The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to learn with the students. In my experience, students are much more likely to engage with the lessons and motivated to excel if they feel that they are learning together with the tutor. My key strengths as a tutor are: 1. I excel at explaining complex concepts in an easy-to-understand…

The most important thing that I can do as a tutor would be to make sure the kid understands everything that I teach. Each kid is different. Finding the right teaching style for that kid and teaching as such will make the kid more involved into the subject and makes learning fun. I am a very good observer and an active listener. I make sure I tend…

The most important thing for a tutor is that they explicitly explain concepts to a student. This should be done in a way that makes the most intuitive sense to the student. Also, for me, it is essential that a tutor, as well as teaching students, teaches them how to study by themselves and how to teach themselves. This should be done by providing…

I think, the main part is understanding. Tutor should help students in understanding of the concepts and their purpose. Secondly, tutor should be understanding, so that he/she serves students according to their needs as different students have different ways of visualising things. Thirdly, tutor should help in planning of the subject so that…

I believe a tutor needs to be able to listen to their student in order to achieve progress. Unlike a teacher, who is dedicated to ensuring the whole class has been taught the curriculum, a tutor's role is to help their student in any and all areas they are struggling, going beyond the syllabus to provide more personalised, accessible assistance to…

I think that understanding why a student is struggling is the most important thing a tutor can do. A student may be struggling with the subject itself or may be struggling with a specific concept. Additionally there may be external factors creating conflicts for the student. Being able to listen and relate has helped me become a great teacher in…

Make them believe in themselves. We might be teaching them just a subject, but it should not just be restricted to that. Picking real world examples to teach them a topic which they can later relate to or use, comes in handy. I have been a student and am currently one too, so it makes it easier for me to connect with them and for them to be honest…

Inside CamperdownTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Daniel practised solving simultaneous equations and tackled algebraic word problems, focusing on setting up equations from written scenarios.

In Year 11, Chloe reviewed financial maths topics such as annuities and recursion, alongside graphing parabolas and factorising quadratic expressions using worked examples.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student explored maximisation and minimisation of functions in calculus, working through optimisation questions and interpreting their results in real-world contexts.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Science, a student mixed up units and directions for electric field lines, making it difficult to answer application questions accurately.

For a Year 10 Physics session, confusion over which equations applied to specific problems slowed progress—"he needed reminders to pick the right formula," noted one tutor.

In Year 12 Maths, another struggled with laying out each calculation step clearly, leading to "numbers getting confused in his head" during trig questions. These moments meant extra time spent retracing steps instead of building confidence for upcoming assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Camperdown tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who used to freeze up when faced with hard calculus problems; now, he's confidently tackling challenging sequences and series questions from past papers without hesitation.

In another session, a Year 10 student who previously guessed her way through graphing tasks started breaking down each question methodically—she now asks clarifying questions instead of rushing ahead.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who struggled to finish maths exercises alone was able to complete every problem independently for the first time last week.

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 Newtown Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Newtown North Public School.
