The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is understand how they learn and ensure the student feels comfortable. A tutor should be the person a student can be open with if they don't understand something without feeling embarrassed or dumb. By understanding how the student learns both the tutor and the student can make the most of the…

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…

In my opinion, the most important thing will be to give the child my time and attention. Only when they felt attended to, be it serious work or not, they will start listening but, also educating them about priorities. As well as having the patience to tackle the questions one at a time. Strengths: - strict and firm (not fierce) - emphasize on…

A tutor can help create a safe environment for a child to voice their concerns with learning which they may feel unable to do in a class setting. Having one-on-one tutor sessions can also help a child to target exactly what they are struggling with. A tutor also has more time with that student to assess what they are good at in order to keep…

By being flexible, open and available to help students as much as possible, tutors have the capacity to develop a deep and meaningful connection with them and students will be able to trust and learn more from the tutor.

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…

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…

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…

Richard is a lovely young man. Very patient and caring in his delivery of his tutoring. He has made my daughter feel better about her ability to problem solve her mathematics.

Inside GeorgetownTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Chloe reviewed algebraic techniques, including operations with indices and equations involving pronumerals on both sides, before tackling basic quadratic equations.

In Year 11, Erika practised questions on rates and ratios as well as bearings and trigonometry, then moved onto biology topics such as the male and female reproductive systems and the hormonal regulation of the menstrual cycle.

Meanwhile, Year 5 student Tyler worked through NAPLAN-style division and multiplication exercises alongside revision using Mathletics on the iPad.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student struggled to keep up with homework and independent study—notes were often undated, and only about an hour per week was spent revising. As one tutor put it, "he explained it was because of lack in knowledge to complete the questions," highlighting a cycle where missed practice deepened gaps in financial maths and trigonometry.

In Year 8, another student's workbook became disorganised over time, making it harder to review concepts or spot repeated errors.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner sometimes skipped homework entirely, saying she'd "give it a go next week"—leaving place value skills underdeveloped heading into new topics.

Recent Achievements

One Georgetown tutor recently noticed a big shift in a Year 12 student's approach to challenging maths problems: after struggling with question interpretation, he now underlines key data and circles verbs before solving, which means he's needing far less help and is getting through complex questions more independently.

Meanwhile, a high school student who previously left homework unfinished has started completing all assigned tasks and even attempts extra questions—demonstrating not just effort but genuine initiative.

In Year 8 science, another student showed new independence by identifying food chains in ecosystems without prompting and confidently explained how energy moves between organisms.

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 Mayfield Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Callaghan College Waratah Campus.
