The most important things tutors can do is to be enthusiastic and engaging about the subject their teaching their student because this then allows students to believe too, that the subject they're learning is not boring or bad. Moreover, tutors must have confidence in their student in succeeding and doing well, in which the Pygmalion effect proves…

I understand that tutoring is not only about helping students get the correct answer for a specific question, but also about improving their confidence, study habits and ability to approach unfamiliar problems independently. I believe helping students gain this confidence is one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student. Through my…

Developing a friendship with the student. A friendship makes both feel more comfortable in the work they are doing as many aspects with be easier to handle as you have likely mastered communication with each other. For the student it will also give the subject more interest and therefore more confidence in learning it. I believe my strength will…

Being a source of advice and support in a student's scholarly journey. I am approachable and non-judgemental so students can ask me for help on school topics that they may not want to ask their teachers or parents due to anxiety. I use learning styles that complement the student I am teaching, as opposed to a "one size fits all"…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is enrich their learning experience so they can understand the importance of education, and the essential nature of honing their critical thinking skills. Tutoring should be taught to not be simply for academic success, but success as a communicator and thinker. I think I am…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to unlock their potential. It’s not just about explaining concepts—it’s about making the student believe they can conquer anything. A tutor should inspire confidence, turning frustration into progress, and showing students they’re capable of more than they think. It’s about being…

An open environment, a student should not feel embaressed when asking questions or having a problem with their school work. This can be a problem sometimes in a classroom environment as some children may riddicule the child. This open environment is important for a tutor as the student should feel open to ask questions without peer judgement. A…

Marks are important, but they’re not everything. What truly matters is the attitude you bring to learning and your willingness to grow. As a tutor, I focus on helping students develop confidence, resilience, and the skills they need to succeed—not just academically, but in life. Achieving a 95 ATAR at The Ponds High School showcased my ability…

Few viable things which a tutor can do to help the students are: a) Deliver to them motivational thoughts and constantly encouraging them to do well. b) Critically thinking about any difficulty which might pose a hurdle in the pathway of student's learning and bring-forth ways to mitigate it. As a tutor, I believe to have the following…

Help them learn how to learn themselves - that is, teach them the skills to learn how to solve problems, and help them to build confidence in their own skills. I'm a very patient person and don't easily get frustrated with students who seems like they just aren't getting it. I also enjoy trying to figure out exactly why a student is stuck with…

I believe one of the things a tutor should find important is to help find coping mechanisms the students can use to ease their exam anxiety. As well as that I believe a tutor should work at the pace that best suits the student rather than the tutor.

Inside DuralTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 Daniel worked through NAPLAN past paper questions covering algebra, graphing, pattern recognition, and probability to strengthen problem-solving across multiple maths strands.

For Year 10 Lukas, lessons focused on manipulating algebraic expressions and solving multi-step equations from both sides, with particular attention to setting out working clearly.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student (no name recorded) tackled applications of geometry using algebra—such as linking geometric shapes to equations—and practiced advanced surface area calculations for solids.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, one student left a significant portion of school work unmarked—"I explained this would need to be rectified in order for me to help him"—making it hard to identify persistent algebra errors before tests.

Another, in Year 11, relied on mental calculations and skipped setting out steps during induction proofs; calculation errors slipped through unchecked as a result.

In Year 5 English, messy handwriting and incomplete creative writing drafts meant feedback was difficult to give or apply.

Each instance slowed progress: time spent deciphering or retracing work replaced opportunities for deeper learning or building confidence.

Recent Achievements

One Dural tutor noticed a Year 11 student who, after previously hesitating to ask questions, has begun openly seeking clarification when tackling complex algebraic expressions—she now pauses to discuss each step rather than guessing.

In a recent high school maths session, another student who struggled with the logic behind geometry formulas was able to justify how and why different area calculations work, showing clear reasoning in her answers.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who often rushed through spelling tasks took the initiative this week to plan out his story before writing, making fewer errors and focusing on structure throughout.

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 Dural Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Dural Public School.
