Help students through their learning journey whilst also giving them the independence to take responsibility for their learning. Assisting students when they need help is important but it also just as important for students to push themselves with harder questions, turning to the tutor as the last resort. A tutor is meant to help the student push…

Above all else, I believe that tutors should be patient and also question their own understanding so that they can teach at a more effective level. I think that patience is my biggest strength as a tutor. Assisting people with disabilities during the HSC reflected that I have the patience and understanding to clarify content for others.…

The role of a tutor is not to solve problems for the student, but rather, their role is to equip the student with the necessary tools for them to solve problems independently. I believe i am approachable and adaptable. This is an important trait for a tutor as no two students are the same. I can adapt to fit the needs of the student in order for…

In order to establish a good relationship, the tutor must be an energetic person, someone with a lot of enthusiasm with respect to human interactions.

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.
