To be reliable and efficient. As a tutor, I need to be able to make sure that the student knows how I am going to help them. I believe that practice creates better students. Repetition of hard topics is also a must. A tutor needs to create a healthy relationship with the student in order to ensure that they can help them improve. This includes…

Tutor Seahampton, NSW
The purpose of a tutor is to provide a one-on-one learning experience; thus, a tutor should be able to adapt to their student's specific needs. A tutor needs to identify weak areas and improve them but also foster confidence in students strong areas. Obviously, a tutor should be well versed in the content that they're teaching. Please note,…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build understanding and confidence as well as encourage independent learning. Understanding comes from a tutor explaining concepts clearly and tailoring lessons to the student's learning style. When the students mistakes are seen as a learning opportunity by a tutor that is…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them develop their learning style. Students who are performing poorly in school need help to know the best learning style that is effective for them. As a tutor, exploring learning styles with the student is vital. Once students understand their learning style, they can progress…

I believe the best thing a tutor can do is to encourage their students and foster enthusiasm for learning, instead of looking at it as a chore, together we can build their toolbox of skills to take on the world. One of my greatest strengths when tutoring is that my wide range of experiences allows me to make tailored analogies to simplify concepts…

I believe if I can make a difference in the student's life such that they are at a better place from when I began teaching them and If I am actually able to see quantifiable results. Then it's really a win win for the both of us. I have very good foundational knowledge on things I prepare to teach. I have very good communication skills which makes…

To give extra help and attention to the student and make it easier for them to learn not just in the subject but also in other things.

Local Reviews

Kastaub was extraordinary as a tutor, and I fully intend to use him again and again in the future to assist Elijah in 3 unit maths. That initial 2hr session helped tremendously. Pls tell Kastaub that Elijah earned a 70% score in both the graphical equations tests! This was a fabulous result for him.

Inside ButtaiTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Olivia worked on addition and subtraction using the column method for large numbers up to hundred thousands, then explored basic probability concepts by relating them to real-life examples.

In Year 8, Ethan focused on algebra by factorising quadratic expressions and solving quadratic equations using both factorisation and the quadratic formula, before drafting an introduction for a short story as part of his English homework.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Mia practiced financial mathematics with PAYG tax calculations, gross versus net income, and applied her knowledge of indices to simplify negative and fractional powers in algebraic expressions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student became distracted and unfocused after an hour, making it hard to recall previously covered material in complementary angles; "she tended to guess when under time pressure," leading to errors in negative number problems.

In Year 10 English, a student avoided writing out essay plans or working for maths questions—this made their ideas unclear and sometimes hid calculation mistakes.

For senior Chemistry, not taking notes during video revision left gaps in understanding that slowed progress on practice tasks.

When homework was incomplete before lessons (Year 11 Maths), time had to be spent catching up rather than deepening skills.

Recent Achievements

Independently work through complex trigonometric identities—where he previously needed prompting, Rylan now explains his steps out loud and even checks his own methods for errors.

Annie, also in high school, took the initiative to gather over 100 survey responses for her research project within days and organised the data clearly without reminders—a big shift from earlier sessions where she hesitated to start.

Meanwhile, Shanayah (Year 7) began leading maths problem-solving herself this week; instead of waiting for guidance on each step, she suggested strategies and explained her reasoning as she worked.

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 East Maitland Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Black Hill Public School.
