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…

Science Tutor Oak Flats, NSW
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,…

Being available for your students is the most significant thing any tutor can do. Just being available alone is not the thing, you must also be able to communicate with them in order to understand where they are facing difficulties while learning. Understand their problems and provide the best solution for them to catch things better. A single…

Be considerate, patient, understanding, and non-judgemental. It can be very hard to accept help in the first place, and being made to feel like you're failing or a burden is only going to make that harder. I work to understand how their mind works so I can explain in a way they will best understand. I am also very patient, particularly with those…

When you're a tutor, students are like children to us. Nothing is more valuable than our children. Everything we do, every good aspect we think of still feel less for our children. That's how I see myself as a tutor As a tutor I feel I can connect with the students more deeply as I have been studying human psychology for a long period of time and…

Allow them to figure it out themselves. Giving them the answer is detrimental and they aren't actually learning. Providing clues, hints or simply even breaking questions down into sub questions allows them to approach concepts and questions more easily and break it down into manageable chunks. Being able to approach problems and issues from…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is build a student’s confidence. It’s not just about helping them get the right answer, but helping them believe they’re capable of getting there on their own. A tutor should also create a supportive environment where the student feels safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn at…

1. Remaining patient with the student no matter what so as to encourage them to keep working on a problem rather than feel discouraged by a minor setback. This should be achieved by positive talk and reinforcing the importance of clarifying concepts to the student. 2. Praising new achievements of the student to ensure that they feel encouraged to…

A tutor shouldn’t just repeat what a students been taught by their teacher.

Make their students feel comfortable (e.g; polite conversation), this thus allows the student to voice their concerns and allows the tutor to adjust what they are teaching and how they are doing so. Don’t rush the process and ensure the student is confident in areas of concern before brushing into another concept. I just recently graduated…

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.
