Eventually get them to a level where they become self-sufficient and confident in their abilities to teach themselves as well as think for themselves. These are skills that will be required when going to university as often (in my experience) you cannot have the professor/tutor sit down with you and go through concepts you didn't comprehend. These…

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…

I also think a tutor should be able to help the student understand the topic at…

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…

Every student has different knowledge and ability. The most important thing to do as a tutor is to have the skill and patience to guide these students using what they previously known.

Local Reviews

Patty

Inside CharlestownTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Liam focused on mastering the quadratic formula and completing the square to solve quadratic equations, working through targeted practice problems.

For Year 10, Jade explored financial mathematics concepts, including calculating simple interest from worded scenarios and breaking down compound interest and depreciation questions into steps.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student, Michael, revised preliminary HSC topics in calculus—differentiation basics—and strengthened his understanding of functions and polynomials by tackling past exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, one student showed gaps in test time management—"struggled to finish the final questions on algebra under timed conditions," as noted by a tutor.

In Year 11 Chemistry, another student avoided checking calculator inputs during titration calculations, leading to errors that went unnoticed until reviewing answers later.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner hesitated to write down working for multiplication problems, preferring mental calculation but often losing track of place value beyond thousands.

During senior Biology revision, reluctance to actively quiz themselves before exams meant important concepts remained untested—confidence dipped when unexpected topics appeared in practice papers.

Recent Achievements

A Charlestown tutor noticed one Year 11 student who used to rush through financial maths now double-checks each step and can interpret tricky worded questions with far less prompting, a big shift from needing hints every few minutes.

In Year 9, a student who was hesitant to speak up started telling the tutor when she hit a roadblock, then worked through indices problems independently by naming her mistakes out loud—something she'd avoided before.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner surprised everyone by nailing all his addition and subtraction tasks, even pushing himself to tackle more complex numbers after finishing early.

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