A tutor should be fair and promote independent thinking rather than just giving answers. Encouraging students to analyze problems, develop strategies, and build logical reasoning skills is essential. Another key role is boosting confidence—many students struggle not due to a lack of ability, but self-doubt. By providing structured learning,…

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…

Tutors are there to solidify the concepts that the student has already learned and to ensure that these concepts are understood in the way they work and interact with other aspects of the subject.

The most important skill a tutor can impart to a student is the method of reasoning. Often, students who struggle in logical subjects lack the skill to reason why a particular answer is correct or incorrect. I believe this reasoning can be developed with a tutor. A one-on-one interaction helps the tutor identify the missing links in the student's…

I believe that for a student, having someone who can understand and convey concepts in a relational way (not instructional) is so important to a true understanding of the content. When working with students, being a person of support and pushing where they can but not overwhelming the student is an integral aspect of their growth. Furthermore,…

Get them feeling comfortable with the fundamentals of what they are struggling with and create a deep-level understanding of the topic. Most importantly, teach them how to think, not what to think.

Yue has been tutoring my daughter for over a month and things are going well. My daughter enjoys working with Yue and finds her patient and easy to work with. Yue is great with her communication and always responsive when I have contacted her in between sessions. We look forward to continuing tutoring with Yue.

Inside BrownsvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Cailyn consolidated her understanding of dividing and subtracting fractions, then extended this by practising algebraic substitutions involving decimals and like terms.

In Year 10, Daniel worked through financial mathematics topics such as calculating simple interest and motor vehicle registration costs, alongside revising questions about VATs and straight-line depreciation.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Nicholas focused on trigonometry using SOHCAHTOA for unknown sides in right-angled triangles, and also reviewed bearings problems to support his exam preparation.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student hesitated to use their calculator when stuck on fractions, leading to time lost "deciphering the formatting" rather than focusing on problem-solving.

In Year 10, one student kept working in their head during algebra and rarely showed full steps; as a tutor noted, "it was difficult knowing where she was stuck if she kept her process contained within her mind."

For a senior English assignment, difficulty planning paragraphs meant that arguments often lacked cohesion, especially when writing resumed after a break—earlier sentences were forgotten, and ideas disconnected mid-task.

Recent Achievements

One Brownsville tutor noticed Daniel, a high school student, is now reworking maths problems independently to check for accuracy—a big shift from needing reminders to double-check.

In another session, Nicholas has started structuring his English essays effectively around the most relevant characters instead of including everyone, making his analysis much sharper and more focused than before.

For Year 3 student Ariana, she's moved beyond just memorising multiplication tricks: she now uses them confidently in classwork without prompting and has begun tackling division with success.

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 Kanahooka High School.
