A tutor can make a student love the subject he/she hates. The most important thing for a tutor is to understand the student, his/her interests, aptitude, and what he/she is inclined towards. If you have a basic idea of the student mindset you can develop techniques to make them understand the subject in a way they don't find it hard. Gamification…

My strengths are that I am a very good listener and I am easily able to be empathetic towards kids. I am friendly and approachable. Also, I have good knowledge of my subject matter, so that I…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is help a student believe in themselves. Good tutoring isn’t just about explaining the material — it’s about building confidence, curiosity, and independence. A tutor should listen carefully, adapt to each student’s needs, and celebrate their progress along the way. When students feel…

I consider the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to create an environment where the student is unafraid to ask questions, ask for help, and nurture a self-motivated attitude through communication and trust. My strength as a tutor is understanding the frustrations of a student feeling stuck due to the lack of help. I can look…

For me, a tutor's job is more than just assisting students in their academics. But more importantly, a tutor must be able to motivate and inspire students of who they truly are and help students discover their true potential by being a role model and building a positive relationship with students in the long term. I have the ability to grasp…

Show the student how to learn something. If a tutor can explain another way of looking at problems so that the student understands how to approach them, its the most useful thing for them.

First is to teach the student not only what to do but why they do it. This results in greater retention and a sense of meaning toward what they are studying which has a great motivating effect. Second, is to base learning off practice questions. I believe experience is the best and fastest way to learn - thus i will focus on producing good…

Guide the student and not give them the answer straight away. Let them develop the critical thinking needed for each type of problem. This is especially important in programming. You might get away with memorizing solutions to specific questions in maths or chemistry but in programming, each problem is unique and you really need to understand the…

Local Reviews

Martha has been an excellent choice. We are very happy.
Audrey, Balmain

Inside Balmain EastTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Charlie reviewed mean, median, mode and tackled Interquartile Range, then moved on to constructing and interpreting box plots using recent test questions.

Year 9 student Emma practised solving simultaneous equations and reinforced her understanding of algebraic equations through targeted problem sets.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ava focused on compound interest calculations and depreciation problems in maths, working through real-world scenarios for extra clarity.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student struggled with reading worded geometry questions fully, leading to missed key details—"she is still struggling picturing the different scenarios from the word questions," noted a tutor.

In Year 11, failure to plan and condense history notes led to either excess information or critical gaps when revising for assessments.

For Year 8 algebra, skipping steps in rearranging equations hid sign errors and slowed progress.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student repeatedly forgot multiplication tables during fraction work, causing frustration mid-task and slowing confidence growth when tackling more complex problems.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Balmain East noticed a big shift for one Year 10 student who had previously missed key details in algebra questions; she now checks each problem more carefully and rarely skips important information.

In Year 8 maths, another student moved from confusion with multi-step percentage problems to independently solving even the longest ones without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who once hesitated to read aloud tackled Level 11 and 12 books solo this week, finishing them with no help and even attempting the next level up.

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 Balmain Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Nicholson Street Public School.
