Help them to improve their abilities in areas they are not so confident in. Be there for them as a mentor as well as a teacher. I am organised and work well with others. I also have a good grasp of the subject. Sometimes I pay too much attention to small…

Science Tutor Umina Beach, NSW
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is show genuine care for the student's learning. Additionally, having a passion for teaching is vital, because with no passion and care, the tutoring interactions with the student are inauthentic. My greatest strength as a tutor is being able to change the way I explain a concept so…

Tutor has to be completely sure that students understood all provided information very clear. This gives them filling of confidence, happiness, and satisfaction. I can explain the information in different simple understandable ways. When I studied Diploma in Building and Construction in TAFE, we had subject which called structure. I could explain…

Science Tutor Ettalong Beach, NSW
Implement creativity and a willingness to try is the most important skill a tutor can pass on to their students. Once a student builds a willingness to try and a need to challenge themselves, they will be more likely to build good habits and routines around creating these pathways for themselves. I always ask myself 'how do students learn' and…

Science Tutor Woy Woy, NSW
I think that whilst having adaptive teaching methods is important, ensuring the student constantly feels supported and motivated by the tutor is vital. For me, in school no matter how much I was struggling (especially in maths) I found that having a great, understanding teacher, allowed me to not be afraid of asking ‘stupid’ questions. So for…

Science Tutor Green Point, NSW
I believe that tutors should provide all-round mentorship to students and that this is one of the most important things that can come of tutoring; helping them to feel more confident in approaching problems they have in their everyday lives and to search for the answers to the questions that they have about the world around them. I am very patient…

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

Cassidy has had one session with Scott. Cassidy came home very positive, saying that Scott was great at explaining concepts and that he will benefit from his tutoring support. Cassidy related well with Scott and seemed very impressed by his level of knowledge and by his academic progress at university. In effect, Scott is a great role model for Cassidy. I hope this all continues well.

Thanks for your email, Mitchell is really excited to have Ken as his tutor, he made a great impression when he came along for a chat and that high expectation has continued. He has a natural way with him and engages well with Mitchell, unlocking the mysteries and some tricks to understanding Math. We also like that Ken is a skilled tutor in many subjects so are looking forward to a long term relationship with him as a mentor for Mitchell. Someone that has worked hard to achieve success which is what we all want for our children. Thanks again I feel this match will be a good one.

Yes we are very happy with Jacinta. She is lovely and Emily likes her. She seems to be very suited to Emily, as she has a very practical approach to helping Emily with her Math's, and understood straight away what Emily's basic needs were. We look forward to Jacinta tutoring Emily this year.

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.
