The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach them how to approach a problem. Before solving, being able to look at a problem and understand what is expected of them is crucial and often overlooked. As a student myself, I understand the challenges of being a student in a classroom filled with others. I am to quickly understand…

I think the most important thing s tutor can do for a student is explain the content well allowing for them to understand. This means not handing the answers to them on a silver platter, I believe that doing this has no help to the students. In order to be an efficient Tudor one must go through all the steps of the content. I like to think that I…

Therefore, it is important to create a safe and welcoming environment, while aiming to get the most of the student. I have excellent…

The most important thing is that the student feels comfortable with the tutor and that they enjoy their teaching sessions. As soon as the student is comfortable, they will be much more engaged in the task at hand. Students learn best when they enjoy the activities in class and when there is a mutual respect between the tutor and the tutee. I am…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is believe in them and their abilities.

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.
