I think the most important part about tutoring isn't necessarily what the student sees but behind the scenes. Being a tutor means understanding the expectations and goals that are set out for the student, this includes being up to date on the child's curriculum and being prepared to touch on topics the student has previously struggled with in…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to firstly be patient. It is important to match the students' pace especially in the first few interactions as earning their trust will go a long way in facilitating the teaching process. It is also vital to build the confidence of the students in order to help them overcome their mental…

I think the most important role a tutor has for their students is to provide them with confidence, being able to walk into an exam room confident in your abilities and knowledge is one of the biggest challenges. By helping students be confident it will not only immensely help them in exam rooms, but help them pave a pathway for themselves outside…

I think one of the most important things a tutor could do for their student is to never push them to work too hard or too fast. I also think it is extremely important for the tutor to be open-minded towards the student and take into account their preferences when working or learning. I think something else a tutor should always do for their…

Be a friend. This is how I was taught by my tutors and this is how I taught as well. If there is a deeper bond than that of just a student and teacher, the student really shines. The students open up more to the teacher. This helps the teacher to plan on how to help the student. I can understand what the student needs. I can connect with the…

Assist, and them let them do it. Give the tools, but let them build. At first when solving a problem or explaining a concept, the person hearing for the first time may find it hard to understand. However, for most STEM courses, consistency is the key. If the student learn this and understand that by doing it over and over, they will be able to do…

I believe it is important for a tutor to provide a wide range of examples for students to be able to grasp certain concepts. Furthermore, applications in the real world of the various concepts the students are learning are incredibly valuable, as it gives them a greater sense of purpose, knowing well what they are studying is not just to tick the…

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.
