Experienced, qualified and passionate primary educator.
Wollongong tutor in Creative Writing, English, General Maths, Geography, History, Maths, Piano, Reading, Study Skills
Welcome! My name is Hannah - or Ms McGarry as I am known to my wonderful Year 3 students.
As aforementioned, I am a passionate primary school teacher, with over 10 years experience in education - 9 of which are in full-time classroom positions.
The most fundamental aspect of my teaching philosophy is creating learning environments which inspire students to do just that, learn! I always ensure parents know, that to academics and achievements will come once a student feels confident and excited to enter a space of education. As a classroom educator, I value quality teaching practices, based on current research and curriculum/syllabus documents. This in turn places an emphasis on tailoring lessons to suit each individual student and their best learning styles/interest.
I look forward to helping your child reach their goals in learning for 2026!

Experience
Throughout my University study, I tutored approximately 20 students from Years 2-7 in English and Mathematics. I have taken a break from tutoring since commencing full-time teaching, however, I am excited to enter the tutoring world once more!
My extensive knowledge of NSW Syllabus documents, in conjunction with my classroom expertise, allows me to formulate tailored lessons to assist your child in working their personal goals in academics. Whether that goal is simply to feel more confident in a lesser known content area, or to extend themselves, tutoring might just be the pathway to get there.
