Science Tutor Shell Cove, NSW
The most important things for a tutor to do is to help a student strengthen their own ability to learn independantly. It is far more important that a student understands the learning process and what works best for them rather than simply memorise a single topic. Having transferable skills as a student and being able to apply their knowledge to…

Science Tutor Shell Cove, NSW
I believe a tutor should be a role model. Where they should embody not only the study skills they teach but also be honest, patient and a motivator, all whilst being professional. Through this a student can grow both academically and as a person allowing them to reap the rewards more deeply. A tutors role is to listen and provide their clients…

Science Tutor Shell Cove, NSW
Although my goal is to see them be at the top of their class, it is more important to see improvements in their tutor lessons and use the knowledge I give them at school to refine their skills I am very easy going and I have a lot of patience. So I am good with kids that are struggling to understand. I use the 4 predominant learning styles:…

Science Tutor Oak Flats, NSW
I always find people learn best when they're comfortable and truly believe they can master the concept. Therefore, I would say the most important thing for a tutor is to build a mutual respect with their student. From there encouragement, communication, and teaching is much easier. Although I have a good knowledge off mathematics and the sciences,…

Science Tutor Flinders, NSW
Listen to them, let them teach you about themselves, let them have a go and try things and trial and error. No matter how many times they get it wrong they will always learn more by putting the effort in rather than just being given the answer. Also find out what techniques help them learn best, some students can pick up things in different ways…

Effective tutoring involves understanding students' needs, providing clear explanations, fostering confidence, offering support, and promoting critical thinking. This creates a supportive environment for learning and growth. As a tutor, one of my strengths is being able to explain concepts in various ways until the student fully understands. I'm…

Science Tutor Albion Park Rail, NSW
I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is build a student’s confidence. It’s not just about helping them get the right answer, but helping them believe they’re capable of getting there on their own. A tutor should also create a supportive environment where the student feels safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn at…

A good tutor helps a student feel confident and curious. They make tough subjects easy and fun to understand. They are patient, adapt to students' needs, and always encourage them to do their best. I am good at understanding different ways people learn and making complex topics easy to grasp. I am patient and know my subjects well, which helps me…

Science Tutor Haywards Bay, NSW
Allow them to figure it out themselves. Giving them the answer is detrimental and they aren't actually learning. Providing clues, hints or simply even breaking questions down into sub questions allows them to approach concepts and questions more easily and break it down into manageable chunks. Being able to approach problems and issues from…

Science Tutor Koonawarra, NSW
When you're a tutor, students are like children to us. Nothing is more valuable than our children. Everything we do, every good aspect we think of still feel less for our children. That's how I see myself as a tutor As a tutor I feel I can connect with the students more deeply as I have been studying human psychology for a long period of time and…

Be considerate, patient, understanding, and non-judgemental. It can be very hard to accept help in the first place, and being made to feel like you're failing or a burden is only going to make that harder. I work to understand how their mind works so I can explain in a way they will best understand. I am also very patient, particularly with those…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be open to other methods and understanding that everyone is unique in the areas they struggle with and everyone's solutions to this are unique as well. Being patient with students allows them to work at a pace they feel comfortable with, this will allow them to find enjoyment in the…

Inside CroomTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Molly revised the area of composite shapes and practiced basic trigonometry, focusing on understanding how **formulas work through step-by-step examples**.

Year 9 student Alex tackled surds in her classwork, exploring how to **simplify and manipulate them** alongside an algebra pre-test for foundational skills.

For Year 11, Sarah worked through financial mathematics topics such as **compound interest and tax calculations**, reviewing syllabus points relevant to upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 mathematics, a recurring issue was unclear and unstructured working out—she often left steps unlabeled or mixed up information between questions.

As one tutor noted, "she frequently looks at the wrong information when referring back to worksheets."

In junior years, missed fundamentals due to absences led to hesitation and gaps in algebra basics; this showed up when she struggled to recall SOH CAH TOA or made sign errors in quadratic expressions.

During exam-style tasks, stress caused her to overlook question details, resulting in avoidable mistakes even on familiar content.

The confusion sometimes lingered after the session ended.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Croom noted that a Year 11 student, who previously hesitated to speak up, has started identifying specific maths concepts she finds tricky and brings targeted questions to each session—something she never did before.

Another high schooler made a big leap with finance topics: after struggling to solve equations involving fractions, she can now finish class assignments without hints.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who used to rush through problems is now pausing to explain her reasoning step-by-step and even asks for harder questions when she finishes early.

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