As a tutor, I believe that adapting my teaching style to fit the student is the most important thing as it allows the student to learn and understand the content deeper. I also think it's really important to help students to become individual learners. This is achieved through building a positive environment where the student is comfortable enough…

My role as a tutor is not to manufacture a result, it is only to facilitate the student's journey in learning. This is why the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is guide them through their own journey, being present with them in times of difficulty to instruct and clarify questions they need answered most. This extends beyond just…

Most importantly a tutor needs to have empathy for his or her students. Being able to take them on a journey of learning and fun so they become more and more curious and are able to learn through keen interest and out of the box thinking is what a tutor should do for students. I would consider patience, kindness, logical thinking and being able to…

Every student has his own mind, not everyone has the ability to catch up with the content of the lecture/course. It's important for every tutor to find students who are facing problems in classrooms and make them feel they too have the ability to be successful in the course. Whenever a student feels he won't be able to succeed its every tutor's…

As a tutor apart from the subject we need to teach ethics, moral values. And how to overcome the problems they are facing in a day to day life. My major strength is my experience. Because I've been teaching so long I've taught almost every course we offer. As a result, I've told both my chairman and the Principal to do my classes last; I'll be…

A tutors primary task is to help the student with what they want to be helped with, and as a part of that accommodating to their individual needs and goals. Doing anything else would simply be disingenuous. It is worth noting further that accommodating to the student's needs in any way reasonable is quite close to the most important thing a tutor…

I think the most important something a tutor can do for a student when it comes to trying to teach them is, being close to them and on their level. That way, it is easier for the student to absorb information coming from you as it would feel like the information is coming from a friend and not someone who is greater than them or better than them…

Personally, tutoring for me is more then just learning about maths or science. When I was in highschool, I found myself under constant anxiety over my studies, especially over year 11 and 12, always thinking that maybe I was falling behind or panicking that I alone couldn't understand. For me, a tutor was more then just a place to learn, it was an…

Few viable things which a tutor can do to help the students are: a) Deliver to them motivational thoughts and constantly encouraging them to do well. b) Critically thinking about any difficulty which might pose a hurdle in the pathway of student's learning and bring-forth ways to mitigate it. As a tutor, I believe to have the following…

To listen and understand their own difficulty and try to help them in a way, that only works for that particular student.

Inside GlenhavenTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Maya focused on critical path analysis for project management scenarios and practiced advanced statistics skills including calculating z-scores, standard deviation, and mean.

Year 11 student Oliver completed past HSC geometry and probability questions, working through selective school exam papers to strengthen understanding of key problem types.

For Year 9, Ethan revised area and volume calculations along with probability concepts using a mix of recent exam papers to build confidence for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Mathematics, one student missed several lessons due to TAFE commitments and now faces a backlog of material to catch up on—this has led to gaps in exam preparation, as noted: "Should catch up on lessons missed out due to TAFE asap."

A Year 8 student consistently avoided showing full working for algebra questions; the tutor observed, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

In Year 4, another learner forgot about a scheduled lesson entirely. These moments meant time was spent recovering lost ground or correcting avoidable mistakes instead of moving forward with new content.

Recent Achievements

A Glenhaven tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to hesitate with probability questions now independently draws accurate probability trees after just a brief demonstration.

In another session, a Year 9 student who once waited for hints began practicing past exam papers on her own initiative, identifying her weak spots before lessons.

Meanwhile, one of the younger students surprised their tutor by tackling long division worksheets confidently on the very first attempt—a big shift from last term's nervousness around new maths topics. The lesson ended with her solving every question without help.

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 Dural Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Glenhaven Public School.
