The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be there for them, both through aid in academic studies and through personal encouragement. A tutor needs to make sure the student feels safe and understood, seen and heard. Therefore, I believe a tutor needs to just have faith in their students. That is the best and most important thing a…

Listen to them, let them teach you about themselves, let them have a go and try things and trial and error. No matter how many times they get it wrong they will always learn more by putting the effort in rather than just being given the answer. Also find out what techniques help them learn best, some students can pick up things in different ways…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, tailor learning to their individual needs, and create a supportive environment where they feel comfortable asking questions. It’s not just about helping them understand the material but also about teaching them how to think critically and approach…

English Tutor Gwynneville, NSW
Teach and help them learn by listening to what it is that they need help with. Each student is different so developing an individual way with each one is very important as a tutor. Honesty, if something is wrong with something I can tell a student how to fix it straight away. Another strength of mine is teaching someone how to do something rather…

Joseph

English Tutor Gwynneville, NSW
A tutor must not tell a student how to do something, but show and allow them to learn it. Consequently, the student will be able to apply what they have learned through their own capabilities. Additionally, a tutor should be able to infuse some interest in the subject even if the student finds no particular interest in the subject. This may seem…

Inside MangertonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Isla focused on simplifying fractions and using the correct order of operations, also practicing how to convert numbers to percentages.

For Year 11, Noah worked through statistics concepts including calculating mean and standard deviation, applying these to his homework tasks.

In Year 12, Natalia reviewed function topics by defining domain and range and practiced transformation questions from her Math syllabus for deeper understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student preparing for an upcoming exam repeatedly reviewed solved questions but avoided practicing them independently; as a tutor noted, "he needs to review the solutions and practice to make progress."

Meanwhile, in Year 11 Mathematics, another student showed hesitancy tackling new problems without guidance, preferring familiar examples instead of attempting similar questions alone—this limited deeper understanding before assessments.

In a primary context (Year 4), one learner struggled to recall multiplication strategies unless she practiced immediately after sessions, leading to gaps by the following week. Missed opportunities for solo revision or delayed follow-up meant uncertainty lingered during quizzes.

Recent Achievements

One Mangerton tutor noticed a real shift with Natalia in Year 10: after previously getting stuck on algebra, she now tackles problems independently and sticks with them until solved.

In a recent high school session, Zane arrived having worked through Chapter 2 by himself—he brought specific questions to discuss, showing new initiative instead of waiting passively for help.

Meanwhile, during a primary-level lesson, Noah was able to complete the "Test Yourself" section with just some guidance, rather than needing step-by-step prompting.

At the end of his session, Zane asked every question he'd prepared and understood each answer fully.

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 Mobile Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like The Illawarra Grammar School.
