I believe there are several critical roles a tutor can play in a student's academic journey. These include clarifying concepts, providing individualized support, building confidence and promoting independence. On an academic level I find my strengths to be science and mathematics. I enjoyed taking these subjects throughout school and have…

A tutor must be able to develop and understand a student. A student will need to understand the concept themselves and it is our job to assist them to understand any issues that arise in their development. To put it simply, tutors are guides and the student is the captain. Therefore we must be able to resonate with each student and treat each one…

Most tutors forget that students never enjoy tutoring, so it is important to set interesting challenges to keep students motivated and also polishing their skills using unorthodox methods. Too much of the time tutors just read off the textbook and don't provide alternative methods or keep the students' focus on their work. I believe the students…

I think a tutor can most importantly help a student with the concepts that they are struggling with in school and also helping students learn concepts that their school hasn't gone through yet so that once they do, it'll be revision for them rather than learning it for the first time. This particularly helped me when I was doing my HSC.…

Ultimately, a tutor must teach his/her student to be able to rely on themselves and think autonomously when problem solving i.e. not to be afraid of trial and error. I would say my strengths are attributes such as patience with the student (repetition when necessary), determination in getting the message across, and a friendly attitude towards all…

Inside GymeaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Talia worked through simplifying algebraic fractions and practiced changing the subject of equations, using step-by-step substitution.

In Year 10, Adam tackled sketching reciprocal and cubic functions as well as exploring transformations in the number plane with guided examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Alex focused on calculus by practicing differentiation from first principles and applying short methods to a range of function types.

Recent Challenges

During a recent Year 7 session, a student arrived without their book, requiring the tutor to provide extra materials and adjust the lesson flow.

In Year 11 Maths, one student worked quickly but "missed transferring signs or numbers," which led to calculation errors that were only caught during review.

Another Year 12 Physics student struggled to organize written work when tackling multi-step problems; this made it harder to spot where misunderstandings occurred.

A lack of regular homework completion was also noted in several cases—one Year 9 learner was given tasks for follow-up after not bringing finished practice questions.

Recent Achievements

One Gymea tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to lose marks for sign errors now double-checks her answers without prompting, after specific feedback on number accuracy.

In a recent high school session, another student who hesitated to tackle challenge questions in trigonometry began independently attempting the tougher problems and showed real persistence before asking for help.

A primary-aged learner, previously reluctant to review her own work, has started going back through completed maths exercises to catch and fix mistakes on her own initiative—last lesson she found and corrected two calculation slips herself.

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 Miranda Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Gymea Technology High School.
