Inspire students to understand the importance and broader concepts within mathematics. Also translate the mathematics to a way a student can understand - perhaps look at it more graphically, or by using a real world example - and by breaking down a complex problem into simple, easy to understand parts. I think I have a very versatile…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is prepare them for the unexpected. While it's important that the student can understand and solve general problems they may be presented with, the only way to achieve an A grade is to go above and beyond what is expected of them. This can only be achieved if the student is…

Adaptability is the most important skill to have as a tutor; providing this skill to my students will help them feel at ease when learning concepts. I believe as a tutor I strive to adapt to how each…

The important thing is to develop the student's ability to independently study. It is like that proverb 'Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.' There are going to be times where the student will find themselves in a position with an urgent question regarding their assignment which is…

Tutors should check for understanding as they go and constantly build confidence so that the student feels like their abilities are improving. When a student feels confident, wonderful things begin to happen. Their curiosity is ignited, and they are more likely to ask questions in class and read additional texts about things that interest them.…

Build interest. For younger student, most of them are still trying to find their interest in a certain field. The best thing I can do is to build interest with my humorous skill. Interest can lead students to an automatic learning mode, they will intake the related knowledge and digest them by themselves, and have the ability to do self-study,…

The first and foremost thing a tutor should do is to create interest in the subject that is being taught. The reason is simple, when the student is interested in learning the subject, a teacher's job is a cakewalk. A teacher should make the student believe that subjects like maths are pretty easy and interesting to learn. This can be done by…

Being able to help a student achieve future problems on their own by helping them understand how to do a problem rather than just providing the solution is one of the most important things I consider a tutor can do for a student. I also think it's important to be prepared to help them with their topics by preparing first myself. I believe my…

- A tutor can change their way of thinking towards some subjects. For instance, during their school class, they might think the subject is boring. But if tutor, teach them in a way to make it more fun and interesting then they like and start to grasp the knowledge quickly. - So the tutor can change their perception and eventually guide them to…

For me the most important thing a tutor can do is to guide the student in such a way that at the end of it, the student is able to lead by himself in the direction he was originally intended to go. It is similar to the lines of giving a man a fish to teaching him to fish. The tutor has to ignite the spark of interest in the student so that the…

I think tutors should be understanding to help them in the best way that they can, like being there for your students, not as a crutch but as someone who can amplify their learning.

The most important thing a tutor can do is give a student confidence in a subject they once hated or were afraid of and using that confidence to help them learn. Then once they want to learn more about the subject they may even love it as they are able to understand it. I am very patient, friendly and approachable. I have been tutored in the past…

Inside ForestvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Tom explored time calculations and worked through problems on perimeter and area.

In Year 10, Lily revised key features of polynomials for an upcoming test and practiced solving trigonometric equations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ben focused on sketching graphs using first and second derivatives, identifying turning points and inflection points with the help of sign diagrams.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student's chemistry report was flagged for unclear structure and weak communication of key points—layout and logical flow need improvement, as the tutor noted, "structure still not clearly and main point not communicated logically."

In Year 10, a student didn't complete assigned fractions problems over the holidays; this meant new material on polynomials felt rushed, with less time for feedback.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's messy worksheets made it hard to track formulas during graphing tasks.

In primary years, one child hesitated to draw diagrams in worded maths questions, making it harder to connect concepts when problem-solving under test conditions.

Recent Achievements

One Forestville tutor noted that a Year 11 student who previously struggled with test-style problem solving has begun pinpointing her own weaknesses and now proactively works through similar questions until she's satisfied—something she hadn't done before.

In a recent high school maths session, another student independently created a "cheat sheet" for an upcoming trigonometry test and remembered to use it during practice, showing more self-directed study habits than in earlier lessons.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who often missed parts of multi-step problems now double-checks her work unprompted and corrects mistakes on her own before moving on.

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