One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is give them a personalised teaching experience. Often there are other factors at play in the progress of a student's learning than just their mental ability. Being able to recognise and connect to the child will open up numerous learning pathways to allow them to reach their full…

Science Tutor Mona Vale, NSW
A tutor needs to provide their student with support, tools, skills and most importantly understanding of how they can effectively approach their studies and achieve the best possible results they can. A tutor should also make their student feel comfortable, creating a sense of trust between them and allowing for more effective tutoring sessions.…

Science Tutor Clareville, NSW
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…

Science Tutor Bilgola Plateau, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to give them the confidence that they have the ability to learn. Tutors shouldn't be doing the work for the student but rather giving them the tools required to continue to grow and become active learners even after the tutoring session has ended. I am very patient, kind and empathetic and I…

Tutors should be willing to listen and work well with students to achieve their personal goals. Tutors must foster or inspire a strong work ethic within students, motivating them to strive to reach their personal best. Aside from increasing a student's comprehension of particular subjects, tutors should highlight the importance of speaking up and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be a source of inspiration and support. I believe all students are equally capable and that with a little bit of tutor motivation and support, they can grow. I would consider my biggest strength to be my patience. I understand that some kids may not be as quick as others and I don't mind…

I believe that the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is help them find a passion for learning and guide them in their studies so that the student can find a subject or a topic that they are passionate about and love. I think that the most important thing for a student is not only the grade that they achieve but also the…

It's the responsibility of a tutor to meet students where they are at. Tutors should come to learn the boundaries of what their students do and do not understand and create structure and context for pushing those boundaries to ultimately envelop the knowledge they need to succeed. This can sometimes mean "back-filling" missing knowledge or…

Science Tutor Narrabeen, NSW
One of the most important skills I believe a tutor can develop is the art of explaining material in different ways. Often, when students struggle to understand some concept, explaining the material in the same way repeatedly does not help. The key then is to try approaching the material in different ways until the student can grasp it. Past tutees…

Inside Elvina BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Max reviewed linear relationships and practiced constructing graphs from tables and points.

For Year 12, Sarah focused on financial mathematics, tackling HSC sample questions on simple and compound interest as well as depreciation.

Meanwhile, Olivia (Year 12) worked through exam revision using past HSC trial papers, with a particular focus on normal distribution problems and strategies for continuous probability distributions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 mathematics, one student was encouraged to "practice without notes," but consistently reached for the formula sheet instead of recalling key steps independently during complex normal distribution problems.

In a Year 9 algebra session, messy working and skipping layout made it hard to track sign errors—"missed details in the question led to wrong answers," as one tutor observed.

A senior student practicing under timed exam conditions tended to focus only on familiar question types, avoiding tougher unfamiliar variations and missing out on building confidence for actual assessment scenarios.

Recent Achievements

One Elvina Bay tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to rush through algebra and make repeated errors—now, after focused sessions, she shows real patience working through problems step by step and even uses her improved skills on harder questions without prompting.

Another high schooler came to a recent session with specific questions already prepared, rather than waiting passively; this new initiative helped him quickly master tricky differentiation topics he'd struggled with last term.

A Year 5 student who once forgot key techniques is now recalling content from previous weeks and confidently applying it to new problems.

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 St Luke's Grammar School, Bayview Campus.
