Provide value for the student. The student has signed up in the first place as they require help. Thus, as a tutor, I would want to provide that help to them in a personalised way such that it makes clear sense to them on the topic being taught. Communication with a younger audience.

As tutors, we should provide a safe space for students that would make them realise that it is okay to make a mistake. Next, we should also make students feel that they can achieve their academic goals. Continuously giving them positive feedback is helpful as well because it would motivate them to work harder. And lastly, as tutors, we should…

Hence as a teacher, it is crucial to…

Secondly his experience as a tutor means a patient engagement with his student, where in the…

Inside Orchard HillsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5, Oliver revised multiplication, subtraction, and division of fractions in depth, as well as key concepts in rates and ratios.

In Year 10, William focused on applications of differentiation—specifically tackling HSC-style questions—and began consolidating his understanding of coordinate geometry through targeted textbook exercises.

For Year 11, Grace completed practice exam papers covering advanced calculus topics such as integral calculus and rates of change, while also working on graphing techniques and curve sketching.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, a student's written work in trigonometry became difficult to follow when questions were left incomplete or only partially attempted—"couldn't finish off the trig topic," one tutor noted—which made it hard to spot where misunderstandings occurred.

A Year 12 learner, working through HSC past papers, sometimes avoided earlier exam sections during revision and missed practicing end-of-paper questions; this limited exposure to tougher problems under real conditions.

In upper primary, inconsistent spelling practice led to repeated errors with "elaborate words," as feedback wasn't always reviewed before moving on.

Unfinished papers and partial revision left students unsure about which concepts truly needed more attention.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Orchard Hills noticed a Year 11 student who had struggled to ask for help with maths is now confidently requesting clarification when stuck, rather than staying silent.

During high school revision sessions, one Year 9 student made a leap by reading out loud without hesitating on difficult words—something she previously avoided.

In primary, a Year 4 learner began using number lines independently to find patterns after earlier needing step-by-step prompting.

Most recently, a secondary student completed all assigned questions for a tough chapter in trigonometry, choosing to tackle the hardest example first without hesitation.

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 Penrith City Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Montgrove College.
