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…

The most important thing by far is engagement. Tutoring is good, although it can only do so much if the students interest is elsewhere. The best thing a tutor can do is help the student engage more in school as the student will spend 80% of their time in the classroom and 20% with a tutor so using that 80% to your advantage is the most important…

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 Charlestown, NSW
Helping a student to enjoy a subject, or at the very least succeed, is a major thing to help them through school. Everyone has different needs, and a tutor helps accommodate those needs in an efficient way. Inspiration can go a long way, and improving their enjoyment of a subject may set them up for a future they love. When I tutored my friends in…

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…

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…

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…

A tutor should be able to build upon the basics and the foundation of a subject, most exams require an application of the basics. Students can only achieve full marks if they can apply their core knowledge in different ways to suit a question. Hence, the most important thing a tutor can do is teach ways to apply the basics. In math, there are…

I think being a tutor is especially important in the sense that they are capable of adapting to their students needs and the way they process information, able to come up with different strategies to help the student learn the topic is the way best suited for them. I also think a tutor should be able to help the student understand the topic at…

Based on my experience, I believe tutoring goes beyond the instructional role to supplement class-room teaching in three ways: Empathic: Face-to-face or personalized tutoring is intended to be remedial in nature. At times, the lack of understanding of some fundamental concepts from the prior years causes difficulty for the student. The tutor…

Inside Carey BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Claudia worked on converting basic fractions to decimals and practiced reading both analogue and 24-hour time.

In Year 9, Tiffany completed a diagnostic assessment covering algebraic manipulation and indices to identify focus areas for upcoming lessons.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ethan revised financial mathematics—calculating gross and net pay using percentages—and tackled essay structure in English, working through real-life wage scenarios alongside writing tasks.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student in mathematics has been struggling to recall formulas for indices and often mixes up symbols when multiplying and dividing, as one tutor noted: "She wasn't sure which symbol to use in index laws, so the answer didn't make sense."

In Year 10 chemistry, difficulty remembering steps for titration calculations led to repeated errors on practice tests.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student's workbook was flagged for "messy handwriting and unclear layout," making it hard to follow her own working when adding fractions.

For one Year 11 student revising financial maths, forgetting basic facts like weeks per year slowed problem-solving.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Carey Bay recently noticed Tiffany, a high school student, move from hesitation to confidently applying the Pythagorean Theorem and working through salaries and wages calculations step by step—she even began speaking up when something wasn't clear, rather than staying silent.

Another secondary student became noticeably more independent with expanding equations and solving problems involving indices, now communicating openly about what she finds tricky.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who once struggled with reading analog clocks can now tell the time without help and has started using a whiteboard on her own to work through new times tables.

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 Toronto Library, tirrabiyangba—or at your child's school (with permission), like Coal Point Public School.
