Although my goal is to see them be at the top of their class, it is more important to see improvements in their tutor lessons and use the knowledge I give them at school to refine their skills I am very easy going and I have a lot of patience. So I am good with kids that are struggling to understand. I use the 4 predominant learning styles:…

The most important things for a tutor to do is to help a student strengthen their own ability to learn independantly. It is far more important that a student understands the learning process and what works best for them rather than simply memorise a single topic. Having transferable skills as a student and being able to apply their knowledge to…

I believe a tutor should be a role model. Where they should embody not only the study skills they teach but also be honest, patient and a motivator, all whilst being professional. Through this a student can grow both academically and as a person allowing them to reap the rewards more deeply. A tutors role is to listen and provide their clients…

I always find people learn best when they're comfortable and truly believe they can master the concept. Therefore, I would say the most important thing for a tutor is to build a mutual respect with their student. From there encouragement, communication, and teaching is much easier. Although I have a good knowledge off mathematics and the sciences,…

In addition to this, it is important for tutors to create and maintain relationships with their students that emulate trust and belief in their abilities. A…

I believe that it's a tutor's purpose is to push the student at a pace that they're capable of achieving regardless of what that level is. A student can only work to the best of their capacity and achieving this efficiency is the advantaged of personalised education. With younger especially clients in grades 4 and below, I believe it's essential…

Listen to them, let them teach you about themselves, let them have a go and try things and trial and error. No matter how many times they get it wrong they will always learn more by putting the effort in rather than just being given the answer.

A tutor must be able to gain the trust of the students to allow them to feel comfortable enough for the learning to commence. An intimidating environment is an ineffective one for teaching.

Make learning enjoyable. the last thing I want as a tutor is a student dreading doing their work. If I can push them to find satisfaction and fun out of learning then I feel I have succeeded.

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is build a student’s confidence.

Things are going really well with Ella and our daughter. We're very happy with the quality of tutoring and her approach.
Kirsty

Inside DunmoreTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Grace worked on area of composite shapes and basic trigonometry, using diagrams to help break down complex problems.

In Year 10, Daniel focused on algebra basics and completed a pre-test to review his understanding ahead of new classwork.

For Year 11, Emily revised compound interest calculations as part of financial maths and practised applying formulas to real-world scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student often wrote answers without structuring working out, which made it difficult to spot calculation errors—"setting out her working out with clear headings and steps" was a consistent need.

In Year 11 trigonometry, not labeling diagrams or reading questions fully led to confusion about which rule to use, as one note put it: "just needs to read worded questions carefully, especially trig (when drawing a triangle from words)."

A Year 8 algebra session saw mistakes with negatives when each step wasn't shown; extra time went into correcting these rather than building confidence.

Recent Achievements

In Dunmore, a Year 11 student who had previously struggled with equations involving fractions is now working through these independently, showing clear improvement in both speed and accuracy.

Another high schooler recently completed a challenging trigonometry question from a past HSC paper on her own. Just weeks ago, she needed step-by-step guidance for similar problems.

In a Year 8 session, a student who used to rush and skip steps is now carefully setting out their working, resulting in fewer errors and greater confidence tackling two-step equations without prompting.

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 Shellharbour Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Shellharbour Anglican College.
