I believe that being patient towards a student, while encouraging the student to be highly committed and willing to learn is very important for being a tutor. I also think that when tutoring, given the limited time available to teach each student, should also have a focus on helping the student learn methods and fully understand the topic to be…

Understanding each students' specific needs and the different ways they learn, as well as approaching with a positive attitude whilst assisting their learning - not putting students down if questions were incorrectly done (projecting your own emotions; anger, frustration outwards), or if they didn't do as well on an exam. Ultimately, the most…

The most important thing is to make them proud of themselves for learning what they thought they couldn’t. It would satisfy me as a tutor if I will be able to see my students happy on every success they can make. I am fun as a tutor. I always make sure my student doesn’t have to work under pressure. I don’t want my student to think that…

I think it is important to be patient with your students. Some students are slower to learn than others, and others learn things in different ways compared to the rest. If you have the patience to teach them all properly, then it really shows on their performance. I believe that one of my strength is that I take pride in teaching my students. If…

The most important thing I think a tutor can do for a student is to help teach them in a safe, non-judgemental and trust worthy environment. If the student feels comfortable in the environment, they are more willing to open their minds and be more willing to learn whereas if they felt uncomfortable they would be more closed off and fearful. Not…

Inside Dolls PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student focused on solving trigonometric equations with one unknown using sine, cosine, and tangent, then applied these skills to worded trigonometry problems.

In Year 11 Chemistry, Fatima practised balancing chemical and net ionic equations alongside calculating molar mass and limiting reagents.

For a Year 12 student, recent lessons concentrated on acids and bases with particular attention to titration methods and interpreting results from practical experiments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student, as a tutor noted, "does not study anything of what we cover during the week," so sessions often repeat previous material instead of progressing.

In Year 11 Maths, forgetting key formulas like the trapezoidal rule meant extra time spent revisiting old content before tackling new exam questions.

A Year 5 learner misplaced homework by writing it on scraps rather than in the assigned booklet, leading to unfinished spelling tasks.

Meanwhile, one Year 7 student hesitated to write out steps in algebra due to fear of making mistakes—this slowed their ability to check and correct errors when practicing equations.

Recent Achievements

One Dolls Point tutor recently saw a high school student, who previously relied heavily on guidance, begin to solve problems independently and clearly explain each step back—she even kept her notes more organised than before and was fully aware of her upcoming assessments.

Another secondary student, after struggling with titration calculations in chemistry, managed to work through practice questions until she could complete them accurately on her own.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student who had difficulty remembering spelling patterns earlier in the term spelled every word on his list with 100% accuracy and finished all ten words without mistakes.

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 Sans Souci Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like The Scots College, Brighton Preparatory School.
