About

“If they can't learn the way we teach, let's teach the way they learn.” Hi! I'm Nina — a passionate and dedicated F2F tutor committed to helping students build confidence and develop a love of learning. I am currently fulfilling my Master of Teaching (Secondary) in the learning areas of Biology and Chemistry. I believe in creating a supportive environment where your child feels safe to make mistakes, ask questions, and grow both academically and personally. I offer face-to-face tutoring (with an online option) because strong student-tutor interaction is key not only to learning but also to developing essential soft skills like verbal communication. If you're looking for a tutor who values connection, adaptability, and student growth, I’d love to hear from you!

Reviews

Nina is a wonderful tutor! My daughter is in year 8 and needed a patient, clear and calm tutor that could help guide her with maths. She recognized my daughter's needs and guided her in her coursework and beyond. She also recognized gaps in my daughters learning and was able to tailor her teaching methods to my daughters style of learning. She has really helped build up my daughters confidence in Maths and is now helping her with recalling information for future tests and further building her knowledge and preparing her for year 9. Nina is a sweet, thoughtful and wonderful young woman. We are so happy to have found her. I would highly recommend her if you have a child who needs extra confidence and someone who is patient and able to tailor her teaching to your child's individual needs.

Nina has tutored general maths for both my daughter through high school. She is very punctual, organised and incredibly patient. My girls say she explains the concepts to them well and when they have fallen behind has helped them catchup with multiple chapters in one session. Studying with her has helped them pass all their exams (on daughter struggled with math the whole way through and wouldn’t have passed otherwise). Her tutoring was money well spent and I have recommended Nina to many of my friends who also speak highly of her.

Nina tutored two of my children for year 7 and year 9 maths. Nina's approach helped both of them develop confidence, because Nina clearly explained concepts that they found impossible to grasp in a large busy classroom with an under resourced teacher - a difficult environment for learning for children with ADHD. Highly recommend.

Nina has been an absolutely wonderful Tutor for our daughter who is currently in year 7. Nina is diligent, punctual and organised and we have seen an enormous improvement in our daughter’s confidence and ability in her maths homework, assignments and tests. We strongly encourage you to use her services - Nina is a wonderful tutor and I would recommend her to anyone.
