Modern History Tutor Erskineville, NSW
One of the most important thing a tutor can do for a student, is not only make the subject fun and easier to understand but to make the student believe in himself/herself. Most of the students, do not feel very confident in their own understanding of the subject and hesitate to participate in class discussions. I believe by making the student…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do are build trust, encourage genuine confidence, and teach students how to learn independently. It's not just about helping them get through one subject or assignment, it's about giving them the skills and self-belief they can carry with them into everything else they do. I think my main strengths…

The most important thing that a tutor can do at first, is build a rapport and a relationship of trust. In order to connect with a student, a tutor must be able to forge a strong connection that is much the same as a mentor to a younger generation. Further from this, a tutor must be able to assess the genuine ability of a student - this is crucial,…

Modern History Tutor Redfern, NSW
The most important thing in my opinion is to not only be able to guide students to the correct answer, but also make them feel accomplished and enjoy the process of knowing nothing to all the knowledge they need in school. At the same time, a tutor have to be respectful at all times. Some of my strengths as a tutor are that I am great with…

A tutor needs to be able to make sessions engaging and enjoyable so their students will want to come back to each lesson.

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to give them one-on-one attention which allows for a better understanding of the individual student and what learning methods work for them. By working on their study, it helps them go at their pace and gives them more confidence in the classroom. I think my strengths are in creativity,…

I believe that the tutor's purpose is not to make the student rely on them, but rather to give them the tools to figure things out for themselves. Tutors need to be able to communicate easily and coherently, in order to ensure that the student can understand. I believe I am patient and willing to work at something until the other person…

Teach obviously! but i think if the tutor can make the lessons as fun as possible so that the student looks forward to them as something enjoyable rather than as purely work, the best results will occur.

I believe being able to relate and support your student is the most fundamental aspect of tutoring, as it allows you to effectively gauge where they are struggling and excelling.

Improved results! The tutor is always on time, very helpful and patient with my daughter and really has built her confidence and skills in maths. Her grades have improved as a direct result of tutoring
Maria, Botany

Inside BotanyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Andre worked on algebra revision and solved practice problems using the quadratic formula, then applied the interest formula (IPRT) to worded questions.

For Year 9, Chloe tackled Pythagoras' theorem and trigonometry concepts, including sine and cosine relationships while completing her maths assignment.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Lily focused on revising equations with one unknown and practised geometry involving triangles in preparation for her upcoming school exam.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student repeatedly hesitated with worded maths problems, often "getting nervous and abandoning her first strategy if it took too long." This avoidance led to incomplete solutions, especially in multi-step geometry or pie chart tasks.

In senior English, a Year 11 student did not bring drafts for discursive essays, making it impossible to review and edit structure or elevate language mid-lesson; as one tutor noted, "access to writing before the lesson is essential."

In Year 9 algebra revision, another student preferred working in cramped spaces rather than spreading out their calculations—errors became harder to spot and correct on crowded pages.

Recent Achievements

One Botany tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to freeze up on unfamiliar geometry questions now starts each problem by talking aloud and underlining only the key information, which has helped her tackle even multi-step problems without reminders.

In a recent high school English session, another student took the initiative to edit her discursive essay before the lesson, so she could focus solely on refining her reflection during tutoring—something she hadn't done independently before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who struggled with division now solves these problems more easily after adopting a new method and explaining his steps out loud.

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 Mascot Library (incl. the George Hanna Memorial Museum)—or at your child's school (with permission), like Botany Public School.
