A tutor can inspire a student to learn more and be inquisitive. Making the student ask more questions and grasp the concepts, are the major things a tutor can do for a student. I am patient when it comes to teaching students. Each student is different in their academic potential, as such, I can assess the best path for the student so that they…

Among the most crucial things a tutor should be doing is helping their students build confidence by creating a supportive environment where they feel comfortable asking questions and looking past their self-doubt. I also believe that a great tutor should be able to adapt their approach to match the student they are tutoring, as every person learns…

My main focus is to not just explain the content in a way they really understand the principles behind it and it would not just be memorising the content on the student's part. I also believe that connecting with the student can help the teaching learning process a lot. I am a very understanding person in general. So I am most of the time capable…

I feel the strengths as a tutor are to help my students to set a high expectation, which motivates them to work towards that. Another strength would be to be honest and transparent with students about how to succeed. And as a tutor, it is our duty to make sure that students know you believe in them and want them to succeed. I'm a team player. I…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to get a proper understanding of the level of mathematical 'maturity' of a specific student, rather than just assuming a certain background knowledge. Once this is established, it's possible to get the core of what exactly a student is struggling with (usually a particular fundamental concept) and…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to open a rapport that makes them feel safe and understood, an environment where they are not afraid to try and even not afraid to fail, in the knowledge that with help and direction they can try again and do better. With the acceptance that 1 style (or even 10 styles!) of teaching…

It is very important as a tutor to understand your student. Be his silent friend and connect with him. Read his mental abilities, his interest, observe his qualities and disabilities, his way of learning things. And then try to impart the teaching depending on all these factors. Each student is different and so is the method of teaching. Teaching…

They should develop practices that make a student's life easier and should understand the individual needs of the students. Often tutors have to…

Inside BurnsideTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Armando worked on comparing fractions and decimals using number lines, as well as converting between units.

For Year 10, Ella focused on surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes like spheres and prisms, applying formulas to practical problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jay revised bivariate statistics by interpreting residual plots and working through exponential regression questions from a revision guide.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 maths, one student's working was described as "hard to follow," with cramped handwriting and inconsistent labelling—making it easy to lose track during matrix problems.

A Year 11 student left several assignment requirements unclear until the last minute; as a tutor noted, "he needs to check the task sheet closely before submitting."

Meanwhile, in Year 7 algebra, skipping written steps when simplifying expressions led to repeated errors with negatives.

For a primary learner, focus drifted quickly during longer tasks—work became untidy and mistakes crept in as attention waned near the end of each session.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Burnside noticed that a Year 10 student who used to hesitate when stuck on algebraic problems now confidently asks for help as soon as something isn't clear, rather than guessing or staying silent.

In another session, a Year 12 student independently scored B+ on his first two practice exams and pinpointed areas he wants to improve, showing real ownership over his learning.

Meanwhile, a younger student who'd previously relied heavily on reminders is now tackling worksheets mostly solo and only seeks clarification when truly needed. Last week, she remembered how to convert decimals to percentages and got every question right on her class test.

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 Burnside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Burnside Primary School.
