I believe that a tutor should be extremely cautious in what they say; can everything be supported with a logical statement? Because the steps the tutors take to construct the answer are how the students learn from them, a tutor must prepare well and be confident and knowledgeable of what they are giving to the students. It's not about providing…

I think patience is the most important skill a tutor can have. Some students don't understand a concept right away, I had to have a concept explained to me multiple times before and if the tutor was patient I was not scared to ask. I think as I have been tutored before I knew what worked for me and what didn't so I could apply those ideas. This…

The most important thing a tutor can do is make the student passionate about their subject. If the student isn't motivated to learn, no amount of lecturing or assignments will help them. There are so many small things about each subject that are super interesting to learn about, but without the right tutor some students miss out. As a young tutor…

Working with students can be a challenge, especially if we're meeting to help them bring up low grades.

In the math problems that I create, I incorporate references to these interests. It…

In my opinion, a teacher must always be willing to learn those concepts for his students which they want to know. Also , a teacher must even provide them with some learning methods so that they can get grasp over any topic easily.

Inside BurraneerTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 Thomas reviewed addition, subtraction, telling time, basic shapes, and skip counting to assess his current maths level.

For Year 9 Maddie, recent sessions explored angle relationships such as co-interior, alternate, corresponding, supplementary, and complementary angles using visual examples.

Meanwhile, Year 10 James focused on solving algebraic equations where x is negative and practiced converting units for weight measurement.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 maths, a student often jumped straight to answers without showing working—he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors. This meant extra time was spent hunting for mistakes instead of progressing.

For a Year 12 humanities subject, one student collected sources after completing work rather than during research; as a result, it was harder to recall references when writing essays.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's untidy handwriting made numbers hard to read, occasionally causing confusion between 6 and 8 on division problems. In the moment, misreading their own work led to calculation slips and frustration.

Recent Achievements

During a Burraneer tutoring session, a high school student began to tackle complex equations independently after initially relying on step-by-step guidance; she's now explaining why each part works before moving forward.

Another tutor noticed a Year 11 student who once hesitated with probability now choosing to attempt harder revision problems unprompted and applying correct terminology throughout.

In humanities, Maiee, who previously struggled to connect sources with essay questions, is now matching evidence directly to rubric points and exploring how different perspectives could shape her argument.

Last week, she drafted an outline for an essay using her own source selections.

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 Cronulla Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Aloysius College Cronulla.
