A tutor should focus on building both understanding and confidence. That includes breaking down difficult concepts, being patient, and adapting to the student’s learning style. I also think it’s important to encourage problem-solving skills so the student becomes more independent over time, rather than relying on the tutor. I think one of my…

I think most importantly, a tutor must create a good learning environment for their students. We've been through high school aswell and we've seen the ups and downs. So the best thing a tutor can do is be patient and supportive and build their confidence. Even if they get a question wrong or don't understand something, we should be patient and…

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to act as both an academic and emotional mentor to alleviate some of the stress that comes with studying. Naturally, it is expected for tutors to help students with breaking down the content into manageable concepts for the student to understand. However, aspects such as study…

The most important thing for a tutor to do for a student is providing as much information as they can. Answer their questions, solve their problems, and make sure that they really understand the material. I am a very good listener. When a student is facing difficulty, I believe the problem is communication. Talk to them and try to find out what is…

Coming up with different ways to explain concepts for different learning styles. Coming up with analogies and physical explanations of concepts. My…

Tutors must be flexible in their assistance to students through recognising individual learning preferences. Hence, they must cater to one's level of academic proficiency, their learning weaknesses and holes in education to provide a tangible improvement in grades. I have recent experience undertaking high school Extension 1 and 2 Mathematics,…

For me, the most important thing a tutor can do is help the student feel more confident — not just with the subject, but in themselves. I think we sometimes forget how big of a difference it makes when someone believes they can actually do it. I really try to celebrate the small wins — whether they’ve just understood a tough concept or even…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student go beyond just teaching content. A tutor should help a child feel capable--- when students believe in themselves, everything else becomes easier. It's important to break concepts down simply, meet students where they are, and help them move forward step by step without overwhelm.…

One that motivates students to learn and to be able to confidently apply the knowledge they are taught both in and outside the classroom. Also since students are more likely to do better when they feel encouraged and…

Having empathy, because not all content comes too easy for students as it does for us, obviously. Having patience, because it can be frustrating if a tutor just expects a student to "get it" immediately. Being kind. This seems obvious but you may be surprised the number of teachers I've had and met who are not kind, and they are extremely hard…

Not give the answers but help support the learning process and give guidance when the child needs it most. There is a difference between doing all the work for the child and actually teaching how the problem can be approached and observing how the student does it him/herself. If the child is stuck on a concept, it is my responsibility to help the…

No matter which subject the student is learning, s/he needs to know why s/he needs to learn it. Recently, Diane Tavenner, the innovator of American education encourages students to learn whatever they want by asking them to solve problem by themselves. In the field of applied linguistics, we call it 'boost input by producing output'. I believe…

Inside Dawes PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Xander focused on circle geometry, including properties of tangents and chords, and reviewed for his upcoming maths exam.

Year 11 student Soraya worked through advanced trigonometry concepts and tackled polynomial expressions from her textbook chapter 22b.

Year 12 student completed past papers to revise polynomials and logarithms, as well as fine-tuned algebraic skills like expanding brackets in preparation for final assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing for exams kept needing to look back at notes during trigonometry and functions, showing that not all key formulas were memorised; as one tutor noted, "there are a couple equations that will not be available on Charlie's resource sheet during the exam." This slowed progress in practice sessions.

In Year 9 English, another student was reluctant to link evidence back to topic sentences in an assignment and needed reminders about structure—leaving parts incomplete and ideas unconnected.

A primary student left division homework unfinished, feeling overwhelmed by a multiplication table. These gaps led to lost confidence or rushed last-minute revision instead of steady improvement.

Recent Achievements

Charlie, a high school student in Dawes Point, moved from needing frequent prompts to independently completing past exam papers and highlighting key points for revision without assistance.

Another secondary student has begun tackling challenging circle geometry problems solo—last month she hesitated and waited for guidance, but now she often attempts solutions before asking for help.

Soraya in primary school demonstrated a big shift during NAPLAN practice: after previously missing several questions on area, she not only solved those correctly this time but explained her reasoning out loud while working through the steps.

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 Customs House Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Observatory Hill Environmental Education Centre.
