Science Tutor Shelly Beach, NSW
By first giving the student the necessary skills to complete a range of questions this equips them with the tools to complete any question. I then allow the student to make the mistake first and learn from it by helping them change what they did. This is then followed up with an example response to a question then the student is given the chance…

I think that as a tutor you must listen to what your student needs and give that to them. Each student will learn differently so it is extremely important that as a tutor you tailor your teaching approach to that student and their needs in order for them to learn best. As I just left school in 2021 I have a good understanding of the pressures and…

Paul

Science Tutor Shelly Beach, NSW
I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be encouraging and understanding. As a student it can be hard and that is the reason you are getting tutoring. So to have someone encourage you can be a great reason to keep learning. I think my strengths as a tutor would be my patience and communication skills, as they are…

Patrick

Science Tutor Bateau Bay, NSW
The most important thing a 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 mathematics and…

Su is a wonderful tutor and most helpful! I enjoy our sessions and eager to learn more from her.

Inside Shelly BeachTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ben practised the 2, 3, and 4 times tables alongside building confidence with subtraction fundamentals using visual methods.

In Year 11, Sarah worked through coordinate geometry and trigonometry problems, focusing on applying formulas to find unknowns in triangles.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student James tackled organic chemistry reaction pathways and polymer structures by drawing molecular diagrams and discussing real-world applications.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Physics, messy written work made it difficult for one student to revise—"he needs to be more succinct and make his work neater to make it easier for him to look back and revise if needed."

In Year 11, a student often phrased questions too vaguely during revision sessions; this habit led to misunderstandings when seeking feedback or clarification.

For a Year 4 English lesson, forgetting words unless they were written down meant progress stalled with new spelling patterns.

During senior science tasks, skipping proofreading left several unclear responses uncorrected before submission.

Recent Achievements

One Shelly Beach tutor noticed Mohit, a Year 11 student, shifting from quietly listening to actively asking questions whenever he's unsure—something he'd previously hesitated to do. In a recent session, he even worked out a tricky chemistry proof on his own after struggling with similar problems last term.

Meanwhile, Amari in Year 5 has moved beyond simply reciting times tables; he now confidently explains the logic behind multiplying by twos and threes, showing deeper understanding rather than just memorisation.

With Charlie in Year 3, reading time is no longer met with reluctance—he chose to write haikus for fun and eagerly picked up new phonics rules during their last lesson.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Oh, we're very happy! Sup is a delight. Seb will, I expect be back up to average in no time and we may well then look at Sup for our 7yo, when Seb finishes. Seb is only slightly below average and at a selective school, so there's not much work to be done, but, Sup really is great.

Thanks for checking. Hendrik thinks Jacob is "cool" and is very positive about the tutoring. We are definitely going ahead.

Matthew is very happy with Anthony.  From the first day with Anthony, Matt realised what a great help Anthony will be with his better understanding of his studies in maths. Thank you for you help.

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 Bateau Bay Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Primary School.
