Science Tutor Pearl Beach, NSW
I think the best thing a tutor can do is make learning feel achievable. A big part of that is adapting to how each student learns, breaking things down in a way that makes sense to them, and giving them the confidence to tackle challenges on their own. Tutoring isn't just about getting through the syllabus, it's about showing students how to think…

Science Tutor Avalon Beach, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be a source of inspiration and support. I believe all students are equally capable and that with a little bit of tutor motivation and support, they can grow. I would consider my biggest strength to be my patience. I understand that some kids may not be as quick as others and I don't mind…

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…

Local Reviews

Jasmine has only spent a few hours with my daughter but I've been very happy with the progress that she has made in that short amount of time.. Jasmine is a great teacher and is building a strong connection with my daughter. I feel very lucky to have found her and I'm looking forward to seeing not only Alice's maths improve but also her attitude to her studies. I can see that Jasmine's subtle influence is going to be very valuable as Alice goes into Year 11. Thank you Jasmine.

Inside Whale BeachTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Alex focused on area and perimeter of rectangles and triangles, as well as solving problems involving composite shapes.

For Year 8, Jamie worked through trigonometry concepts including angles of elevation and depression, applying them to worded questions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Priya practiced quadratic equations and explored strategies for solving them step by step.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, a student's working was often hard to follow—steps were jumbled or squeezed together, making it tricky to spot errors in expanding brackets. "He wrote several lines of calculation with no labels or spacing," one tutor observed.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student struggled to keep formulas straight during bearings and financial maths tasks; the right method was sometimes forgotten mid-question, leading to confusion when reviewing.

In primary years, forgetting times tables slowed down division and multiplication problems—mental calculations took much longer without quick recall, especially on speed-based tests. Confidence dipped after these stumbles.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Whale Beach noticed a Year 10 student who previously made small mistakes on exams recently scored an impressive 88%, showing much better accuracy with logarithms and polynomials.

Another high schooler, after struggling to apply the product and chain rule in calculus, can now confidently differentiate using these methods and even tackles more complex problems independently.

For a younger primary student, a big shift came when she stopped relying on her fingers for addition—she's begun using mental strategies like 'rainbow' helpers instead, finishing larger sums without needing to count each time.

What they say about our tutoring

I would like to thank you and your team for all the help with preparing Marissa for her Math exam. Gabriella was a wonderful help,  I do nightly recommend her. Thank you for the time spent with her

Tutoring has gotten off to a great start thankyou. Adrian is always on time and his professional & friendly manner has encouraged Erin to have a positive response to being tutored ( she was not keen initially) Erin is enjoying her session with Adrian and I can see her willingness to work with him will increase her confidence in maths in general.

We are very happy with Rachel. Natasha feels very comfortable with Rachel and they get along well. Natasha feels more confident about maths now and almost excited to do her maths test at school tomorrow. Rachel has applied learning techniques that work best for Natasha and she is very patient. Rachel is also a lovely girl and has a warm personality. We are very thankful to have her tutoring Natasha.

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 Avalon Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Barrenjoey High School.
