English Tutor Bateau Bay, NSW
The most important thing an english tutor can do is give a student the confidence to continue to achieve and learn for themselves. If they can believe in themselves and keep working, they will succeed regardless of their level. I am personable and easy-going, able to meet the student where they need to be met. I have a genuine passion for…

Gemma

English Tutor Berkeley Vale, NSW
I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to not only understand where the student is at within their academics, but in their personal life as well. A student's schooling can be very stressful and there is a lot of pressure from others. My role would be to make sure that I am not pressuring them, and that we reward…

English Tutor Wyong, NSW
The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to understand the needs of their student and develop effective resources that work for THAT student. It is also important to recognise what kind of work load people are capable of handling so that you do not overwhelm them with tasks, as this would be counterproductive. So I guess,…

English Tutor Wyong, NSW
A tutor needs to be their every week and ontime. A tutor must plan lessons that meet the needs and goals of the student. A tutor must be able to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a student and plan the lesson and the program so the student can meet the learning needs of the student. Knowing the student. Assessing strengths and weaknesses…

Inside Long JettyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ben practised multiplication and division using different visual strategies and worked on understanding subtraction fundamentals.

In Year 11, Olivia focused on coordinate geometry and trigonometry by solving application questions with diagrams to support reasoning.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student James tackled Chemistry concepts like equilibrium and solubility product calculations alongside advanced Mathematics topics including integration techniques and probability scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Physics, a student's written responses became overly long and disorganized; as one tutor noted, "answers are way too extensive," making revision difficult.

In Year 8 Maths, a student struggled to start unfamiliar problems, often needing to reread the textbook before attempting questions.

Anxiety under timed conditions led another high schooler to lose focus during assessments.

For a Year 4 reading task, motivation dipped when tackling non-fiction texts—writing quickly resulted in spelling errors and missing key details.

During primary maths revision, not writing down working meant important steps were forgotten by the next session.

Recent Achievements

A Long Jetty tutor recently noticed Mohit, a high school student, shifting from quietly listening to actively asking questions whenever he's unsure—something he hesitated to do just weeks ago.

In Year 11 chemistry, he also started working out tough concepts on his own before checking with the tutor, showing much more independence than at the start of term.

Meanwhile, Amari in Year 5 moved past guessing through multiplication and now recites his 2 and 3 times tables smoothly without prompts.

Charlie, in early primary, read a full Dr Seuss book aloud after refusing longer stories last month.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Everything has gotten off to a great start.  Rose is lovely and is engaging Tyler.

We are very happy with Michael. He has built up a good rapport with Jonathan and myself, he always arrives with a plan and has thought about each session in advance. My son's confidence is growing each week. He has a math test next week even though it still is early days it might give us a understanding of how things are going.

Desiree and Hyolie have Got off to a great start. Hyolie is very professional, patient and shows Desiree the relevance of everything she teaches her.  Desiree feels very comfortable with her and I look forward to a continued relationship between the two of them. I would also highly recommend Hyolie to other students.

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 The Entrance Library & Council Services—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Primary School.
