English Tutor (Year 7 to Year 12) in St. Leonards

About us

YK Education was founded by an NSW Qualified High School teacher with the vision of putting students at the centre of their education by catering to their individual needs. If there are thirty students in the class, there should be thirty modified lessons.

The YK Method combines private tutoring and small group sessions so that we can cater to every student’s unique educational needs and struggles. There are pros and cons to private and group tuition so we've developed a program where students can experience the best of both!

We work closely with individual students so if you enjoy building strong connections with people and helping students achieve their personal best, you will find working with us to be a rewarding experience.

“Having worked at YK for a few years, I've found the atmosphere there supportive for both teaching and learning. The English programmes at YK are one-on-one, meaning that students have sessions that are appropriate for their ability and the specific issues they have in class. As a tutor, I could also build a more personal relationship with each student and encourage them to feel confident in asking questions and identifying areas that they struggle with. Everyone at YK from staff to students is friendly and familiar with each other…To me, this supportive environment is a great asset of YK and key to helping struggling students reach their full potential.”

“…From the beginning of this year, I’ve also worked at YK Education as an English tutor and continue to learn about what an amazing tutoring experience is offered here. I can appreciate how we tailor our tutoring for each student in order to create the best learning experience, as
