Science Tutor Woronora Heights, NSW
Give guidance where needed and help them to enjoy learning instead of it feeling like a mundane task. I am a positive and motivating individual who has lots of experience in teaching children of all ages academically, and teaching how to swim. I have patience and the ability to adapt to suit the needs of the students and am able to keep them…

Science Tutor South Hurstville, NSW
One of the most important things a tutor can do is to support the student providing them confidence to tackle the task in front of them. Second to this I think is to provide them a roadmap of how to deal with a situation where they don't know the answer or the approach to the question. Teaching that not knowing the answer to the question is ok and…

Jaydens first lesson with Jusjit went very well.

Inside Port HackingTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Thomas explored addition and subtraction, practiced reading time on clocks, and identified common shapes.

In Year 8, Olivia revised angle relationships such as co-interior, alternate, and corresponding angles using diagrams, before moving to supplementary and complementary pairs.

For Year 10, Sophie focused on trigonometry—applying Pythagoras' Theorem to word problems and solving for unknowns in right-angled triangles.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 mathematics, a student often rushed through problem-solving, leading to missed steps—one tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

In Year 12 ancient history, another found that not collecting sources as she learned made it harder to recall evidence for essays later on.

For a Year 8 class, messy handwriting—"the number 8 can look like a 6"—caused confusion and calculation errors.

Meanwhile, in Year 5 maths, a reluctance to write out conversion methods resulted in repeated mistakes when switching between units.

Each habit led to avoidable setbacks during lessons or assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Port Hacking tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to get stuck on geometry questions—last session, he confidently combined methods to find missing angles and solved a multi-step problem using supplementary angles without needing hints.

In Year 11, Maiee has moved from just listing facts to connecting sources with essay questions and applying different historical perspectives when discussing conservation issues, something she previously found daunting.

A younger student who was hesitant about maths now asks for help as soon as she's unsure and surprised herself by finishing all ten addition problems without errors.

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 Caringbah Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Lilli Pilli Public School.
