Science Tutor Greenwich, NSW
Tutors must be flexible in their assistance to students through recognising individual learning preferences. Hence, they must cater to one's level of academic proficiency, their learning weaknesses and holes in education to provide a tangible improvement in grades. I have recent experience undertaking high school Extension 1 and 2 Mathematics,…

Science Tutor Lane Cove, NSW
In my opinion, a tutor can act as the bridge between the student and the learning outcome. I feel the job of a tutor is to instill confidence in the child and inculcate a joy of learning the subject. My job as a tutor is to administer lessons to students in such a way to adapt to his capabilities and to meld the subject matter with his interest in…

Science Tutor Wollstonecraft, NSW
To me, the most essential role a tutor can fulfill is that of an enabler and empowerer. 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…

Be patient. Tutors cannot expect students to understand or get the question right the first time. It is important for tutors to understand where the student went wrong and to slowly and easily correct them by following the question. Once they grasped an understanding, tutors should give the student similar questions to practice so they are…

The most important thing a tutor can do is recognise their students ability level and mould their teaching to that level. This insures that the kids do not feel out of depth, but also they are learning new things every session. I am a very social and friendly person making it easy for me to build strong rapport with the students, and as a result…

I think the most important thing may be to identify the individual needs of the student. During my work as an educational-psychological advisor, I used to write detailed reports outlining the student's strengths, learning style, and goals. When this was followed up, it made a very positive impact on the student's learning outcomes. I believe that…

I consider being able know the student's strength and weakness and explain them the topic accordingly to be the most important thing. People have different strengths, weakness and thinking capabilities. Tutors should be able to understand that and make sure that the way they are teaching should not be neither too overwhelming nor too boring/easy…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is being prepared.

Additionally, the tutor needs to maintain…

As a tutor I think my greatest strengths are bringing in a passion and enjoyment for the subjects I tutor and…

Having both been the tutee and the tutor, I believe that it is imperative that a tutor is supportive of the student and caters their teaching to the student's specific needs.

A tutor should not just teach, but they should listen to their students, seek feedback and use that to improve their teaching. It is important to develop trust with students so that they feel comfortable asking questions, expressing their concerns and identifying topics that they may want to strengthen. In doing so, the tutor can gain a greater…

I believe that the tutor shouldn't be the one always in control and leading the session. Especially in early sessions, I believe the tutor should encourage the student to ask many questions of them, to grasp what they know and how they interpret different topics. Tutoring almost becomes useless if the tutor is the one constantly talking because…

A tutor needs to inspire the students in such a way that they know what their efforts will make them accomplish. A very few teachers are able to provide the contextual applications of what they teach the students. I believe it is paramount that a student know about WHY he is being taught something.

A tutor should be there to support the student through all academic struggles they are facing and help the student reach all their academic goals. The tutor should be familiar with their students learning style and preferences, then adjust their tutoring to suit. A tutor should also create a safe environment where the student feels they can ask…

In my university course, as well as my experience with high school, we are taught to communicate our math and explain our…

Delila is a delight! She has established a great rapport with Isabella in the two lessons so far; and has expressed a commitment to helping Isabella in the long term. She has a lovely personality; and Isabella really really likes her already. I could not be more pleased.

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.
