A tutor should be fair and promote independent thinking rather than just giving answers. Encouraging students to analyze problems, develop strategies, and build logical reasoning skills is essential. Another key role is boosting confidence—many students struggle not due to a lack of ability, but self-doubt. By providing structured learning,…

The most crucial role of a tutor is to avoid skipping steps unless the student fully comprehends the material.

Make the concept easy enough for them to understand. Secondly, allowing for all types of questions to be asked.

Personally, a tutor is someone outside of school who the student can rely on for their studies. Students show their vulnerability here so that tutor can build them to be strong at school. So a tutor can help the student be strong on their subjects and understand the subject with life. Understanding the student on what they need first and being…

A good tutor needs to have a variety of qualities in order to bring out the best in a student. Tutors need to be able to personalize learning, no two students learn the same and as such it would be incorrect to assume that the same teaching strategy will work for every student. Tutors should also not simply teach content to students, they need to…

Local Reviews

Quality and experienced maths tutoring from Jes. This whole experience has been so personalised and streamlined and has given me such peace of mind. The first hour free was such a bonus. The phone call follow up from start to finish was great. I would not hesitate to recommend this tutoring service to anyone. My daughter was doubtful at first but there was an immediate change in her maths outlook for a great start to high school.
Simone Wright, Figtree

Inside FigtreeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Isla worked on simplifying fractions and understanding order of operations, also converting numbers to percentages.

For Year 9, Tom tackled algebraic expressions as well as survey-based questions from his worksheets.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Natalia focused on key concepts in algebra and completed final exercises with feedback to consolidate her skills.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student revising transformations in Maths skipped horizontal reflection and scaling, leading to confusion when new examples appeared—"he'll need to revisit these areas for clarity," the tutor noted.

In Year 2, one learner's sums suffered when she rushed through calculations, sometimes forgetting whether to add or subtract; homework showed improvement, but quiz settings brought back the habit.

Meanwhile, a tired Year 3 child lost focus during backwards counting, stalling progress with place value changes.

Across senior grades (Years 10–12), several students reviewed solutions only superficially before exams, leaving them unable to independently reconstruct steps under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

A Figtree tutor recently noticed Annabelle, a Year 11 student, quickly grasped horizontal and vertical transpositions of x² graphs—something she'd hesitated with in earlier sessions.

Tyson (Year 9) made a shift from waiting for answers to recalling information himself when prompted, then applying it directly to questions without second-guessing.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student surprised her tutor by completing all her homework with zero mistakes after previously struggling to remember carrying tens during addition; she even tackled simple subtraction independently.

In the same week, Natalia worked through algebra problems on her own for the first time after initial uncertainty.

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