As a tutor's job is to be supplementary to a students learning, the most vital role a tutor can fulfill is to be sympathetic and understanding to a student's situation, and to be adaptive in the way they assist the student in order to maximise their potential. My communication skills allow me to help students understand complex topics and how they…

A tutor has to be able to not only teach them content but able to support students on an emotional and cognitive level as they progress through a subject/s that they may not like or are uncomfortable with as they have had bad memories of the subject. As a tutor, it's integral that we can offer a holistic, effective approach to tutoring in order to…

Personally, a tutor is someone outside of school who the student can rely on for their studies. Students show their vulnerability here so that tutor can build them to be strong at school. So a tutor can help the student be strong on their subjects and understand the subject with life. Understanding the student on what they need first and being…

I always find people learn best when they're comfortable and truly believe they can master the concept. Therefore, I would say the most important thing for a tutor is to build a mutual respect with their student. From there encouragement, communication, and teaching is much easier. Although I have a good knowledge off mathematics and the sciences,…

A student can only work to the best of their capacity and achieving this efficiency is the advantaged of personalised education.

A tutor should be able to assess and listen exactly to students' hardships in the subject. From there, build on ways to simplify the issue.

A tutor, fundamentally, serves a purpose to give the student additional knowledge or hone their pre existing knowledge. To achieve this, not only academic aptitude is highly pivotal, a strong and individual-catered means of transferring said intelligence is vital.

Inside ClevelandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Cailyn revised multiplication and division strategies and began exploring fractions using practical examples.

For Year 9, Daniel tackled linear equations involving negative numbers and fractions, then practised plotting points on a Cartesian plane and calculating perimeters.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Nicholas worked through trigonometry problems focusing on sine, cosine, and tangent ratios for right-angled triangles, using step-by-step calculations to find unknown sides or angles.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 mathematics, a reluctance to show full working on paper led to confusion in algebra and inverse cosine problems; as one tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

For a Year 8 student tackling fractions and unit conversions, calculator formatting issues and hesitancy to use the calculator created barriers when converting units like cm to km.

Meanwhile, in Year 3 arithmetic sessions, forgetting multiplication facts slowed progress—she would often guess answers rather than recall methods. The result: time lost re-explaining concepts or tracking down small but critical mistakes.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Cleveland noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitation, now proactively asks for tougher algebra questions and refers back to her notes independently when she gets stuck.

In one recent high school session, another student who previously doubted her abilities tackled HSC-level network concepts confidently and even volunteered to explain her approach out loud—something she'd avoided before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who used to give up on tricky subtraction problems now persists until she finds the answer and eagerly tries new strategies without waiting 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 Dapto District Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Dapto Public School.
