The most important thing you can do for a student is usually to inspire them, as this is the number one key to success and personal growth for them in a subject, in my opinion. Allowing students to appreciate beauty and simplicity links the value of the topics to their work in it. Of course, some students are already very passionate so for them…

I believe that a good teacher will prioritise the mindset of their student(s) before attempting to actually teach them anything. To enter the flow state prior to gaining knowledge is, in my view, of utmost importance. A tutor should find a way to ensure that their student is enjoying the learning experience. One example is, rather than explaining…

I believe that a tutor should be able to assist in building confidence in their students' abilities and should encourage learning from both mistakes and criticism, as well as taking these aspects in a positive manner. I think that a tutor's job is to both work on their students' educational needs but also build strong soft skills in terms of…

As a tutor it is vital that we make sure the student doesn't resent learning and to achieve this we must be open to how the student responds to different teaching styles and adjust our approach to make it individualised to each student. I believe my strengths include my patience and communication skills. I always found reading a textbook over and…

Not just give the student answers but help them understand how they got to the answer that way even when you are not there, they can still complete their assignments at a satisfactory level. I'm patient, I cannot move on until I'm sure my student has understood. I'm also pretty thorough, going from the basics to the level that the child is trying…

Throughout my academic career, I have had many tutors. My favourite tutors have been the ones that have been patient and flexible with me. I think being patient towards your students allows a space where minds can grow and learn. Patience shows that you (as a tutor) want the student to be eager and try and tackle the problem before you assist them…

Inside Rowes BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Sophia worked through simplifying index laws and evaluating decimals, focusing on correcting recent test errors using school materials.

In Year 10, Isaac practised applying sine and cosine rules to solve triangle problems, alongside a chemistry session analysing ionic and covalent bond interactions and determining compound formulas.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Eve revised Pythagoras' theorem by finding side lengths in right-angled triangles and tackled worded ratio questions with step-by-step guidance.

Recent Challenges

Several students across Years 4–12 struggled with process-related habits that slowed their progress.

In Year 10 Science, a student was unable to locate the most updated version of his assessment task, which "was a vital part of the discussion," highlighting organization and resource management issues.

A Year 8 student repeatedly left maths homework incomplete, making it harder to consolidate skills between sessions.

Meanwhile, in Year 11 English, difficulty connecting body paragraphs back to the thesis made essays feel disjointed and undermined clarity.

During trigonometry in Year 9 Maths, over-reliance on calculators delayed fluency with basic ratios—confidence faltered as questions became less familiar.

Recent Achievements

A Rowes Bay tutoring session saw a Year 11 student who'd previously hesitated to ask for help now actively bringing in questions and feedback from both school and tutor, leading to a noticeably stronger essay draft.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 learner who often guessed on homework started double-checking her methods and corrected past mistakes after reviewing test errors together.

For a younger student, one tutor noticed she's moved from needing step-by-step support with division to tackling new problems independently—she finished her latest worksheet without asking for any hints.

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 Citylibraries Flinders Street—or at your child's school (with permission), like Belgian Gardens State School.
