PDHPE Tutor Manly Vale, NSW
More important than the marks or goals - in my opinion - is the development of confidence in the students ability to connect and understand the learning process of being unable to do something, setting goals, working, and ultimately learning the skill/content. Coming out of high school with a confidence in ones ability to learn and acheive is…

PDHPE Tutor East Killara, NSW
I believe the most important things a tutor can do is be trusted by the student and beneficially help the student with lots of positive reinforcement rather than condescendingly negatively motivating them. Within this, it is important to create a supportive environment where the student can admit they still don't understand a topic, so that the…

A good tutor should help their student develop a love for what they are learning. When this is done successfully, this has a knock-on effect on the student's results as they are more engaged with the content they are learning. This starts with the tutor being passionate about the content they are teaching and being determined to push the student…

I believe that supporting a student emotionally is important for tutors. Oftentimes, academics and grades become the priority - however, emotional and mental wellbeing is important. A tutor who is invested in the student's wellbeing and acts in their best interests, such as by gauging their level of stress and lending a helping hand when they are…

Helping them to develop their own learning style, or styles, to perform in a variety of circumstances is one of the most critical things a tutor can impart on a student. Examinations and content will never be delivered in the exact same way, so providing students with the means to navigate the ambiguities of examination and focus purely on the…

By challenging the student to do better, yet simultaneously reminding them that it is okay to fail, the student will feel inspired enough to try. Furthermore, it is extremely important to build a personal relationship with the…

Inside Middle CoveTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Izzy focused on fraction operations and percentages, using revision sheets to pinpoint strengths and gaps.

Year 9 student Ella worked through linear relationships and algebraic equations in preparation for an upcoming topic test.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sophie revised coordinate geometry concepts, specifically the distance formula and Pythagoras' method for finding interval lengths, applying these to practice problems with diagrams where helpful.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student working on percentages showed good understanding but could increase speed with more targeted practice—slower pacing meant less time for new concepts.

In a senior maths session, a tutor observed "past papers revision must be done," as the student had focused mostly on familiar problems and avoided tackling harder, unfamiliar exam questions.

Another high school student over-complicated ratio tasks, which made timed exam practice stressful and led to unfinished sections.

Meanwhile, in English, one secondary student struggled to develop richer dialogue in creative writing, resulting in flat characters and limited narrative tension.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Middle Cove recently noticed a big shift with Izzy, who used to hesitate before answering but now attempts maths questions independently and is less afraid to share her reasoning out loud.

In Year 12 Physics, Kristina initially felt overwhelmed by Advanced Mechanics, so she worked with the tutor to revisit Trigonometry first—now she's actively identifying concepts that need extra attention each session.

Another high school student, Cael, has moved from sticking to simple story ideas to experimenting with dialogue and character profiles for writing tasks. Last session, he developed a full story outline without prompting.

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 Castlecrag Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Glenaeon Rudolf Steiner School.
