Give the student the foundational skills to excel on the own once outside of tutoring. A good tutor will be able to get their student to a level where they feel competent to work by themselves, and know both how to solve a problem, and why we approach the problem the way we do.

It is important for tutors to explicitly explain and model how to solve mathematical problems to begin with and then gradually reduce assistance until the student is able to work independently. It is also important for tutors to motivate students through positive reinforcement and to incorporate metacognitive strategies. My strengths as a tutor…

Implement creativity and a willingness to try is the most important skill a tutor can pass on to their students.

Ultimately, there are two things. Teaching a student to be curious, and teaching a student how to learn. Education systems are designed to filter all kids through a rigid, structured system, which, although brilliant for most, loses the spirit of why we learn. Because we are curious! We like to see how things work, to investigate our world and…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student in my opinion is to give them guidance on how to be successful in the subject we tutor. At the end of the day we only see them once or twice a week. We can't teach them everything. So it is important that we guide them on how to learn and study in order to be successful.

I think the most important thing is approaching learning with compassion and patience.

Provide support both academically and mentally. This can be done through practicing a topic of a subject, and also helping schedule their weeks, so they know they will still have social/leisure time, and maximize their grades and themselves.

Inside CopacabanaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Zac focused on fraction operations, including adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions, and practised simplifying mixed and improper fractions using worded sentence questions.

Year 8 student Lily worked through algebraic expansion and factorisation as well as more complex expressions involving both techniques.

Meanwhile, Year 5 student Olivia recapped money counting in NAPLAN-style questions and analysed the symmetries of shapes by counting angles and sides using visual aids.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often forgets to do set homework and struggles to stay focused during lessons, as seen when "she was very reluctant to do work today" and didn't complete her assigned tasks—resulting in slow progress through content.

In Year 10, messy written work led to calculation errors, especially when columns weren't lined up for long division or graph plotting.

For a senior student preparing for HSC, frequent reliance on calculator answers without double-checking steps caused repeated mistakes; one tutor noted, "errors were being made when numbers were not properly lined up in columns," which cost valuable revision time.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Copacabana noticed Zac, a high school student, shifting from hesitating during problem solving to confidently speaking up and tackling fraction questions that previously caused him trouble—he now remembers methods across lessons without prompting.

In another session, Olivia demonstrated new independence by bringing her own tricky homework questions and consistently writing out area formulas before solving complex shape problems; she used to skip this step and get stuck more often.

For a younger student, Lilly showed tangible progress by stopping her tutor from helping so she could solve percentage-to-fraction conversions on her own—a first for her.

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