I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to foster confidence in their students to independently learn and build confidence in their skills. A tutor should also be able to inspire curiosity so that students become better learners in their field and ask questions. Lastly, the tutor should be flexible to personalise the…

A tutor needs to listen to a student, to understand what the best methods of learning will be, and needs to adapt their teaching to work for any student, rather than just forcing a student into a single mindset. I explain things very carefully, with multiple ways of looking at something, so I am quite flexible in trying to work with a student. I…

I believe a great tutor goes beyond just increasing a student's marks- they are able to act as a mentor and oversee a student's education holistically. For example, I also guided one of my previous students through his year 12 year, helping him with the university admissions process and scholarship applications, where he is now studying…

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…

In my opinion, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with a supportive and encouraging learning environment. This means taking the time to understand each student's unique needs, learning style, and interests, and tailoring the tutoring approach accordingly. A good tutor should also be patient and compassionate,…

The tutor needs to care about the student's learning. They need to understand the way each student learns best and mould their pedagogy to fit the student. The tutor needs to be able to recognise consistency in errors so that they can make the student aware of where they are going wrong and can help fix it. The tutor also needs to be patient and…

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…

I believe an important component of tutoring is patience, ensuring that the student completely understands the topic before moving on. This leads into following up. Following up the previous session for a couple of minutes in the next lesson is highly beneficial as the student can show their understanding of the topic, allowing the opportunity to…

I believe a tutor needs empathy. The tutor needs to make a targeted effort to understand their student.

Individual needs must be considered to facilitate realistic and…

Inside Tighes HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Tyler focused on adding and subtracting decimals and fractions, as well as rounding numbers up and down, using exercises from his school maths booklet in preparation for a grading exam.

For Year 10, recent lessons covered domain and range of functions—using simple graphs to visualise intervals—and solving simultaneous equations by rearranging formulas.

A senior student worked through financial mathematics topics including depreciation methods and calculating dividend yields for shares, alongside practicing simple and compound interest problems with real-life scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 Maths, a student's workbook was "a little more organised and tidy but we will work on that for next year"—messy layout slowed review of decimal multiplication and long division.

A Year 10 student struggled with confidence after a difficult practice test, losing track of which algebraic processes to use and mixing up rules; as the tutor noted, "Danika got a little confused with which processes to use and got them mixed up often."

In Extension 1 Maths, another student hesitated to attempt unfamiliar problems without prompting, replying "I don't know" too quickly instead of problem-solving aloud. This reluctance left some trigonometry revision unfinished.

Recent Achievements

One Tighes Hill tutor recently noticed Danika, a high school student, now regularly prepares questions from class ahead of sessions—whereas before she'd just wait for help—showing real initiative in her learning.

In another session, Liz was able to explain tricky z-score problems back to the tutor and confidently justify her answers, which is a big shift from earlier sessions where she hesitated to speak up about her thinking.

With a Year 6 student, Lara showed new persistence by tackling harder times tables under timed conditions; she used to give up quickly but this time kept working until personal best of 32 correct answers in 100 seconds.

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 Tighes Hill Public School.
