Nick
Physics Tutor Clovelly West, NSW
The most important things a physics tutor can do for a student is to put them on a path to independent learning. I believe that a tutor should teach essential skills to students and assist the student in understanding concepts which will consequently allow students to solve problems on their own. I think my strengths as a tutor would include:

Besides teaching concepts and helping students solve problems, I believe the most important thing a physics tutor can do is to motivate students.

Motivating them is probably the most important, as students can be brilliant but fall behind quickly if they do not have the drive to improve.

Inside Clovelly WestTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
