I think the most important thing is that they feel motivated to learn, and that going to a tutor would be a fun experience for them. With that, a tutor should be able to clearly teach students and that the student can confidently go to a tutor knowing that he or she will fully understand his or lessons. They should always feel that the learning…

I think making human connection with students and do not imagine myself superior than my pupils are the most important thing one can do for a student in addition to help them academically. I am able to explain hard things in simple form and makes them easy for them to grasp. I do not focus on memorizing as a way to learn but on understanding and…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student go beyond just teaching the subject. A tutor should build their confidence, encourage critical thinking, and provide constant support and motivation. It’s also essential to foster independence while ensuring that students always feel supported and know they can seek guidance…

The biggest thing would be to help students understand that ignorance is not failure. Just because they don't know something "basic", that does not mean they are worse than others, or are stupider, or are not going to succeed. It simply means they were not taught in a way that makes sense to them. This could be for a number of reasons, and not…

A tutor should not just be present to give the student all the answers. Its about building confidence and understanding the student’s way of thinking in order to help them grasp concepts and overcome their academic difficulties. Its about taking on a leadership and mentor role so that you can guide your student, and making them feel comfortable…

The tutor needs to care about the student's learning. They need to understand the way each student learns best and mould their pedagogy to fit the student. The tutor needs to be able to recognise consistency in errors so that they can make the student aware of where they are going wrong and can help fix it. The tutor also needs to be patient and…

A tutor needs to listen to a student, to understand what the best methods of learning will be, and needs to adapt their teaching to work for any student, rather than just forcing a student into a single mindset. I explain things very carefully, with multiple ways of looking at something, so I am quite flexible in trying to work with a student. I…

I believe a great tutor goes beyond just increasing a student's marks- they are able to act as a mentor and oversee a student's education holistically. For example, I also guided one of my previous students through his year 12 year, helping him with the university admissions process and scholarship applications, where he is now studying…

I believe if I can make a difference in the student's life such that they are at a better place from when I began teaching them and If I am actually able to see quantifiable results.

In my opinion, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with a supportive and encouraging learning environment. This means taking the time to understand each student's unique needs, learning style, and interests, and tailoring the tutoring approach accordingly. A good tutor should also be patient and compassionate,…

I believe a tutor needs empathy. The tutor needs to make a targeted effort to understand their student. A student's weaknesses, strengths, drive and thinking style all play an integral role in a student's learning process and thus should be taken into account when developing lessons. Individual needs must be considered to facilitate realistic and…

Making a student as confident as possible is the upmost important aspect of tutoring in my mind. This is because, no matter how many hours are spent studying, if a student is not confident within themselves, in exam settings they will constantly doubt themselves and make avoidable mistakes. Therefore, building students confidence is the most…

The most important thing is to just be there for them, to understand their strengths and weaknesses and being able to help them where you can.

Make the subject less dreadful and confusing for the students. Help them discover the fun and show them ways in learning the subject so they are wiling to learn intrinsically.

Local Reviews

Both daughters were very happy with Emily's tutoring
Ian, Callaghan

Inside CallaghanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Emily focused on equivalent fractions and converting improper fractions to mixed numbers, using visual models for clarity.

Year 8 student Jack practiced solving two-step algebraic equations and worked through factorization and simplifying algebraic expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Olivia revised coordinate geometry by finding gradients and intercepts of linear equations, then explored rates and ratios with real-world fuel consumption examples.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student, as noted, "didn't do her homework from last week"—this gap showed up when place value and decimal work felt unfamiliar in the lesson.

In Year 12 Standard Maths, a lack of exam technique led to a disappointing test result: "She knows all the content well, but overcomplicates problems and stresses under pressure."

Another senior student relied heavily on calculator shortcuts for negative number rules, making errors easy to miss until marked.

Meanwhile, one Year 10 learner avoided writing out full algebra steps; this hid small sign mistakes that slowed progress during revision.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Callaghan recently saw a Year 10 student move from needing tree diagrams for probability questions to working out outcomes on her own, showing real independence with this tricky topic.

In Year 11, one student who had always struggled with rates and ratios can now solve these problems without hesitation—this was a big shift from earlier weeks when she avoided them altogether.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who previously needed constant help telling time managed to complete a whole worksheet solo and explained the "past" and "to" sides of the clock out loud at the end.

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 Lambton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Heaton Public School.
