While obviously a tutor is paid to help a student improve their grades or help them study, a tutor that is able to give a student an actual interest in the subject matter is one of the best things a tutor can do. Giving a student an interest in the subject will make them improve their grades even by thereself as they will enjoy studying and seek…

In my perspective, the most important things a tutor can do for a student go beyond just academic support. Firstly, fostering a positive and encouraging learning environment is crucial. This involves not only helping with the subject matter but also building the student's confidence and motivation. Tailoring teaching methods to suit the student's…

Be there for the student and not dismiss any question from the student as a not-so-good question. That demotivates the student. Every question is an important and a good question. I'm a very patient person. I can keep explaining a topic repeatedly if necessary to explain it to the student. And my biggest strength will be that I genuinely love…

I believe that tutoring should not be a formulaic job. Essentially, what that means is that different people have different ways of learning and I think it's important for tutors to be able to adapt to how a student approaches a particular topic instead of standardizing knowledge. My main strengths are that I am very good with people of all ages…

Relatability is so important. We see a huge disconnect between teachers/tutors and students. I believe that an equal playing field with mutual respect creates a unique learning environment and nurtures encouragement. The student can see how the teacher got to where they are, and can realise that they, too, can learn these concepts just as those…

In maths, I think it's important that you address the fundamental stumbling block that prevents a student from being able to tackle a larger problem. A lot of students can panic when they don't understand a problem right away so it is important to equip them with the ability to break down the task into smaller problems and start from there. I have…

Make them feel safe/comfortable - if they're anxious about learning that could really hinder their future education. This sounds really clichĂ© but I think it's important to teach someone to learn/enjoy learning. People who find acquiring skills/information as a chore will have trouble progressing anywhere. I think my empathy - it's really…

Prioritizing the clarification of doubts emerges as a top priority in tutoring. Creating a comfortable environment for students, where they understand that tutors are here to assist, is essential.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is tailor their approach to accomodate for the needs of a student. I also think it is incredibly important to offer both academic support and assurance, particularly when a student lacks academic confidence. A lot of the time, errors or poor performance are rooted in students' hesitance and belief…

A tutor can do two primarily important things for a student: 1) recognize and modify their teaching approach to consider their student's specific learning style, 2) maintain a friendly yet professional rapport so that the student feels comfortable engaging with the tutor and content. For myself, these are fundamental qualities a tutor should…

Listen to the student. I think it is of paramount importance for a tutor to listen to the problems the child is facing both academically and with the learning environment. In listening a tutor is then able to not only aid the student in what they are learning, but HOW they go about learning. I am organised and patient. I believe that as a tutor i…

Provide a safe space for the student to make mistakes without judgement. They don’t always have this at school with their peers looking on. Provide high level materials that don’t just duplicate those from school or in generic books.

Inside DarlinghurstTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 Maddison worked on trigonometry, focusing on finding angles and sides in right-angled triangles and solving problems involving elevation, depression, and bearings using diagrams.

For Year 10, revision included bearings and angle of depression before moving into probability concepts—correcting worksheet errors and previewing relative frequency and non-linear relationships.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student prepared for exams by discussing theoretical versus experimental probability with examples on relative frequency, followed by a review of non-linear relationships including parabolas, exponentials, and circles.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly avoided asking questions in class when confused, especially during algebra and probability lessons; as one tutor noted, "she needed extra explanation, but didn't seek it out." This meant confusion built up until revisited later.

In Year 10 mathematics, another student struggled with exam preparation because revision focused only on familiar problems—when new question types appeared, confidence dropped sharply.

A senior student's messy working in geometry made errors hard to trace: "Working was so disorganised that small sign errors went unnoticed," a tutor observed. After the test, time was lost hunting for simple mistakes instead of reviewing concepts.

Recent Achievements

One Darlinghurst tutor noticed Maddison, a Year 9 student, now actively asks for help when stuck instead of guessing—something she avoided in earlier sessions.

In Year 11 maths, William took the initiative to list specific assignment areas he wanted to revisit and worked through complex probability questions with less guidance than before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student recently completed 25 multiplication questions in under three minutes—a big jump from her slower attempts last term. Last week's session ended with her finishing all problems independently and double-checking her answers 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 Kings Cross Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Darlinghurst Public School.
