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…

The most important thing a tutor can do for students is to help them develop a strong understanding of the concepts they are studying. Tutors must be able to communicate key information and complex or abstract ideas, simplifying and translating it in a way that the student can understand. A tutor should assist students in being able to apply…

Tutor Kangaroo Point, NSW
A tutor or at least a teacher is someone who can give students a helping hand, perhaps a friend is too informal but someone they can relate to. I think being able to understand your student and what makes them improve or how they can improve is also essential as a tutor and a teacher. It is useless to spoon feed facts and knowledge to a student if…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to enable a student with essential skills, both related to subject taught, as well as life skills. In this way, the student can go on to become an independent learner. My strengths are in being able to put myself in the child's shoes and explain the way he/she wants it. My weakness is that I often give…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to practice empathy in order to ensure the student knows they're in a safe environment where they are allowed to make mistakes and learn from them.

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.
