English Tutor Saratoga, NSW
I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to make them feel proud and confident with themselves as well as being a supportive teacher. I know from experience that when you're struggling with a concept it is a very disheartening thing and can lead to self doubt and giving up. I think a tutor should help a student…

Offering them ways to easily comprehend subjects and topics, making subjects more enjoyable. I will try my very hardest to ensure my students feel that they are able to openly express their thoughts and to answer questions without the fear of judgement. I want my students to learn from their mistakes, and not be afraid to pick themselves back up…

English Tutor Umina Beach, NSW
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…

English Tutor
Personalise the experience. It is vital to get t know the student, their concerns, their best learning style. The pace and content of the sessions needs to be adapted to the student's ability to achieve confidence and competence. Deep experience and thorough up to date knowledge, empathy (I am a parent to Yr 11 & 12 boys, as well as a tutor),…

Local Reviews

Claudia is great. She went above and beyond in the first session spending almost 2 hours with Sasha. To quote Sasha -‘I learnt more in that one session than I have all year’! She also offered to assist Sasha via text or phone to help her with a test coming up this week.

Inside KillcareTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Zac focused on adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions—including working with mixed and improper fractions—and learned how to simplify results in calculations.

For Year 8, Yillen practiced using Pythagoras' Theorem to solve right-angled triangle problems and applied area formulas for various shapes, connecting these concepts with recent classwork.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Lily tackled algebraic expansion and factorisation as well as rearranging formulas, working through homework questions to consolidate her understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student left his notes and workbook at school, which meant he had no guidelines for revision—this made it harder to prepare for an unexpected exam.

"He didn't have a calculator handy," one tutor observed during a senior session, so some questions were missed or required extra help.

In upper high school, another student needed more home practice to master concepts but hadn't completed assigned work.

For a Year 4 lesson, forgetting key materials led to confusion when converting between time zones.

These moments slowed progress in class and increased reliance on tutors for reminders and support.

Recent Achievements

The tutor in Killcare observed that a high school student, after initially being shy and hesitant to answer, started speaking up during problem solving and now confidently tackles fraction questions without waiting for prompts.

Another older student has begun asking for more challenging homework on his own, a big shift from earlier sessions where he only completed what was set.

At the primary level, a younger student who previously needed encouragement with currency problems now draws her own diagrams to solve them and explains each step aloud while working through addition and subtraction tasks.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Justin has been such an asset to Connor, honestly, his confidence and understanding has improved with Justin's assistance. We are so greatful to yourselves and Justin for all the work and patience over the past couple of weeks.

Also, I would like to say that the tutor provided, Ray, was outstanding. A thorough gentleman, always professional, diligent, interested and concerned. Just a good decent young man on every front. I certainly believe that Ray deserves some acknowledgement and recognition, and that he set a standard in your organisation that would be hard to better, he is a great testament of quality that any organisation tries to deliver. We were always pleased to have him in our home and wish him all the very best in his future.

I also wanted to say Matthew has been absolutely fantastic, he has a great manner and is very patient.  Anja's maths has definitely improved. i suspect we will need a tutor again in the second half of next year hopefully Matthew is available then.  I will certainly recommend your service to others.   I also wanted to say thank you for all the fabulous resources you offer.

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.
