Modern History Tutor Ettalong Beach, NSW
I think the most important thing is taking the pressure off being “perfectâ€. There is no such thing as perfection and everyone reaches success differently. What works for one person may not work for another and in standardised exams, this often gets misconstrued, adding to the weight of being the perfect student. My patience and positive…

Modern History Tutor Booker Bay, NSW
Provide support both academically and mentally. This can be done through practicing a topic of a subject, and also helping schedule their weeks, so they know they will still have social/leisure time, and maximize their grades and themselves. I am incredibly confident and happy to also learn new things. For example, if a student comes to me and…

Modern History Tutor Whale Beach, NSW
i consider the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is encourage them to question and interpret the content in a way which suits themselves. More specifically, I believe tailoring a student’s tutoring to their strengths and weaknesses and encouraging them to reach their own personal goals. as a tutor I believe my strengths lie in my…

Inside Umina BeachTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Yillen focused on applying Pythagoras' theorem to real-life problems and revising area and perimeter, especially for composite shapes.

In Year 9, Hannah worked through surface area and volume calculations for cubes as well as ratios, using practical examples to reinforce understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Grace practised rearranging formulas to make a variable the subject and substituted values into equations from her homework set, helping build fluency with algebraic manipulation.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student struggled to stay engaged, arriving 12 minutes late and needing "almost 80% of the answers" from the tutor just to participate; distraction—possibly due to phone use—meant little progress could be made in real time.

In a Year 11 Maths lesson, lack of organization led to lessons without a calculator or notes, making it hard to practice Pi calculations or revise for exams.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student avoided writing out working in decimal tasks; as noted, "making sure she writes all her working out" remains an issue, leading to hidden errors and confusion when reviewing solutions later.

Recent Achievements

One Umina Beach tutor recently noticed a Year 9 student, who used to wait for help, now regularly asks clarifying questions during geometry problems and even requests extra practice on challenging topics.

A Year 11 student made real strides in financial maths—after struggling with the correct formula for commission, she picked it up quickly and finished her homework sheet with almost perfect accuracy.

In a primary session, a Year 5 student who once hesitated to explain his reasoning is now confidently walking through his fraction solutions out loud without prompting.

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 Umina Beach Public School.
