My Son (Year 8) has been attending NEC for 6 months now and it has been a great help for him to make sure he is on top of his school work and improving his confidence. Angela has given me a lot of time to understand his difficulties and ensure he has the help needed. He really enjoys working with his tutor at NEC.

Exceptional tutoring! Both my son and daughter attend NEC and have really benefited. Sharyn, Ange and the team of tutors are not only lovely but go above and beyond each week, always preparing relevant study material as well as regularly providing feedback/suggestions via email. I can't recommend them highly enough. Yvette Pascoe, Warriewood

I have learned so much at NEC for the past 3 years. They have taught me maths strategies and to be confident in reading. The teachers are all entertaining and engaging

NEC has been an absolutely blessing for our two children (11 and 13). The centre's teaching methodologies are superbly structured and very efficient. The kids are happy to go and plan their work and maths + English questions leading up to their sessions. We feel that their lessons (each with individual teachers) have really supported their motivation and autonomous learning progress this year. Thanks Angela and Sharyn, it is a pleasure dealing with you, you make NEC feel like a happy place for the students to come to every week (=happy parents too :).

Mia has grown from strength to strength in both her self-confidence and academic ability. She now tackles her studies head on! Mia is nearly at the end of her secondary school journey and we'd like to thank Sharyn and her team at NEC for all the support they have provided Mia over the years.

I cannot recommend NEC highly enough. The quality of tuition is exceptional and this is backed up by very efficient communication and a friendly service. My daughter has been attending for a number of years, and is now heading towards her HSC with a high degree of confidence and competence largely thanks to the dedicated tutors at NEC.

About us

Do your kids feel overwhelmed?

Are you frustrated by not being able to give them the help they need? Is this affecting the well-being of your family?

Imagine if you had a child who was more interested, more confident and more organised. Impossible? Not with our help.

Statistics in ‘The Australian’ newspaper (June 15th, 2018) stated that nearly 50% of Australian school students feel “very stressed” about meeting academic expectations.

Newport Education Centre exists to equip your child to win at school, catering academically, individually and emotionally for each child. By empowering young people to overcome their own limitations, frustrations and challenges at school, we support them to not just reach their potential, but to feel good about themselves.

Our students want to come to NEC where they know they can ask questions and get help with their current school tasks and problems. We teach them the skills to cope – organisation, study techniques and planning ahead – using methods that work for them. We are a safe place, a haven where your child will thrive.

You will definitely benefit from our 36 years of experience. Second generations of families are coming through our door, proof of the difference we have made in the lives of thousands. We would like to be the support that your child is -maybe silently- asking for.

Call us to discuss your needs.

For us it goes beyond giving every student the opportunity to realise their potential – it’s about believing that every child can feel good about themselves.

Who do we help?

It is probably easier to ask ‘who don’t we help?’ as our clientele is wide and varied.

Over nearly 40 years, we have designed individual programs for students with:

  • average, or above average ability who are experiencing difficulties in one or more area of study and who are not reaching their potential.
  • specific learning difficulties
  • medical disorders
  • behaviour disorders
  • ADD/ADHD diagnosis
  • gifted and talented students
  • home-schoolers
  • travelling families
  • students who are frequently away from school due to sickness, sporting, or acting commitments
  • students sitting for OC tests, Selective High School Tests and Scholarship Exams

Newport Education Centre has over 32 years of experience catering for the individual needs of children at all educational levels. All of our teachers are qualified, caring and experienced. Tuition is either one-to-one or two-to-one, with all children working on their own individual program. This means that they are working on what they need to when they need it, helping students to maintain self confidence by getting school assessments completed and handed in. Our programs are designed according to the individual needs of your child with consideration given to learning styles, strengths and weaknesses and contact with schools provides a more unified approach.

A story from our founder

Experienced caring tutors Northern Beaches Sydney

When I was at school I often struggled to learn. Outwardly I was the class clown but inside I felt like I was never going to make it. I lived in fear of others seeing me fail. So, I taught myself to use what I did have – determination and my OCD trait of being fantastically organised. Eventually, after many disappointments, I learned to work with my difficulties, finishing school in all the top classes, even achieving a ‘First’ in my favourite subject!

With this success came a deep and growing passion to become a teacher who could make a difference and share the strategies I had developed. Over more than 40 years and 60.000 hours of teaching and tutoring students of all levels from K -12, I have realised that there is nothing more rewarding than sharing in my students’ own success stories.

Outside of teaching I am a wife and ‘crazy’ mum of two gorgeous, grown up kids, whose individual journeys had their own learning curves of stresses, triumphs, tears and laughter. I love to travel, compete in sports and enjoy the sunshine, beaches and waterways of our beautiful area. I believe that my experiences as a world champion and dual Australian Paddling representative have enhanced what I have to offer to my students in my role as their mentor and friend.

Running a business, teaching, training and being a mum has allowed me to understand the practical difficulties faced by parents and students in the real world. I know the help you need. I hope that you will allow my awesome team to support your child by empowering them to win at school and feel good about themselves.
