I believe a tutor is not only a teacher but also a mentor. They are someone for the student to look up to, but also there to help the student develop their understanding through friendship and camaraderie. As they are separate from both school and home settings, they can offer an external and unique perspective on both academic and personal…

The most important thing a tutor could do for a student is show them that every student responds to education in the same way or at the same pace and whichever way they process information is perfectly normal. The goal is to maximize learning, in the way that works best for the students. I have seen this significantly reduce academic frustrations…

I believe all educators need to be able to connect with students.

I believe my past experience in education is my…

Put yourself in the situation. Think about what you would do as someone who is supposedly better at tackling difficult problems if you stumbled upon the same question. Then convey your thinking to the student. I am patient and I am good at predicting what student may find difficult in a certain exam/test. I am also adaptive to individual dilemmas…

Richard is a lovely young man. Very patient and caring in his delivery of his tutoring. He has made my daughter feel better about her ability to problem solve her mathematics.

Inside DavidsonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Olivia worked through finding the perimeter and area of shapes, alongside practising operations with decimals.

In Year 8, Ethan focused on simplifying algebraic expressions and collecting like terms in equations.

For Year 9, Sarah tackled linear equations and applied laws of indices to various problems, reinforcing her understanding using real exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student admitted that "revision doesn't help much for tests," highlighting a need to rethink study strategies and assignment planning, especially in preparing for maths assessments.

In Year 7 algebra, skipping written steps—"he tries to do it all in his head"—led to missed variables and incomplete answers, making errors harder to catch.

One senior student struggled to adapt the right formulas during unfamiliar exam questions; without clear working or question analysis, time was wasted circling back.

When homework wasn't completed outside of tutorials in Year 8, gaps persisted into lessons—so class time became review rather than moving forward.

Recent Achievements

One Davidson tutor recently saw a Year 10 student who used to skip over complex algebra problems now attempting the hardest questions on their worksheet without prompting, showing a clear shift from avoidance to active problem-solving.

In a senior session, a Year 12 student—who often hesitated to ask for help—has started openly identifying her weaker topics and requesting extra practice with indices and financial maths, rather than just guessing through tasks.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who previously struggled to focus for more than ten minutes managed an entire lesson on perimeter and area without losing concentration, finishing all assigned questions by herself.

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