Tutor Swansea, NSW
The most important thing is bringing the the learning down to the students level. I believe by doing this not only makes learning relatable and accessible, but also make the whole experience fun and enjoyable. My strengths include being able to listen to what the student says. If they are having difficult over a particular concept, then I would go…

Tutor Buttaba, NSW
I think fostering curiosity and confidence are the most important things a tutor can do for a student. Technical knowledge is obviously extremely important, however, I think building solid study foundations is something a student will carry with them for the rest of their lives. As a current university student, I understand the frustration that…

To help them find and understand the answers themselves, opposed to just being told answers, or given formulas without proper explanation. This helps them not only understand there answers but also question answers they believe to be incorrect. I have good communication skills and I'm very patient. I also feel that my enjoyment for these subjects…

Tutor Valentine, NSW
I think it is important to create a casual, comfortable learning space for students where they feel comfortable talking to me as another student rather than a teacher. I feel this benefits them by not feeling that they are in a classroom, but rather simply discussing topics of difficulty with a colleague or mentor, ultimately increasing enthusiasm…

Tutor Point Wolstoncroft, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to recognise and stimulate wherever possible a personal interset in the subject being taught. Ideally this will literally involve relating the subject to the student's own intellectual, cultural or recreational interests, but it may simply involve alinging success in the subject to broader…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient. I think it is important to understand that everyone learns at their own pace and in their own way. It is important to be patient and engaged so that the student feels comfortable and safe to ask questions which create productive dialog. I think my biggest strength is…

Inside BlacksmithsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Claudia worked on adding and subtracting like fractions, then practiced multiplication of fractions and addition of mixed numbers using visual aids.

In Year 9, Tiffany completed a diagnostic assessment to identify strengths and gaps in her maths knowledge before starting targeted support.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Emily focused on Preliminary HSC revision by tackling calculus concepts alongside functions, polynomials, and trigonometry problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student working on indices and area formulas struggled to remember which symbols matched each operation; she mixed up multiplication and division rules when simplifying, as one tutor noted, causing hesitation in multi-step questions.

In Year 8 financial maths, not knowing the number of weeks in a year led to confusion during budgeting tasks.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student repeatedly left homework incomplete, so valuable session time was spent redoing unfinished work instead of moving forward.

Messy written layout appeared in Year 7 fraction exercises—answers were correct but difficult to follow, making it harder to review mistakes later.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Blacksmiths recently noticed that Tiffany, a high school student, began communicating openly when confused—previously she would quietly guess or move on, but now she actively asks for clarification and works through problems step by step.

Another high school win came from Aanika, who used to hesitate with linear equations but now solves complex questions independently by applying formulas learned in past sessions.

Meanwhile, Claudia (Year 3) initially struggled to read an analogue clock, yet after some practice can now tell the time unaided and even tackles trickier times like 6:47 without prompting.

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 Swansea Library, kariyawangba—or at your child's school (with permission), like Pelican Flat Public School.
