The most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, tailor lessons to their needs, and inspire a love for learning. Providing support, encouraging independence, and fostering critical thinking are also key to helping them succeed. My strength as a tutor lies in my ability to simplify complex concepts and tailor my…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is help students believe in themselves. When students feel confident, they’re more open to learning and tackling challenges. A good tutor creates a space where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes without fear of judgment. It’s also about making lessons relatable and…

The most important thing for a tutor is to not feed the student to information but to guide them as they learn. It's to teach the students how to learn independently and invoke within them a passion and a want for more learning and knowledge. To show students that studying is not a chore but a tool and a privilege that they can use. As a young…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be a positive role model, and be someone to look up to, someone who can be relied upon for any academic issue. I think the biggest problem is that students are afraid of being judged or scared of what tutors might think of them, and I believe that establishing that open honest…

the most important thing a tutor can do is assist by asking the student questions to find their weaknesses in the subject and do practice tests, additionally a tutor can explain the students assessment tasks and assist to get the correct answer without directly telling the answer but leading the student towards the answer so they can find it…

Guiding a student towards achieving their goals through working towards a solution and learning an appropriate method for obtaining solutions.

I have had many experiences with teachers and tutors during my HSC years and most of them would end up explaining the questions. This was an issue for me as I might end up understanding that questions but I wouldn't be able to understand other questions as I didn't understand the concept. Therefore, the most important thing a tutor can do is help…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to be open and offer an open exchange of exchange of information that allows a student to freely delve into a subject. I feel tutors better excel at this compared to teachers who's depth and exploration of a topic can be shallow due to the rigorous nature of the syllabus. My strengths would be gentle…

In my perspective the best thing the tutor can do for the student is to understand the child completely, make a good bond with them and help them to learn infinite things. My strengths as a teacher are I understand the child by the face expressions, my teaching concept is pretty much strong and before teaching any child I make sure to plan the…

I think a tutor should NOT ROTE-learn, nor encourage it. I have had tutors support this method - and this is of no help. Hence, the most important thing a tutor can do is do for the student is to really guide/build upon the foundation of knowledge that the current student has (through discussion/exercises). This involves careful listening and…

Most important point of being a tutor isn't the ability of doing the question yourself, or understanding it yourself, as a tutor this is already expected, so conveying the concept to the student in such a way that they are able to convey it along to someone else is one of the fundamental aspects of tutoring. Helping students with topics they…

Teaching the content required within a particular subject is only the start of what a tutor can do for their student, but teaching them how to apply everything they have learned to not only the subject at hand but how they are tested within that subject. Since going through the HSC I have learned that some subjects teach content in a very…

The most important thing a tutor can teach a student is that learning can be fun.

Inside RiverstoneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Charlize practised comparing fractions with different denominators and used pie graphs to visualise them, then worked on long division problems using the HMS-down method.

In Year 10, Justine focused on circle geometry exam questions, including applying angle properties in diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Ivanna tackled inverse and composite functions from chapters 4I and 4J, building fluency with function operations and notation.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student's lesson revealed a key process gap: he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors, making it hard to spot mistakes until late.

In Year 12 probability, a student left boxes empty when unsure, rather than attempting partial answers or using feedback to guide their thinking.

One primary student hesitated to ask for help with spelling rules and vowel placements, leading to repeated errors on writing tasks.

Missed homework in senior mathematics meant concepts like the triangle inequality and Kruskal's algorithm faded between lessons, forcing time to be spent reteaching instead of moving forward.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Riverstone noticed a Year 11 student who used to hesitate with new maths concepts now independently applies the point-gradient formula and can explain her reasoning for both domain and range questions, even asking follow-up questions when stuck.

Another high schooler has started double-checking answers on their own and will pause the lesson to clarify anything unclear, rather than quietly guessing like before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who once struggled with multiplication tables now remembers strategies between lessons—she was able to recall the 4 times table from memory after practice without needing prompts.

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 Vinegar Hill Memorial Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Riverstone Public School.
