I believe a tutor's primary goal should be to provide students with a strong foundation of knowledge and a resilient problem-solving framework, not only to tackle academic challenges but also to navigate any obstacle life may present. An empowering tutor equips…

The most important thing a teacher can teach a student is something about how they learn best, like what techniques, environements, etc. they need to learn effectively. This is not only a skill that will help them any time they need to learn something in the future, but also something that will help them enjoy the process. I think I have excellent…

I consider being empathetic and adaptive for students is highly important.

Adaptability is also a key component for a tutor as not every…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is build a student's confidence and make learning feel approachable. When students feel supported and understood, they're far more likely to engage, ask questions, and take risks, which is where real growth happens!

The most important thing a tutor could do for a student is show them that every student responds to education in the same way or at the same pace and whichever way they process information is perfectly normal.

One of the important that a tutor can do for a student is being a good listener. Before heading towards the subject content the tutor needs to listen to their students. We need to know their mood and level of understanding in order to continue. There is no use in continuing with the subject if the student doesn't understand anything, so the tutor…

Inside McMahons PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Soraya worked on properties of quadrilaterals and triangles, focusing on congruency tests and identifying information from these, as well as composite area problems using coordinate planes.

In Year 10, Daniel tackled trigonometry revision—including sine rule applications—and also reviewed geometry fundamentals such as angle relationships.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Mia concentrated on linear algebra through assignment work and revision sessions, plus was introduced to networks and diagrams using visual representations to solidify understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, a student revised only teacher-provided "easy" questions before an assessment; as a tutor observed, "the areas we worked on less as he felt confident were weaker in the test."

Another high schooler avoided writing out algebraic working for problem-solving, preferring decimals, and hesitated to attempt harder questions.

During a senior Skype lesson, technical issues with note visibility meant steps weren't always clear—making it hard to spot errors together.

In Year 7 geometry, incomplete written revision made it difficult to pinpoint where test marks were lost. Without consistent practice and visible working, misconceptions lingered into assessments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mcmahons Point recently saw Charlie, a Year 11 student, move from hesitating over box plots to independently constructing them and comparing data sets with accuracy.

In another session, Harry—who used to get stuck on trigonometry—now breezes through complex problems at a steady pace, rarely needing prompts.

Meanwhile, Soraya (Year 4) surprised her tutor by self-correcting an error on her homework without any hints and confidently explained how angles combine to form right or straight lines. She finished the lesson by showing a new way to solve practice test questions using her own strategies.

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 Stanton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cameragal Montessori School, North Sydney Campus.
