fractions now solves them more confidently, catching fewer errors and finishing set questions independently.

In a recent session with a senior student, the tutor saw her pick up z-scores quickly—she now clearly shows her working step by step, which was missing before.

Meanwhile, one of the younger students has begun self-correcting mistakes during algebra practice instead of waiting for prompts; last lesson she spotted and fixed two errors on her own while completing all assigned problems.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Sam has been a fantastic tutor for Annalise, she has improved and was very proud of her end of year results at school.

Yes we are very happy with Alexander , Ruby is a hard task master but seems very comfortable with him and happy for him to keep coming back each week.

Connor has improved so much this year, his confidence, organization & overall results have come from a C to a A. I'm not going to do any tutoring through the holidays or for next year as I'm prepared for Connor to put everything into practice and hope that he can maintain his results without the tutoring. I have been happy with Ezymathtutoring and if Connor was to start to struggle again I know where to come.

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