The key to helping them achieve greater achievements is to identify the anxieties holding them back. It's also crucial to recognize the learning preferences and strengths of the students. I am able to translate an abstract concept into a definition that is easy to visualise and understand. I'm also really good at motivating other people. I still…

An amazing tutor goes beyond academic teaching to understand the unique emotional needs of their students. As a kid, I have always wanted someone to be by my side, free from the shackles of my parents or relatives, a teacher who could listen and understand to my needs. However, I never had one. In spite of this, I managed to be a tutor I have…

The most important thing is to teach them about the ways to learn, take in and process the knowledge, how to answer the questions or write essays. Not just providing them with the Anders but to train them to do their own critical thinking. I’m very patient and willing to go over the same concept or clarify things for my students until they…

Being a tutor is a very vital role in any students life. Tutor job is not only to assist them with their studies but also guide them with their career.

In my opinion, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help him gain confidence in himself and his abilities in the subject being taught. Indeed, from my personal experience, self-confidence plays a big role in success especially in mathematics, combined with solid knowledge of course. My strengths as a tutor are my master's…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach them to learn for themselves. It is easy to rote memorize a formula or a text, but to be able to teach someone how they can teach themselves and to show them how to problem solve so that they can attack problems independently is far more valuable I believe my strengths as a…

I think tutors should give their students the confidence to try things even if they’re not sure if they’re right, as often students with a low belief of their abilities will struggle to attempt questions even when they are capable of completing them partially or fully. By slowly building up their confidence, small knock backs can be less…

The most important thing a tutor can do is empower the student to think for themselves. It’s not just about solving problems, it’s about building their ability to approach any problem with strategy and confidence. That starts with creating a safe space for questions, removing the fear of being wrong, and offering consistent feedback. I also…

Using a tailored learning program for all abilities and expectations, and an unfailing growth mindset, a tutor should provide students with a love of learning that leads to internal fulfillment and a virtuous cycle where concepts are pursued willingly, and thus, more thoroughly. However, a tutor is not only a teacher, but a mentor; they should…

Having empathy, because not all content comes too easy for students as it does for us, obviously. Having patience, because it can be frustrating if a tutor just expects a student to "get it" immediately. Being kind. This seems obvious but you may be surprised the number of teachers I've had and met who are not kind, and they are extremely hard…

Inside GlebeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Chloe focused on solving algebraic equations by finding the value of x and practiced simplifying expressions, as well as working through percentage problems such as increasing or decreasing values and calculating GST.

In Year 9, Liam worked on ratios and rates with practical examples and was introduced to basic factorisation skills.

For a younger learner in Year 5, Emma strengthened her understanding of area calculations alongside strategies for division using visual models.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student missed a scheduled Zoom lesson, meaning they lost out on targeted feedback just before a key trigonometry assessment.

For one Year 11, "notes were disorganised and it was difficult to find the formulas for cosine rule when revising," which slowed down practice and led to confusion in test conditions.

In Year 8, errors in homework weren't reviewed, so similar mistakes kept appearing with ratios and percentages.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner's times tables practice focused only on familiar numbers—new patterns were avoided if they felt uncertain or slow, causing hesitation when solving multi-step word problems under time pressure.

Recent Achievements

One Glebe tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to show working now carefully explains each algebraic step aloud, especially when evaluating tricky fractions.

Another high schooler began the term making frequent errors with quadratic equations but recently completed an entire worksheet without needing hints—self-correcting two mistakes along the way.

For a younger learner in Year 4, times tables had been a real challenge, yet last session he jumped straight into practice questions and got nearly all of them right without prompting or counting on fingers.

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 Glebe Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St James Catholic Primary School.
