I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is create a comfortable and supportive environment where the student feels confident to ask questions and make mistakes. Learning really happens when students feel safe to try, even if they don’t get it right the first time. A tutor should also explain things in a way that makes sense to…

Software Dev Tutor Willoughby, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them in any way they can, this does not only apply in an academic sense but also in aspects of the students life (eg. dealing with stress, etc.) I can easily explain harder concepts in simpler terms, making it less intimidating for students when encountering new topics. Furthermore, my…

A good tutor should be able to adapt to each student's learning methodology and tailor the experience to address their weaknesses and hone their strengths. As an outgoing and perceptive person, I can make students feel comfortable around me. This subsequently enables me to assess their skills and help them…

I consider patience to be the most important virtue in a tutor, setting small checkpoints between certain topics is a good strategy. A tutor should always pause and ask if the student has any questions or doubts about the concept. A tutor should make the student feel comfortable around them and they should not hesitate to ask any questions - no…

Being able to step in the student's shoes and see how they are interpreting the concepts, and creating a tutoring basis to make it easier for them to understand. Being confident in what I know in regard to the subjects I am familiar with, allows me to correctly pass on my knowledge to others. But I am modest to see where I'm wrong and lacking,…

I also consider rapport building and connecting the subject matter with the interests of the student as some of the most important things a tutor can do for a student. Patience, creativity,…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are threefold: - offering explanations of and guidance for specific topics and skills - matching the learning levels of the student whereas the content discussed should neither be too easy nor too demanding - tutoring in a non-judgemental fashion whereas failures are treated as…

Teach in an understandable, motivating, and enjoyable way. Crucial factors for efficient learning (things as relibaility, punctuality and so on) are all obvious and mandatory to me. Finally, every student has his / her own ways of learning / understanding things, and it is clearly the job of the tutor to find out the most efficient one, to let the…

First is to teach the student not only what to do but why they do it. This results in greater retention and a sense of meaning toward what they are studying which has a great motivating effect. Second, is to base learning off practice questions. I believe experience is the best and fastest way to learn - thus i will focus on producing good…

This has not only allowed me to excel in my studies but has also filled my life with joy and wonder at the many things there are to learn and understand. This was given to me by my teachers and parents, and I think this is the best gift a teacher of any kind can give to a student. I have a solid…

Show the student how to learn something. If a tutor can explain another way of looking at problems so that the student understands how to approach them, its the most useful thing for them. I think that a great tutor will eventually make themselves unnecessary. I think that I am able to adapt quickly to students learning types, as well as…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them believe in their own ability to learn. When a student gains confidence, they become more willing to try, make mistakes, and keep going — and that’s when real progress happens. A tutor’s job isn’t just to explain concepts, but to create a safe space where 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.
