The most important things for a tutor to do is to help a student strengthen their own ability to learn independantly. It is far more important that a student understands the learning process and what works best for them rather than simply memorise a single topic. Having transferable skills as a student and being able to apply their knowledge to…

Science Tutor Shell Cove, NSW
I believe a 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 clients…

Science 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…

Science Tutor Barrack Heights, NSW
Effective tutoring involves understanding students' needs, providing clear explanations, fostering confidence, offering support, and promoting critical thinking. This creates a supportive environment for learning and growth. As a tutor, one of my strengths is being able to explain concepts in various ways until the student fully understands. I'm…

A good tutor helps a student feel confident and curious. They make tough subjects easy and fun to understand. They are patient, adapt to students' needs, and always encourage them to do their best. I am good at understanding different ways people learn and making complex topics easy to grasp. I am patient and know my subjects well, which helps me…

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

Stella is fantastic and Alex's maths grades went from D to B with Stella so we are very grateful. I am keen for her to continue because she was doing very well with Stella.

Dorcas was brilliant. Proactive, organised with a genuine interest in Yasmin's learning. Dorcas went over and above what was required of her and for that I am very grateful. Your company has always been professional and understanding also, no complaints there whatsoever. Thank you for following up with us and perhaps another time in the future we may need your services, I wouldn't go anywhere else to find a tutor.

Thanks for your e-mail follow up! All is going well thank you with Serenity-Mae's tutorials. It has been a positive experience for her which is great!

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.
