Helen
Tutor Kingsford, NSW
I believe providing academic guidance and support is the most obvious thing a tutor can do for a student. It is the first reason why any parent hires a tutor for their children. If a student is struggling with their learning, a tutor can move at the pace of their student and tailor teaching methods for that individual specifically. Secondly, a…

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…

Good grades can help a student for a year, but good discipline will help a student their entire life. When I am teaching, not only…

Motivating them is probably the most important, as students can be brilliant but fall behind quickly if they do not have the drive to improve.

I believe that the tutor shouldn't be the one always in control and leading the session. Especially in early sessions, I believe the tutor should encourage the student to ask many questions of them, to grasp what they know and how they interpret different topics. Tutoring almost becomes useless if the tutor is the one constantly talking because…

Inside EastlakesTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 6 student Regan worked on mastering probability concepts, including calculating probabilities and practicing with targeted homework for an upcoming test.
In Year 10, Sara explored creative writing through character development and plot structure, then shifted to planning a discursive presentation by mapping out weekly goals and selecting suitable texts.
Meanwhile, a Year 11 student tackled advanced calculus topics such as integration and the application of differentiation, focusing on solving optimisation problems using worked examples.
Recent Challenges
In Year 11 English, a student's creative writing lacked depth in characterisation—characters felt one-dimensional, limiting the emotional impact of her stories.
For a Year 12 essay, missing or incomplete homework meant feedback on textual analysis and flow could not be provided, delaying improvement. As noted by one tutor: "Homework was sent however was not completed. For feedback and improvement it is extremely crucial she finishes homework."
Meanwhile, a senior maths student struggled to select appropriate formulas in new topics; this confusion often arose when revision focused only on familiar question types rather than broadening problem-solving skills for exams.
Recent Achievements
One Eastlakes tutor noticed a Year 11 student who started the term hesitant to ask questions is now actively seeking clarification on tricky essay topics, even challenging interpretations and linking themes independently—something he'd avoided before.
In another session, a high school maths student who was unsure about maxima and minima at first worked through practice HSC-style problems until she could solve them confidently on her own.
Meanwhile, a younger student recently began writing down feedback after lessons without being prompted and asked for extra practice questions to improve—a big shift from previously staying quiet during reviews.
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 Mascot Library (incl. the George Hanna Memorial Museum)—or at your child's school (with permission), like Eastlakes Public School.
