I consider the most important that a tutor can do is able to do is simply a topic or break down said topic into digestible portions such that the student is able to catch onto the content of the work easily and effectively. With a good understanding of the topic and the skills to explain its contents to the student, the tutor ensures that the…

I believe taking time out to understand and know where the student needs help or is struggling is the most important factor. By finding out the parts that they may lack and need improvement is what allows a tutor to focus on teaching the student in a more individualised and specific to the student. I think my strengths as a tutor belong to the…

First and foremost, a tutor should be able to connect with students on a personal level. The tutor should facilitate students to seek knowledge for themselves. The tutor should establish new ways to help students learn how to do work independently. I possess excellent organizational and communication skills. I also have good subject knowledge and…

The most important thing in tutoring is patience...lots of patience. It's often the case that repeating a concept - however many times, and sometimes in different ways - helps the student really come to grips with it. I think the mark of a good teacher is how much repetition they can tolerate in the course of their instruction. My main strength is…

Inside JamisontownTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 Shivani focused on Spectroscopy and light as well as the forces involved in circular motion, using a mix of multiple choice and short response questions.

For Year 11, revision with Alex included interpreting and sketching functions along with trig applications from her school's exam booklet.

Meanwhile, Year 9 Katie worked through probability problems involving independent events and card scenarios, then practiced applying Pythagoras' theorem to complex word problems.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 Mathematics, one student showed reluctance to write full solutions when setting up series and manipulating algebra, leading to missed connections between question wording and required methods; as noted, "he currently isn't naturally seeing what the question is asking of him."

In Year 10, another avoided regular home practice—concepts from previous sessions had to be re-taught during tutorials instead of advancing.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner occasionally omitted units in word problems, causing confusion about final answers. This left extra time spent clarifying expectations or re-learning rather than consolidating new skills.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Jamisontown recently noticed Shivani making a breakthrough with circular motion—an area she'd previously struggled to master. She now works through exam-style questions independently and applies key concepts without prompting.

In another session, Alistair (Year 11) shifted from passively listening to actively deconstructing problems; he now checks his solutions using the formula sheet and asks clarifying questions when stuck instead of staying silent.

Meanwhile, Katie in Year 6 has moved from needing frequent reminders about fraction addition to accurately solving word problems involving fractions on her own and explaining her reasoning out loud.

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 Penrith City Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Jamisontown Public School.
