Tutor Colyton, NSW
A tutor can help increase a student's marks because teachers at school doesn't have the time to help everybody individually. With a tutor its just 1 on 1 for the most part so the main focus would be on that one student. A tutor should also encourage and increase the students confidence in the subject that they are getting tutoring for. After…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for students is to support and assist them in the subjects that they are having difficulty with. I believed that when the students reached the level of understanding the concepts that they are learning, I think that the tutor was able to play his or her role very well. As a tutor and a teacher, I always…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are provide support and adapt their lessons to the students needs. When a student needs extra help in a subject they often feel discouraged to continue learning, so it is important to provide them with support and teach the content in ways more suited to the students abilities and learning…

A tutor should be able to identify the student's current knowledge and areas of need. This should then be used to tailor instruction and focus on identified areas. Tutors should try to use positive encouragement and constructive feedback while constantly adapting to best help the student so they can be a presence that the student feels supported…

Prepare before a lesson -themselves and any resoruces they may want to use. Listen to where the student is at with their learning and understanding, then work from there - work *with* the student.

The most important thing a tutor can do is to realise when a student actually understands a topic, or if they need more help. Too often students will say that they understand but they don't want to admit they still don't. The tutor should be able to break down a subject in multiple ways, and choose which way fits particular students' learning…

Help them understand the concepts that they may miss in school. Sometimes, a class can move to fast for the students, which causes them to either fall behind, or skip some important concepts/lessons. A tutor can make sure that the student doesn't fall behind, because if they do, they are likely to become uninterested and give up. A tutor can also…

Inside ColytonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Aiden reviewed simplifying ratios and tackled a range of ratio word problems, including real-life examples.

Year 9 student Emily worked on solving linear equations and interpreting box-and-whisker plots using recent class data sets.

For Year 10, Sarah focused on calculating income tax and Medicare levy in financial mathematics, followed by applying tree diagrams to solve probability scenarios drawn from textbook exercises.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student's written work in algebra often missed steps, making it hard to trace errors—"she doesn't write down all the steps of her working out," noted a tutor. This led to difficulty checking answers and building confidence with substitution and equations.

In Year 10, another student relied heavily on entering equations into the calculator but made input errors when not talking through their process aloud.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner sometimes rushed question reading and struggled to pick out what was needed, which meant misinterpreting key parts of worded maths problems during practice sessions.

Recent Achievements

In Colyton, a Year 11 student made a significant leap by moving from relying on hints to independently checking her own work after each problem. This shift was especially notable when tackling trigonometry formulas, an area where she previously hesitated.

During a Year 9 session, a student who once guessed at ratio problems began openly asking for clarification. After seeking help, the student successfully explained why specific ratios were applied in context, showing deeper understanding.

A Year 4 learner who used to skip steps now writes out all their working for every maths question. This consistent approach has led to fewer mistakes and greater accuracy overall.

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 St Marys Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Colyton High School.
