I think communication is one of the most crucial skills. I believe every students, somehow, are capable of learning. So even though I don't have extraordinary skills to teach them, they will learn from my explanation. But I have to know where they are at the point of time to know exactly what and how I have to teach. Having an idea of what my…

Facilitate the comprehension of the concepts studied, a tutor is not there to do the homework by himself but rather to show a better way to do it and to provide help in understanding the concepts needed to carry out a homework or while studying for an exam. Very closely tied to this is the building of the student, edifying the student if you…

A tutor should not just teach, but they should listen to their students, seek feedback and use that to improve their teaching. It is important to develop trust with students so that they feel comfortable asking questions, expressing their concerns and identifying topics that they may want to strengthen. In doing so, the tutor can gain a greater…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is awaken curiosity and interest in the student.

Inside ClontarfTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Jaida focused on surface area and volume formulas, then practised strategies for algebraic fractions and coordinate geometry.

For Year 9, Amelie worked through surds—including simplifying, multiplying/dividing, and rationalising denominators—alongside revision of trigonometry concepts like bearings and angle calculations using diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Lilly strengthened her addition, subtraction, multiplication and division skills by tackling homework errors and used times tables games to boost recall speed for upcoming topics.

Recent Challenges

He needs to keep using steps and formulas provided, after seeing working skipped in algebra problems—this led to confusion when reviewing errors later.

In Year 11, one student arrived without a calculator or notes for trigonometry revision; the missing materials slowed progress, as key steps couldn't be practiced independently.

A Year 6 lesson highlighted the need for clearer written working: Ensuring she writes down questions and working out in a way she can understand would help her revisit tricky area and volume problems before tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Clontarf recently noticed some great shifts across a few students. One Year 11 student, who previously hesitated to speak up, now regularly asks questions when tackling tricky calculus problems and even challenged the tutor on certain methods to better understand the "why" behind solutions.

A Year 9 student surprised herself by completing her maths assignment ahead of schedule for the first time, showing new independence and avoiding last-minute stress.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student started correcting her own mistakes while practicing times tables—where she used to just wait for hints—finishing her worksheet without needing prompts.

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 Mosman Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Balgowlah Heights Public School.
