One of the most important things for me would be the tutor's ability to listen and understand a student's query patiently, as it influences how the same content can be tailored differently for a better understanding of the individual. Also, the ability to adequately motivate a topic helps students develop a higher interest and enjoy what they…

I think the most important thing is not only being decent at explaining and individually creating a good tutoring plan for the student but also to be empathetic. Without empathy, the student will not feel like the tutor understands their struggles and is truly trying to help them. Apart from showing them that understanding and kindly communicating…

In my perspective mathematics is all about practice, understanding concepts and master them. Tutor's job is to make students understand the concepts but at the same time, they should not spoon feed them by constraining them to certain important questions only! Student should be able to do all types of questions and apply the concepts in daily life…

Teach them how to think independently, and provide them with a way of thinking efficiently. Math is not a discipline in which someone does enough problems and can solve all the problems, but a discipline that requires people to constantly think about questions. So if one only knows to let students do lots of problems then he might not be a good…

A tutor is not there to do a student's homework for them but rather to help them think and problem solve in new ways so that they can complete their work more effectively and be a more independent learner. Thus, a tutor can help by bringing with themselves a large amount of knowledge in the subject area(s) and by having a patient and understanding…

The tutor must be able to eliminate every question or doubt a student has on a subject or concept and enable the student to comprehend the information not just for scoring grades, but, for understanding and using the information in any scenario which requires it. Hence, the tutor must be able to inculcate this idea in the student and facilitate…

The most important thing a tutor can do is create an environment in which the student feels comfortable asking questions and encouraging them to work hard and commit to learning.

Madi has helped my daughter immensely with her studies over the past year.

Inside ForrestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Sarah worked on solving surface area and trigonometry problems, focusing on applying formulas to real-world contexts.

In Year 10, Ethan completed revision for a test on indices and logarithms, as well as practicing questions on financial maths including compound interest.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Priya tackled matrix operations—addition, multiplication—and applied these skills to problem solving tasks drawn from her current curriculum.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, a student repeatedly avoided writing out steps when solving algebraic equations, saying "I know the answer in my head," which led to sign errors that went unnoticed until checking time.

A Year 12 student preparing for calculus struggled to keep work neat and concise during folio tasks; as a tutor noted, "the more jumbled her layout, the harder it was for both of us to follow her reasoning."

In a Year 11 session, another student hesitated to attempt challenging questions independently—once prompted, progress was made, but initial uncertainty slowed momentum and left less time for feedback.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Forrest recently noticed Eliza, a Year 10 student, is now catching her own mistakes when rearranging equations—a big step up from last term, when she'd often wait for hints.

Meanwhile, Ajay in Year 12 has started asking more targeted questions about calculus problems instead of just nodding along, showing real ownership over his learning.

In a younger group, Jordan (Year 6) has begun explaining the rules of indices out loud while working through practice questions—something he used to avoid for fear of getting them wrong.

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