PDHPE Tutor Double Bay, NSW
The most important thing that anyone can do for their student is to have them realise that everyone started where they are starting, nobody was born knowing anything, and just because you don't understand a concept now, doesn't mean you won't ever understand it. My strength come from the way I approach a student, I work with them, and build on…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to ignite a student's curiosity and passion for learning. When a student finds joy in the process, success naturally follows.

One of the most important things a tutor can do, other than assisting them to excel in all areas of learning is to instil them with the confidence to learn. This is crucial as it allows students to believe that school work/learning is to be something that is fun rather than a “chore†or boring. Once this occurs, the student begins to engage…

I think the best thing a tutor can do is make learning feel achievable. A big part of that is adapting to how each student learns, breaking things down in a way that makes sense to them, and giving them the confidence to tackle challenges on their own. Tutoring isn't just about getting through the syllabus, it's about showing students how to think…

It is so important for tutors to adapt their method of teaching to the way the student learns. Every student not only has different needs and difficulties, but learns concepts differently.

Inside EdgecliffTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Lily focused on fractions and circle geometry, practising calculations and using diagrams to reinforce understanding, while also revising key algebraic skills.

In Year 10, Ethan worked through logarithms and exponentials by solving equations and applying index laws to real examples.

For Year 4, Olivia concentrated on multiplication tables (2s and 3s) as well as telling the time using both written exercises and clock-based questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, messy written work and excessive crossing out made it hard to check solutions or spot where sign errors occurred—"needs to stop crossing out mistakes," noted one tutor.

A Year 12 Chemistry student hesitated when approaching back titration questions, lacking confidence in extracting key details from complex prompts.

In Year 4 maths, heavy reliance on finger counting and number charts slowed progress with addition over 10; this was especially evident without visual aids.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student reading too quickly missed crucial comprehension points in English tasks, often misinterpreting the question's requirements.

Recent Achievements

One Edgecliff tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated with pH calculations now tackling multi-step problems independently and even explaining polyprotic acids in her own words.

In another high school session, a Year 10 student moved from confusion to confidently applying the quadratic formula, solving equations with minimal guidance.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once relied heavily on counting boards surprised her tutor by checking her own work using skip-counting strategies she suggested herself—something she'd never tried before—and then finishing a missing numbers exercise entirely on her own.

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