The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to empathise with the student. Understanding the student should be done before everything else. If the tutor and student has established a good relationship then the learning environment will be calm, open, and comfortable. Being the big sister of four wonderful kids with different…

According to me the most important trait in a tutor is patience. It is not necessary that each child learns at the same pace. A tutor should also possess the ability to create and provide problem statements which help the student to get a grip over the topic. Along with a good speaker a tutor must be a good listener making the session more…

He or she should be able to show patience and empathy to her students and stand with them in achieving their dreams. As a tutor, my major strengths are good communication skills and patience. I strongly want my students to…

A tutor needs to be patient when tutoring a student especially in subjects like mathematics and physics since those subjects require the most assumed knowledge in high school than any other subject, students normally have trouble recollecting previous works.

Important things a tutor can do for a student can be as subtle as providing the basic habits of Learning and self progression for the student. Many younger students struggle with this and tutoring can only go so far for them. Enforcing self-learning and the confidence to learn sometimes can be more beneficial than the topics covered.

Inside Surrey DownsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Jack focused on fraction operations—multiplying, dividing, adding and subtracting fractions—as well as factorising basic algebraic expressions.

Year 9 student Olivia practised applying the area of a triangle formula to worded problems and built confidence using function notation, linking both to her physics formulas for an upcoming test.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Emily worked through transformations of functions and received guidance with her investigation task by breaking down each step visually.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student often second-guessed her answers and hesitated to ask for clarification in algebra, which led to avoidable confusion—"she still second guesses herself occasionally," one tutor noted.

In Year 11 Biology, a student showed reluctance to voice questions about feedback loops, missing key points during discussions.

For a Year 7 maths task on linear patterns, the layout of working was messy and made errors harder to spot; "the way he sets out his working is a little hard to follow."

Meanwhile, a primary student avoided tackling nonstandard word problems, skipping those that felt too challenging.

Recent Achievements

One Surrey Downs tutor noted a Year 10 student who used to second-guess her answers is now trusting her instincts and checking her work more often, even taking the initiative to complete extra homework outside school.

Another high schooler, initially shy in physics sessions, started asking questions independently and celebrated a strong test result that really boosted her motivation.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who was hesitant about reading aloud now self-corrects spelling mistakes and read an entire chapter of The Faraway Tree during their session 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 City of Tea Tree Gully Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Surrey Downs Primary School.
