One of the most important things a tutor can do is create a supportive and encouraging learning environment. To achieve this, a tutor must possess key qualities such as adaptability, effective communication, and confidence. Since every student learns differently, tutors must adjust their methods to meet individual needs. Clear communication is…

Biology Tutor Beecroft, NSW
Being patient with the student as they work through the question, and helping them with whatever they don't understand about the situation. Patience is key as it is frustrating at times when you don't understand a question and don't have the helping hand of teachers or anyone you can rely on. I have been through these times, and i want to help…

Try to help them gain a good, comprehensive understanding of concepts that they don't quite understand as at school, the teacher does not have time to individually help out every student. I believe it is very important as a tutor to not come off as condescending and annoyed but rather take a very friendly approach as trust and the student feeling…

I think it is most important for a tutor to make the learning experience enjoyable for a student, because in my experience even the worst subject with the most innane course material can be made much better with a tutor that you actually like, that likes the subject, and presents it clearly. I know I am good at interacting with my students,…

I use learning styles that complement the student I am teaching, as opposed to a "one size fits all"…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is help them understand concepts that may seem impossible to them because they can then view learning in a completely different viewpoint. This helps them have an open mind towards learning instead of viewing it as something tedious. As such, being understanding and empathetic…

A tutor should provide a student a "light-bulb" moment, where they suddenly understand a concept, gain an idea or know how to answer a question. Light-bulb moments allow students to gain confidence in the subject, and thus achieve the goal of a higher mark. I believe it is also important for tutors to provide tips for dealing with stress,…

Local Reviews

The information on the website was incredibly helpful to find a tutor / read profiles. Communication once contacted was very prompt and professional as well as supportive in terms of our special requirements. Although the tutor we had chosen wasn't available they provided us with another tutor option who was perfect. The ongoing follow up and support resources have been a great asset to our new tutoring journey.

Inside CherrybrookTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Aanya worked on addition and subtraction of fractions as well as finding fractions of quantities, using number lines to support understanding.

In Year 8, Sam tackled linear equations and practiced solving two- and three-step equations, along with revising ratios and rates in preparation for an upcoming assessment.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student James focused on HSC Chemistry past papers, specifically refining skills in Module 6 calculations and analyzing Module 7 reaction pathways.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student often avoided writing out working for algebra and fractions, saying, "I can do this in my head"—but missed marks on questions that required clear steps.

For a Year 9 learner preparing for a test, unfinished practice papers meant tricky word problems remained unmastered; as one tutor noted, "he needed to finish more practice tests to feel ready."

In senior Chemistry (Year 12), long response answers were incomplete because not all components of the marking criteria were addressed, resulting in lost exam points despite sound content knowledge. The pressure of time left some key details omitted.

Recent Achievements

A Cherrybrook tutoring session saw a Year 9 student, who'd previously needed reminders to apply strategies for fraction-to-decimal conversion, independently use the right method after just a brief review.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student who often hesitated with multi-step chemistry calculations managed several complex Mod 6 problems without prompting—an improvement from earlier sessions where step-by-step guidance was needed throughout.

For a younger primary student, one tutor noted that subtraction and addition are now completed solo rather than requiring hints at each step; last week he finished all his set questions without asking for help.

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 Pennant Hills Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like John Purchase Public School.
