Being able to adjust teaching methods to best work with the student as some may not respond the best to the methods taught in a class room so finding a different approach can be extremely beneficial. I am understanding of the struggles which come with learning in challenging environments. I have a deep understanding for the multitude of ways…

Be understanding and empower them. IF they are struggling, the ability to stop them from being frustrated or minimize it is the most important skill other than being good at explaining concepts. And empowering a student to make them believe they can accomplish what they want is the goal of tutoring. I'm very calm so when they seem to be struggling…

The most important thing that a tutor can do at first, is build a rapport and a relationship of trust. In order to connect with a student, a tutor must be able to forge a strong connection that is much the same as a mentor to a younger generation. Further from this, a tutor must be able to assess the genuine ability of a student - this is crucial,…

To boost confidence. Most likely, tutors will not teach a student a lot of new information. For subjects like math, students instead take what confuses them in school, and drill it over and over with a tutor until it becomes second nature. For English, tutors can help students create outlines, double check their work, and make sure they are on the…

Practically, the vital thing a tutor can do is almost entirely dependent on who the student is. By that I mean, a tutor must figure out how their student learns, thinks, how confident are they to gauge how to cater to them. However, the essential things tutors must do is firstly, enable the students to understand themselves better, so that outside…

Empathy is key. If a tutor can show how learning certain topics can help a student in the future, it keeps the student's interest held in the subject for longer. What really helps is to periodically give some positive feedback to the student about their progress - how he or she has improved in the past 3 months, or month, for example. Because of…

I consider that the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to make them feel confident going to class every day and not feel that they are behind their class as well as look forward to an exam to share all of their knowledge with the markers rather than dread an exam, also reducing their stress and encouraging them to enjoy school.…

Inside ClovellyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Oliver focused on converting between decimals and fractions as well as simplifying mixed and improper fractions.

For Year 9, Ava worked through compound interest calculations and compared simple versus compound investments using value tables.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Jack tackled factorisation methods in algebra along with more complex problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions by applying factorisation strategies.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student tackling trigonometry found multi-step sine and cosine rule questions challenging when working alone; the tutor noted, "he needed guidance to find relevant angles," revealing a struggle to persist through complex problems without support.

In Year 11 Maths, worded income tax and commission problems proved overwhelming—questions with dense text led to missed steps and confusion.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student's written work remained difficult to follow due to unorganized note-taking in probability tasks: "notes were scattered across the page."

Not putting pen to paper during homework left gaps that made it tough for tutors to pinpoint sources of confusion.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Clovelly noticed a Year 9 student who used to avoid asking for help now openly requests clarification when stuck, especially with factorisation questions—an important shift from silent guessing.

In Year 11, one student recently corrected their own homework errors after carefully reviewing feedback, showing genuine independence that wasn't there before.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner who had struggled with long division earlier in the year has begun explaining solution steps out loud while working through problems and now completes them confidently without guidance. Last session, they finished an entire worksheet alone.

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 Randwick Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Anthony's Catholic Primary School.
