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. It is also important to encourage your students as having that support can push them further than they think they can.

Make sure that the student is comfortable with your way of teaching and is actively involved. Tutoring is not only about jabbering stuff even though the student doesn’t understand a single thing. You have to take it slow and steady until your student is confident enough and can explain the same concept back to you even well. - calmness…

As we all know, learning should not be restricted to getting good marks in any institution or to memorising lists of facts. The most important things that can be given are the motivation and ability to keep finding things out for oneself (and to fact check new information without relying on AI or internet rumour). Seeing and approaching topics…

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…

Josh

Inside Cardiff SouthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 Tiffany completed a diagnostic assessment of Year 9 maths to pinpoint priority areas for support.

For Year 10, Ben practised applying the Quadratic Formula and worked through completing the square when solving quadratic equations.

Meanwhile, in Year 8, Olivia reviewed volume and capacity calculations for cylinders and explored literary techniques to improve her English analysis.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student preparing for HSC science exams struggled with planning revision and keeping up with the workload; "results below expectations" was a direct outcome of not practicing enough exam-style questions or reviewing feedback in depth.

In Year 10, one student's algebra work showed frequent gaps because formulas weren't memorized—leading to confusion when tackling indices and surds.

For a Year 4 learner, times tables remained shaky, and difficulties with number place value often resulted in incorrect answers, as noted: "he sometimes made the mistake of forgetting that he took away a place for a number."

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Cardiff South noticed that one Year 10 student, who used to rush through worded maths problems and miss key details, now writes out each step and checks for understanding before moving on—especially when interpreting multi-step financial questions.

Another high schooler who previously struggled with rationalising surds has started catching simple mistakes during practice tests and confidently explains her working, rather than just showing answers.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student initially found maths terminology confusing but by the end of his session could correctly use new terms in conversation and solved two tricky shape questions 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 Cardiff Library, kuram—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cardiff South Public School.
