Support. Providing a great amount of support and motivation is crucial for a student’s education path. Without this, a lack of drive would occur which is detrimental to their learning, ultimately affecting their peers around them which acts like the domino effect. I have been to multiple coaching centres since Kindergarten and I have realised…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is create a safe and supportive space where the student feels comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Learning can be intimidating, especially when someone is struggling, so it’s crucial that a tutor builds trust and encourages curiosity without judgment. When a student feels safe…

Teach them how to study. I feel that too many students think the only way to study is to read the text book or talk to the teacher. Although these are valid ways I feel that most students don't realise there are other ways to study. I personal prefer to watch videos explaining the subject, draw pictures and diagrams, and then make flash cards.…

The most important thing I consider of a tutor to do for a student is to communicate in a way where the student is reassured that in a safe space, they feel motivated, confident and ease within their tutoring sessions. This is most important as it is best to establish a good work environment and relation with the tutor so that they are not afraid…

In my view, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them develop a deep understanding of the subject matter. This means going beyond simply helping them complete assignments and prepare for exams, and instead working with them to build a foundation of knowledge and skills that they can apply to future challenges. A good…

Most importantly a tutor should understand the goals and needs of each student individually - what they find difficult and why they struggle with certain concepts. Subsequently, tutors should teach students the concepts and ensure they understand how to solve problems, this provides lifelong problem solving skills rather than memorised methods to…

Firstly identifying the student's various strengths and areas of improvement is very significant to give a general idea of which topics to focus/skills on the most whilst teaching them. Another key area that a tutor should investigate further is the student's most effective way of learning specific concepts e.g. visual, written, auditory etc. A …

The most important thing a tutor can do is to be open and offer an open exchange of exchange of information that allows a student to freely delve into a subject.

It is extremely important that when the student is faced with a difficult question, they are able to see many potential methods to attempt it.

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.
