Firstly, I believe that an Academic Tutor is an important job position which requires an individual to holistically support students to achieve their personal and academic goals. In addition, I believe that tutoring should take a personalised approach to teach students specific academic skills which will help them achieve their own developmental…

Whilst a tutor is only present with their student for a limited time, they can help by providing a clear understanding of what the syllabus wants and giving resources. They are also there to answer and clarify a student’s questions and assist in developing a structured work routine. Since I have recently completed the HSC and have studied the…

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not teach them how to answer a specific question but to ensure they understand the logic behind the answering methodology. I suspect that this may be hard for some students at first but I am confident that they will be able to get the most out of mathematics and other…

Building the trust between the tutor and the student is what I believe it is most important. I felt that if I didn't build the trust with my students, then no matter how much I try, they will not improve. Therefore, building trust - looking confident and knowing what I am doing. My strength is making sure the students understand the concepts.…

The most important thing for a tutor is that they explicitly explain concepts to a student. This should be done in a way that makes the most intuitive sense to the student. Also, for me, it is essential that a tutor, as well as teaching students, teaches them how to study by themselves and how to teach themselves. This should be done by providing…

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.
