The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be open to other methods and understanding that everyone is unique in the areas they struggle with and everyone's solutions to this are unique as well. Being patient with students allows them to work at a pace they feel comfortable with, this will allow them to find enjoyment in the…

A tutor can do a lot of important things on behalf of a student. One of the most important things is helping students to have a good understanding of the theory parts and apply those practically and also interpret those in their day-to-day life. By doing so, they will be able to achieve good grades for their exams as well. There are a lot of…

Support the student in their learning and help to not only understand their current learning content but also give them the skills to learn independently in the future. I believe I have a few strengths as a tutor that help me. The first of these strengths is my ability to teach a topic in numerous ways. Another is being able to communicate and…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is build a student’s confidence. It’s not just about helping them get the right answer, but helping them believe they’re capable of getting there on their own. A tutor should also create a supportive environment where the student feels safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn at…

As someone who has personally had a tutor in recent years, I understand the most important things a tutor can do for a student is being patient and understanding. Being able to adapt learning styles and being flexible with each child's different pace, is an important aspect of tutoring. I will put in lots of hard work to constantly improve my…

In my experience tutoring students, as well as being a student myself, I believe a person needs to do four main things in order to be a good tutor; they need to be able to assess what their students are lacking, know what you can do to improve on their skills, communicate well, and boost the overall confidence of the student and the confidence…

Inside AvondaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sophia worked on strengthening her multiplication and subtraction skills, as well as reading time and handling simple data questions using visual examples.

For Year 9, Cailyn practised combining operations with fractions—including division and subtraction—and then applied these to algebraic substitutions with decimal numbers.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Nicholas reviewed financial mathematics by tackling problems involving deposits and simple interest, followed by practice with real-life scenarios like vehicle registration fees.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student was hesitant to show working when tackling algebra, often saying "I can do this in my head," but hidden sign errors crept in, slowing progress.

In Year 8 maths, one learner relied heavily on calculators for fractions and area conversions; this masked gaps in understanding unit changes and formatting answers.

Another senior student showed difficulty recalling linear equation rules between lessons—without regular review or written notes, the same mistakes resurfaced.

For a Year 7 class, untidy setting out and skipping steps during substitution led to confusion over negatives. This meant precious time was lost correcting old errors rather than building new skills.

Recent Achievements

One Avondale tutoring session saw a Year 11 student, Daniel, shift from hesitating over tax instalment questions to independently reworking problems until he got them right—he'd previously needed constant prompting.

Meanwhile, Chelsea in Year 10 had struggled with index laws but now applies them confidently across multiplication, division, and brackets without reminders.

A younger student, Mia, who used to get frustrated and avoid tough subtraction problems, recently stuck with a challenging question until she solved it and then asked for more practice.

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 Dapto District Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Dapto Public School.
