Software Dev Tutor Willoughby, NSW
I think communication is one of the most crucial skills. I believe every students, somehow, are capable of learning. So even though I don't have extraordinary skills to teach them, they will learn from my explanation. But I have to know where they are at the point of time to know exactly what and how I have to teach. Having an idea of what my…

While helping students learn is obviously important, the psychological and social aspects of tutoring are arguably much more important. A good tutor will help give their students the support and connection they need so that they can become better, more confident and independent learners. A good tutor will make their students feel comfortable,…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are threefold: - offering explanations of and guidance for specific topics and skills - matching the learning levels of the student whereas the content discussed should neither be too easy nor too demanding - tutoring in a non-judgemental fashion whereas failures are treated as…

First is to teach the student not only what to do but why they do it. This results in greater retention and a sense of meaning toward what they are studying which has a great motivating effect. Second, is to base learning off practice questions. I believe experience is the best and fastest way to learn - thus i will focus on producing good…

Show the student how to learn something. If a tutor can explain another way of looking at problems so that the student understands how to approach them, its the most useful thing for them.

I consider patience to be the most important virtue in a tutor, setting small checkpoints between certain topics is a good strategy. A tutor should always pause and ask if the student has any questions or doubts about the concept. A tutor should make the student feel comfortable around them and they should not hesitate to ask any questions - no…

Guide the student and not give them the answer straight away. Let them develop the critical thinking needed for each type of problem. This is especially important in programming.

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.
