Make them feel grounded and comfortable in their present studies so that they may be prepared for the studies in future. This comes in tandem with teaching a guise of humility and realism of the student and their future endeavours. Humorous, empathetic, patient and the ability to apply a unique perspective if necessary. These qualities make it…

Encourage them! Sometimes the issue isn't in the difficulty of the concept, but that they don't believe in themselves. I believe bringing the right attitude of positive reinforcement can really make a difference as well as demonstrating a ton of examples, so the student can establish a pattern. I believe everyone can be good at Maths. It just…

At the fundamental level a tutor's role is to make sure that a student understands the material. Therefore, the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to go over mistakes made in previous tests/assessments and ensure the student has a good understanding of the previously covered topics and principles before moving on. Additionally,…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is give the student a complete and well-rounded understanding of the topic or question.

The most important part of tutoring in my opinion is being able to adapt to different students requirements, and noticing what each student needs most from you. Some students need someone to slowly work through problems and teach them the process, while others need someone to help enforce good habits and routines rather than purely just teaching,…

I think a tutor should not only serve as a teacher of sorts, but also a mentor. It's important that a student can look up to their tutor to give them the drive and confidence to continue learning since they have a role model who supported them in their learning and accomplishments. Tutors should also give students the tools needed to not only…

A tutor must be capable of two main acts. The tutor must be dedicated to their student.

Students spend a major part of a day in school. Many children are unable to get the most of it due to time-constraints and lack of individual attention in a class. However, there are a few students who maintain attention and focus in a classroom environment. Reason is they are more prepared than the rest. If a child follows what is happening in…

totally 100% happy with my childs maths tutor - he is patient & explains things in a simple way that she understands
Donna, Hillarys

Inside HillarysTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ava practised rearranging equations into y = mx + c form and drawing linear graphs, using graph paper to visualise gradients and intercepts.

For Year 7, Ethan worked on identifying acute, obtuse, right, and reflex angles as well as calculating unknown angles within diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Oliver focused on consumer arithmetic—solving questions about investments and both simple and compound interest—and tackled complex currency exchange problems with real-world examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, one student struggled to refine notes and organize revision for tests—"he needs to improve his study organisation," as observed during exam preparation. This led to missed connections between formulas and their real-world applications.

In Year 8, messy written work and skipped steps in algebra ("incorrect formatting when solving algebraic equations") made it hard to spot arithmetic errors before they became habits.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner often forgot key fraction processes and avoided using pen and paper, so confusion built up across lessons. By the end, motivation dipped whenever worded problems caused overwhelm and uncertainty.

Recent Achievements

A Hillarys tutor noticed a Year 10 student, previously hesitant with algebraic inequalities, now solving multi-step questions three times faster than before—even managing to spot and fix his own formatting mistakes along the way.

In another session, a Year 11 student who struggled to apply mathematical processes from worded problems began independently figuring out which strategies fit each question type without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who once needed step-by-step support with long addition and subtraction is now working through column sums solo and tackling new questions on her own initiative.

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 Whitford Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Mark's Anglican Community School.
