Explain concepts well and set a good foundation for their learning. Additionally, the most important thing a tutor should do is encourage and teach them how to learn by themselves. Instead of only teaching the necessary information, they should try to teach students how to have fun while learning in order for them to be self-motivated, a highly…

I think it is important for the tutor to influence the student to be more enthusiastic towards his studies. It is easier to learn stuff with focus and the right attitude. The tutor has to try and make sessions interesting. Also, at the end of the day, the student must not be dependent on the tutor. As a tutor, you know you have succeeded when once…

Local Reviews
Inside Balgowlah HeightsTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 7 student Jerry worked on converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages, then applied these skills to problems involving GST and profit/loss, and also practised writing equations for linear relationships using tables of values.
Year 9 student Amelie focused on mastering surd simplification, multiplication/division, and rationalising denominators, and completed summary notes for key topics like indices and quadratics as part of her assessment preparation.
Meanwhile, Year 12 student Clara revised loans and annuities in financial maths ahead of an exam, tackled network problems involving minimum-cut/maximum-flow theorems, and reviewed standard deviation questions in normal distribution using formula sheets.
Recent Challenges
In Year 8 maths, one student often avoided writing out full working in algebra and geometry problems; as a tutor noted, "he lost marks in his exam as he did not show his working out." This meant that even correct answers couldn't earn maximum credit.
In Year 12 financial maths, another student sometimes brought incomplete notes or forgot key materials like her calculator, making it harder to apply concepts independently during lessons.
When a student skipped homework attempts before sessions, the opportunity for deeper revision and targeted feedback was lost—especially leading up to tests when problem-solving skills mattered most.
Recent Achievements
One Balgowlah Heights tutor noticed that Jerry, a high school student, has started double-checking his working out and now asks for help only after attempting challenging questions himself—a big shift from when he'd get stuck and wait for guidance.
In another session, Clara took the initiative to complete several past papers on her own before her exams, showing much more independence in her study routine than earlier in the term.
Meanwhile, Lilly (Year 4) has begun recognising and correcting her own times tables mistakes during "Hit the Button," instead of guessing or waiting for answers.
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 Mosman Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Cecilia's Catholic Primary School.
