Make them feel at ease and completely supported, be gentle and caring and show incredibly strong belief in them. I know that children feel more courageous to take on new challenges if they feel someone has a lot of confidence in them. You have to really care about them and their results, so they know the help they are getting is genuine. I have…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is ensure the tutor works towards the students strengths and attempts to minimise their weaknesses. Tutors should also be considerate to their student by considering their needs and how they like to learn so that their student's highest potential is achieved. I believe I am patient, flexible,…

Tutor Stanwell Park, NSW
I consider the tutors passion and enthusiasm towards a subject can have a positive impact on how the student receives the information. When a tutor is enthusiastic on the content they are teaching, this transfers to the student. I am patient and try to break down complex content ideas into manageable ideas. From experience, I have learnt this is…

It is essential to foster independence and confidence in a student’s learning journey. This involves helping them grasp concepts and equipping them with effective study strategies + problem-solving skills to apply across subjects. Equally important is creating a space where students feel supported & motivated, encouraging them to stay engaged…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to guide the student rather than simply tell them what to do. Especially in subjects like maths, I think it is the theory behind every topic that is most important and is something that I would make sure the student fully understands before jumping into exercises. That way, when it…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is create a safe environment where the student feels comfortable to try things without fear of being wrong.

Everything's been great and Lara's been a great help to Robine with her maths.

Inside CliftonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student James focused on solving linear equations and practiced applying Pythagoras' theorem to exam-style questions.

Year 10 student Priya worked through simultaneous equations using substitution, then reviewed sketching graphs of quadratic functions with real examples.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Sam revised converting between decimals, fractions and percentages, and tackled worded problems involving percentage calculations for homework review.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student dodged the question of homework towards the end of the lesson, which meant some key reading practice was missed.

In Year 10 algebra, skipping steps and assuming pronumerals followed the same order as earlier questions led to hidden errors—one tutor noted, "attention to detail, especially with pronumerals, slipped when problems changed format."

A senior maths student struggled to recall older content once new topics were introduced, so attempts at complex graphing broke down mid-way.

During a primary session, reluctance to show working in subtraction caused repeated mistakes that took extra time to untangle before moving on.

Recent Achievements

One Clifton tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 9 student who used to avoid asking for help when stuck; now, after working through recent algebra challenges together, he openly points out where he gets lost and asks the tutor to explain.

Another high schooler, Erin, initially struggled with choosing between elimination and substitution in simultaneous equations but recently solved several problems independently—something she hadn't managed before.

In primary sessions, Max has started reading aloud from unfamiliar books with fewer pauses and even volunteered to try trickier words on his own during last week's lesson.

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 Helensburgh Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Scarborough Public School.
