Harold
Tutor Charlestown, NSW
Eventually get them to a level where they become self-sufficient and confident in their abilities to teach themselves as well as think for themselves. These are skills that will be required when going to university as often (in my experience) you cannot have the professor/tutor sit down with you and go through concepts you didn't comprehend. These…

Edwin
Tutor Wallsend, NSW
I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build understanding and confidence as well as encourage independent learning. Understanding comes from a tutor explaining concepts clearly and tailoring lessons to the student's learning style. When the students mistakes are seen as a learning opportunity by a tutor that is…

Cooper

Helping a student to enjoy a subject, or at the very least succeed, is a major thing to help them through school. Everyone has different needs, and a tutor helps accommodate those needs in an efficient way. Inspiration can go a long way, and improving their enjoyment of a subject may set them up for a future they love. When I tutored my friends in…

Saedy
Tutor Carrington, NSW
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…

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…

Local Reviews
Inside WickhamTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 4 student Ava practised division facts and explored angles by drawing diagrams to visualise different types.
In Year 9, Liam reviewed financial mathematics concepts such as simple and compound interest alongside algebraic equations in preparation for upcoming exams.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Zoe tackled the quadratic formula and methods for completing the square, focusing on how these apply to solving quadratic equations from recent assignments.
Recent Challenges
A Year 11 student in financial maths relied heavily on formulas, plugging in numbers without understanding the context or reasoning. As one tutor observed, "she enters numbers but doesn't know why a formula works," which led to confusion when faced with unfamiliar question styles.
Meanwhile, a Year 10 student's working out was often hard to follow—notes were jumbled and sometimes key steps missing, making it difficult for her to backtrack during revision.
In algebra, another senior student hesitated to attempt harder problems, preferring only familiar processes and skipping questions that appeared complex at first glance.
Recent Achievements
A recent Wickham tutoring session saw a Year 11 student, Danika, complete her homework ahead of time and actively organise questions from class to discuss—something she hadn't done before.
In Year 12, Liz has started confidently explaining her reasoning during challenging financial maths problems, even teaching back solutions to the tutor when there's disagreement—contrasting with her earlier reluctance to speak up.
Meanwhile, Lara in Year 7 is now attempting unfamiliar exam-style questions independently and asks for clarification only after making an honest attempt herself, showing a big shift from her previous habit of waiting for step-by-step guidance.
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 Hamilton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Francis Xavier's College.
