English Tutor Hamlyn Terrace, NSW
I believe the most important thing is to have a routine, be reliable, and to have the student be a part of every decision in their learning. My time with a student is not about a test or exam. It is about creating the skills for a student to be able to improve as they move through school and beyond. This is something that is going to be…

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,…

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…

English Tutor Gorokan, NSW
Support and patience. Trying to force too many things at once can only frustrate somebody attempting to better themselves, following a pace the student is best learning at is crucial. Frustration and not grasping an idea or a concept can lead to giving up, which is why support and again patience are key. I'm reliable, patient and easy to talk to.…

Local Reviews

Sophie is amazing. She's developed a great relationship with my 13-year-old daughter. It's been a joy to watch my child's confidence grow with Sophie's calm approach, patience and support. My daughter isn't stressed about maths anymore and enjoys working through challenges with Sophie. Wish I'd done this sooner!

Inside Tacoma SouthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Simran worked on solving simultaneous equations and practiced applying algebraic principles to tackle inequalities.

In Year 9, Sienna focused on graphing directly proportional relationships and explored further work with surds and ratios using visual examples.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Ruby learned about the place value of digits in large numbers and built confidence with long addition through step-by-step written practice.

Recent Challenges

The Year 10 student struggled to recall steps after eagerly working through problems—"he tends to forget the steps after eagerly doing them," a tutor noted—which made it hard to consolidate simultaneous equations and inequalities before time ran out.

In Year 8, messy or unclear written work meant sign errors slipped by during multi-step equations, so extra time was spent tracing mistakes rather than progressing.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner hesitated when 'carrying the one' in long addition, often erasing answers and starting over instead of fixing small errors directly. This slowed confidence and made checking work stressful.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Tacoma South noticed Josh, a high school student, finally worked out simultaneous equations using substitution after struggling with algebra for some time—he even identified where he'd gone wrong before.

In another session, a Year 10 student showed cleaner, more organised working when factorising and now solves equations without hesitation, a big shift from his earlier confusion.

Meanwhile, Ruby in Year 3 figured out on her own why multiplication works the same way regardless of order and confidently multiplied several numbers together without help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very pleased with the program to date. Stephen is a very nice young man and a good tutor. David our son enjoys his teaching style and tutoring.

I was very happy with James' tutoring. Warren was a great tutor for James and as I mentioned on the phone,I wish we had found him sooner. In the short time that James did have his tutoring, I did notice he has become more confident and independent with his maths. Although he is still not a straight A student, he did show some improvement.

Thank you for the follow up.  Belinda is fantastic.  Ben really likes her.  I know it has only been 3 weeks but Ben is already feeling more confident with his maths.  His exams start next week so Belinda is revising with him.  I'm very happy, thank you.

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 Tuggerah Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tacoma Public School.
