I believe that tutoring should not be a formulaic job. Essentially, what that means is that different people have different ways of learning and I think it's important for tutors to be able to adapt to how a student approaches a particular topic instead of standardizing knowledge. My main strengths are that I am very good with people of all ages…

Make them feel safe/comfortable - if they're anxious about learning that could really hinder their future education. This sounds really clichĂ© but I think it's important to teach someone to learn/enjoy learning. People who find acquiring skills/information as a chore will have trouble progressing anywhere. I think my empathy - it's really…

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do is tailor their approach to accomodate for the needs of a student. I also think it is incredibly important to offer both academic support and assurance, particularly when a student lacks academic confidence. A lot of the time, errors or poor performance are rooted in students' hesitance and…

A tutor can do two primarily important things for a student: 1) recognize and modify their teaching approach to consider their student's specific learning style, 2) maintain a friendly yet professional rapport so that the student feels comfortable engaging with the tutor and content. For myself, these are fundamental qualities an english…

Provide a safe space for the student to make mistakes without judgement. They don’t always have this at school with their peers looking on. Provide high level materials that don’t just duplicate those from school or in generic books. I really think about the resources we use to make sure they are the right level, challenging and have stretch…

Being patient and engaging are the most important qualities, as the students may never understand a topic immediately but may take multiple angles to see how this topic is relevant (or loads of different angles in my case!) to understand. To present this engagingly is the best way for a student to learn actively. I was never smart and never felt I…

Among the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is that a tutor must be able to understand a student's learning style so that the student would be able to learn the material in a way that is analogous to their mode of synthesising knowledge. A tutor must do this all the while being open and kind and most especially warm…

Inside DarlinghurstTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 Maddison worked on trigonometry, focusing on finding angles and sides in right-angled triangles and solving problems involving elevation, depression, and bearings using diagrams.

For Year 10, revision included bearings and angle of depression before moving into probability concepts—correcting worksheet errors and previewing relative frequency and non-linear relationships.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student prepared for exams by discussing theoretical versus experimental probability with examples on relative frequency, followed by a review of non-linear relationships including parabolas, exponentials, and circles.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly avoided asking questions in class when confused, especially during algebra and probability lessons; as one tutor noted, "she needed extra explanation, but didn't seek it out." This meant confusion built up until revisited later.

In Year 10 mathematics, another student struggled with exam preparation because revision focused only on familiar problems—when new question types appeared, confidence dropped sharply.

A senior student's messy working in geometry made errors hard to trace: "Working was so disorganised that small sign errors went unnoticed," a tutor observed. After the test, time was lost hunting for simple mistakes instead of reviewing concepts.

Recent Achievements

One Darlinghurst tutor noticed Maddison, a Year 9 student, now actively asks for help when stuck instead of guessing—something she avoided in earlier sessions.

In Year 11 maths, William took the initiative to list specific assignment areas he wanted to revisit and worked through complex probability questions with less guidance than before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student recently completed 25 multiplication questions in under three minutes—a big jump from her slower attempts last term. Last week's session ended with her finishing all problems independently and double-checking her answers without prompting.

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 Kings Cross Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Darlinghurst Public School.
