Orla
Tutor Coogee, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is believe in them and their abilities. For many students it is often their lack of belief in themselves that holds them back from fully trying to understand the topic. Building this and building their confidence is key.

I believe the most important thing about a tutor is being able to provide self-confidence for the student.

I have found that when students believe they have the ability to complete the question, they are more likely to ask questions and understand the…

I think giving a student support and encouragement is extremely important as well as making things clear for students.

I think the most important think a tutor can do for a student is to give them confidence in their own abilities. Schooling, especially ones centred around standardised exams, encourage students to master themselves in order to achieve standardised tasks; however, no part of the curriculum teaches them how to do this. I feel as though it is the…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help motivate the student so that they can enjoy the learning experience rather than see it as a chore. That can only be done if the tutor makes it comfortable for the student to provide feedback. This open communication allows for both parties to engage in a more interactive experience,…

The most important thing that a tutor can do at first, is build a rapport and a relationship of trust. In order to connect with a student, a tutor must be able to forge a strong connection that is much the same as a mentor to a younger generation. Further from this, a tutor must be able to assess the genuine ability of a student - this is crucial,…

Finding other ways of working out a problem.
If something has been said and isn’t ‘going in’ we can try a visual approach or written down approach, whatever works for the student .
Being patient I think is very important, not getting frustrated with the student and using positive language, for example ‘good try’ or ‘nearly there’.…

I believe that the most important thing in education, whether that be in a tutorial or a formal lesson, is to ensure that it is student-centred.

I think that a tutor would have more…

Inside CoogeeTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 4 student Robbie focused on multiplying and dividing fractions, then compared different fraction values using visual aids.
In Year 10, Claire worked through compound and simple interest calculations as well as interpreting compounded value tables for financial maths topics.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex explored the declining-balance method of depreciation and reducing-balance loans, with practical examples to deepen understanding of financial mathematics concepts.
Recent Challenges
A Year 10 student's test performance revealed persistent timing issues—"still struggling to complete tests in the correct time frame"—with rushed endings leading to unfinished questions in algebra.
For Year 11 Physics, forgotten content after missed sessions resulted in gaps that "couldn't be covered quickly before the test," causing anxiety and confusion.
In Year 6 Maths, unorganized note-taking meant key formulas were missing when revising fractions.
Another senior student hesitated to write working out for worded problems: "He holds back in case he gets an answer wrong," so mistakes remained hidden and feedback couldn't be used effectively.
Recent Achievements
One Coogee tutor recently saw a Year 9 student, previously hesitant to ask for help, now actively seeking clarification whenever confused—a big change from just nodding along in earlier sessions.
A Year 11 student has started fixing mistakes independently after only one correction, where before he would repeat the same error several times.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who used to stumble over times tables is now recalling them more smoothly each week and even completed a new set without prompts during their last session.
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 Randwick Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Brigid's Catholic Primary School.
