Effective communication is essential. This includes being able to explain concepts clearly and in a way that is easy to understand and being a good listener. Additionally, the ability to empathize with students and understand their challenges and frustrations can make a big difference in how they respond to tutoring. Tutoring often involves…

Tutor Banora Point, NSW
Not just tutor them, but be a friend. By opening up and developing a closer bond to students, the students feel more comfortable and it doesn't become a tutoring session, but just a study session. I went through the course(s) myself quite recently, so I understand what's expected on the students, and what they need to do to excel and not only get…

After studying for a long time, I concluded that when students engage with the topics, they tend to learn more easily. Therefore, the tutor must present the content in a creative and innovative way, seeking always feedback with the students on how much they are absorbing and only proceed when all the necessary foundations of the topic are clearly…

The most relevant things when it comes to tutoring are being able to connect with the student in a way that they feel motivated and find the help they need in order to learn. I believe students should have access to meaningful learning. I get along very well with children and teenagers and always find the way to motivate and encourage them to…

Other than helping a student genuinely understand the content in their course, I think that the most important thing a tutor can do for them is to help them in developing and implementing strategies to allow them to become independently successful. This may mean developing a better organisational process, implementing a system for completing tasks…

First thing should be rapport building because it is very important to gain the trust and confidence of the student. Second would be establishing a set of routine so that the time in each session is used up efficiently. Lastly, tutors should effectively motivate students in achieving their goals as well as inspire them to improve each day. My…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is help a student find and maintain their motivation and enthusiasm for learning. It is absolutely essential that a tutor review concepts, cover material, and ensure that a student is making progress, but is equally important for a tutor to make the learning experience positive for the student and…

Understanding self, and the acquisition of skill and knowledge are the most important things to give a student. Yes, the report card is an important ticket for students, and especially those in tutoring. But, all that knowledge will perish without use.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make them feel comfortable with the learning material and go up and beyond until they finally understand what they are learning. This requires patience, encouragement, and maybe a lot of explaining, but that is part of the job. I also think it is important to keep the student…

My daughter has found Jaylan to be patient and able to explain anything she is unsure about clearly. She says she feels more confident in her understanding of certain areas after her sessions with Jaylan.

Inside CobakiTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Willow focused on adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions as well as simplifying them through step-by-step written problems.

For Year 9, Jeremy reviewed Pythagoras' theorem and tackled measurement and geometry questions using practice exams to prepare for his semester assessment.

Meanwhile, Year 8 Mia explored algebra basics such as expanding brackets and solving equations with worksheets tailored to her new general maths class.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 exam preparation, one student focused on revising the basics across all curriculum areas but "wasn't prepared for the in-depth exam questions," leaving them uncertain during harder tasks.

A Year 9 algebra session revealed a habit of skipping feedback: despite encouragement to "show others her work," written solutions stayed private, so persistent errors went uncorrected.

In Year 7 English, another student's PowerPoint draft was left with formatting and spelling issues; editing was overlooked before submission.

Meanwhile, a primary student struggled to complete area calculations simply because paper was forgotten—so no working could be shown or checked that lesson.

Recent Achievements

One Cobaki tutoring session saw a high school student, Jeremy, move from hesitating with trigonometry to confidently tackling exam questions—he now attempts problems independently and only asks for help after giving it a real try.

Another tutor noted Willow's shift: where she once needed reminders about fraction methods, she now converts and compares fractions on her own, showing much more initiative during lessons.

In Year 6 English, Bella used to skip re-reading her writing but is now actively checking her sentences for grammar mistakes before finishing tasks; last week, she proofread her paragraph herself and made corrections without prompting.

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 Elanora Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Bilambil Public School.
