Tutor Narraweena, NSW
Having both been the tutee and the tutor, I believe that it is imperative that a tutor is supportive of the student and caters their teaching to the student's specific needs. Tutoring is only truly effective when the student is completely engaged with the tutor and I believe that this can only happen when the student believes that they are in an…

Tutor Beacon Hill, NSW
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to support them without judgement. Whether that support comes in smaller forms of teaching students concepts they may struggle with or encouraging students to not give up. As a tutor I think my greatest strengths are bringing in a passion and enjoyment for the subjects I tutor and…

The number one thing is being supportive and being there for the student no matter what. I believe having a shoulder to lean on that doesn't criticize but also has a slight push is crucial for a positive relationship between tutor and tutee. Said relationship can increase the pupil's confidence, enthusiasm to work in an academic setting and…

Instill them with a confidence to improve and feel better about assignments, exams and even just going to class each day.

The most important thing as a tutor is to help them understand the importance of English and mathematics. If something is unclear, it is my duty to research and resolve the issue so the student can learn correctly to progress in the future. If the student enjoys a certain subject, he/she may potentially be a passionate teacher in the future. As a…

I think the most important thing may be to identify the individual needs of the student.

When this was followed up, it made a very positive impact on the student's learning outcomes. I believe that…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is being prepared.

Additionally, the tutor needs to maintain…

As a tutor, it is important that you pass on the right knowledge to the student. Make them think about things by themselves instead of giving them straight away. A tutor, shouldn't discourage students if they ask a dumb question, they should resolve all their queries with a good understanding. A tutor's job is to support a student and be curious…

Inside Dee WhyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Aidan worked on finding gradients and equations of straight lines as well as interpreting graphs to connect visual data with algebraic rules.

Year 10 student Olivia focused on quadratic equations, using different factorisation methods and completing the square to solve problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ethan explored circles, hyperbolas, and exponential equations, tackling graph sketching and identifying key features of each curve type.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student found simultaneous equations challenging when only points and gradients were provided; she relied heavily on worked examples rather than practicing independently.

In Year 9, a student's tendency to "go extremely fast through questions" led to missed steps in algebra, as one tutor noted, "needs to slow down and show working."

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student hesitated with division tricks—impatience made her guess rather than apply strategies from previous lessons.

For a primary learner tackling times tables, confidence dropped when faced with the unfamiliar 8s and 9s; skipping practice left gaps that slowed progress in multi-step problems.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Dee Why noticed a big shift for Morgan (Year 7): she now breaks down tricky compound area problems into smaller shapes without prompting—last term, she'd freeze if it wasn't straightforward.

A Year 10 student recently tackled financial maths and, after previously making frequent errors with formulas, managed to complete a full practice set independently and accurately.

In English, a Year 11 student who used to write vague answers has started linking ideas more clearly in essays and even asked for feedback on structure before submitting her draft.

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 Dee Why Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Kevin's Catholic Primary School.
