To give to the student not only the knowledge of how a task is completed or formula applied, but an understanding of the logic in why this is utilised or possible. The ability to apply mathematics to a situation through the correct understanding of what needs to be done and what knowledge can be used to accomplish that end, is more necessary and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient and humble. While certain concepts may come naturally to the tutor, this is not always the case for the student. A good tutor recognizes that each student learns in their own way and at their own pace. Therefore, patience is essential in guiding the student toward…

Foster self-confidence in their subject areas, as the main hurdle many students face, is self-doubt in their ability, which causes them to give up on their courses. I know the content very well and have helped many of my peers overcome things they don't understand in the syllabus. So I am familiar with many of the common problems students face in…

Helping them to develop their own learning style, or styles, to perform in a variety of circumstances is one of the most critical things a tutor can impart on a student. Examinations and content will never be delivered in the exact same way, so providing students with the means to navigate the ambiguities of examination and focus purely on the…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to challenge yet support them in their studies. By challenging the student to do better, yet simultaneously reminding them that it is okay to fail, the student will feel inspired enough to try. Furthermore, it is extremely important to build a personal relationship with the…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be a source of inspiration and support.

Create a space of no judgement, there are a lot of questions that students find intimidating to ask in a class environment, so as a tutor, creating a safe space for them to ask those questions is the most important goal to achieve. Not only does this allow for a further understanding of a topic, but also allows the student to be able to enjoy the…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to engage in thorough discussions about their thought processes, providing real-time feedback.

Local Reviews

We just wanted to thank Thomas Ban for the wonderful work he has done with Jasmine this year. We feel that she has received these grades due to Thomas tutoring. He has challenged and pushed her to work harder and improve her maths. He is also extremely professional and courteous.

Inside Elanora HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Angelina worked on calculus questions, focusing on resolving small algebra errors in differentiation, and practiced past coordinate geometry problems including function shading.

Year 9 student Max reviewed trigonometry by identifying sides and using ratios for angles, then tackled quadratic equations from practice tests.

For primary level, Year 4 student Sarah concentrated on reading analog clocks to tell the time and practiced multiplication tables for fluency.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 English, an assignment draft was left until just days before the due date; as one tutor put it, "she let an English draft catch up to her," resulting in unnecessary stress and a rushed product.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 Biology student postponed starting a major table task for three consecutive lessons, only completing it after direct prompting.

In junior high mathematics, one student repeatedly skipped writing out steps when solving algebra problems—leading to confusion with sign errors and missed marks on tests.

A lack of timely revision or feedback use meant mistakes were repeated rather than resolved.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Elanora Heights noticed a big shift with one Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitation, finally started asking for help the moment she felt stuck on algebra steps—rather than staying quiet and guessing.

In another high school session, a Year 11 student celebrated her agriculture assignment mark jumping by nearly 25% from last term; she tackled it well ahead of the due date this time instead of leaving things to the last minute.

Meanwhile, a younger student is now confidently reading an analog clock independently after needing reminders just a few sessions ago.

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 Mona Vale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Elanora Heights Public School.
