I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to provide clarity, build confidence, and foster independent thinking. First, offering clear explanations and breaking down complex concepts helps students understand the material more deeply. Second, encouraging and supporting students helps build their confidence, which is…

Helping students to learn and progress in a way which suits their learning style and ways of thinking is an important thing tutors can do for students. If a tutor can adapt to this I believe the student will learn both with more efficiency and more enjoyment. This enjoyment is also of great importance to help students come to a love of learning,…

This enables the tutor to tailor their teaching approach and materials to meet the student's specific needs. Moreover, a tutor should encourage active learning by engaging students in discussions, asking questions, and involving them…

Inside CornwallisTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 Charlize worked on comparing fractions with different denominators using visual aids and also practised long division strategies for multi-digit numbers.

For Year 11, Justine focused on circle geometry problems as part of exam preparation, working through specific question types from her homework set.

Meanwhile, Year 12 Abhinoor revised arithmetic sequences and series before tackling questions on linear regression, consolidating both algebraic skills and statistical understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 Business Studies, one student struggled to incorporate professional language in reports and was urged to "regularly review notes" instead of cramming before trials.

A different Year 11 Maths student often left homework incomplete, especially multi-step algebra and functions tasks; this meant concepts like steady-state probability weren't retained between sessions. As a tutor noted, "forgetting previous topics made new problems harder."

In Year 9 trigonometry, skipping written working led to repeated confusion over which side represented the hypotenuse. The absence of routine practice or feedback follow-up created small misunderstandings that snowballed by assessment time.

Recent Achievements

One Cornwallis tutor noticed a big shift in William, a high schooler who used to hesitate with algebra—he now tackles expressions independently using the distributive law almost entirely on his own and has started writing out information from word problems before solving, which wasn't his habit before.

Olivia, another secondary student, recently managed to apply her knowledge of interest rates and recall Pythagoras' Theorem unaided; she even picked up the basics of trigonometry within a single session.

In primary sessions, Sannae has become noticeably more independent when reading complex words—she now breaks them into chunks and sounds them out without waiting for help.

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 Hawkesbury Central Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Matthew's Primary School.
