Tutor Collaroy Plateau, NSW
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for their student is be patient and to never give up on the student. I am patient and am not easy to frustrate. I am also able to communicate concepts in a number of ways until a student is able to understand the…

Tutor Narraweena, NSW
Having both been the tutee and the tutor, I believe that it is imperative that a tutor is supportive of the student and caters their teaching to the student's specific needs. Tutoring is only truly effective when the student is completely engaged with the tutor and I believe that this can only happen when the student believes that they are in an…

Tutor Beacon Hill, NSW
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to support them without judgement. Whether that support comes in smaller forms of teaching students concepts they may struggle with or encouraging students to not give up. As a tutor I think my greatest strengths are bringing in a passion and enjoyment for the subjects I tutor and…

By clarifying concepts and questions carefully step-by-step, tutors make learning approachable. Positive reinforcement for progress while setting and tracking achievable goals offers clear…

Tutor Warriewood, NSW
I believe the most important aspect of tutoring is targeting a student's goal in a subject, whether that be just passing or scoring 100%, and teaching them at that level, whilst providing that extra push to potentially help them succeed above these goals. In doing so, I believe this allows students to engage more with the work and see strong…

Tutor Queenscliff, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to increase their confidence, so that even if they are struggling with a concept/ problem they know that they can achieve a solution and that they have the skills to do so. It is important that the student feels that they can achieve their goals after you have stopped tutoring them. I am a…

I think a tutor should be capable of answering any questions discussing any uncertainties that a student may have. These should be explained clearly and if the student does not understand initially, the tutor should continue to explain in alternate ways (e.g. rewording sentences and visual aids such as diagrams) until the student understands. In…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to establish their confidence, give them the attention, teach the most efficient strategies to succeed in the exam with the least lessons. Students can't succeed in their exam is because there are so-called 'good students' in their class, for multiple reasons, their teachers don't actually…

Above tutoring a student, I believe a tutor should be a role model; They should inspire a love for learning. Furthermore, the tutor should build a relationship to build trust so that the lessons don't seem forced and uncomfortable. I am organised, passionate, kind, caring, patient, friendly, personable, honest, reliable, hard-working and…

Inside Collaroy PlateauTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Lily practised times tables, addition, and subtraction through homework tasks, as well as tackling word problems for improved comprehension.

For Year 9, Ben worked on complex area calculations involving circles and irregular shapes, alongside solving inequalities with step-by-step guidance.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student James focused on linear functions and applying key formulas for lines to consolidate understanding ahead of his assessment.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, skipping steps when expanding and simplifying led to missed sign errors—one tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

In senior mathematics, exam nerves caused a student to avoid reviewing working, so mistakes in inverse graph questions were left uncorrected.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student's heavy reliance on finger counting for times tables slowed her progress with division and multiplication; switching between coloured pens during working out also distracted from focusing on the maths itself.

For one Year 11 project, online research wasn't clearly translated into presentation format, resulting in incomplete preparation.

Recent Achievements

One Collaroy Plateau tutor noticed a Year 9 student who had previously hesitated to ask questions now actively seeking clarification on complex area problems, even attempting inequalities independently after guidance.

In a recent high school session, another student who often guessed at answers started breaking down algebraic equations step by step, clearly articulating where they'd made mistakes and adjusting their approach without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who struggled with multiplication tables began using card games to practise and was soon splitting tougher multiples into manageable parts—completing her twelve times tables challenge with no hints needed.

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 Dee Why Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Collaroy Plateau Public School.
