Trent
Tutor Monterey, NSW
I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student is listening to the student in what areas they struggle in, as well as giving a structured lesson and being direct and concise when communicating points across. This then has an effect on the student, engaging them and the tutor to be more pro-active leading to a more efficient…

Tutor Monterey, NSW
Honestly, the most important things a tutor can do for a student is encouragement and facilitate involvement. Encouraging students to answer questions, not be afraid to get things wrong, ask questions of their own, be involved in interactive activities/questions that help solidify key concepts is fundamental in learning. It's one thing to read…

A tutor should identify the students' areas of weakness and focus on helping the students gain knowledge in these areas rather than teaching the student what they already know.

Be a friend. This is how I was taught by my tutors and this is how I taught as well. If there is a deeper bond than that of just a student and teacher, the student really shines.

Different students have different learning techniques, in that sense I think a teacher should describe a topic multiple times along with different ways to solve the same problem.

Inside MontereyTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 4 student Alex worked on converting fractions to decimals and practiced long division alongside percentage problems, using visual aids for tricky steps.
In Year 10, Jeyda reviewed HSC exam questions focusing on simultaneous equations and tackled worded problems from past papers to build confidence.
Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sarah concentrated on non-right-angled trigonometry and answered multiple-choice questions from recent HSC trial exams to sharpen her skills under timed conditions.
Recent Challenges
A Year 12 student found lengthy exam-style maths questions overwhelming, often losing track of their approach midway—"she could explain the correct method aloud but didn't apply it on paper."
In Year 11 biology, one learner hesitated to provide detailed explanations or examples, limiting depth in written responses.
For a Year 5 student, frustration surfaced quickly when unsure about answers, leading to reluctance in attempting work.
A Year 8 student consistently struggled to extract equations from worded algebra problems and rarely checked working despite prompting; mistakes lingered until addressed directly together during the session.
Recent Achievements
A Monterey tutor recently saw a big shift with Jeyda, a high school student who used to get stuck on worded maths problems—she now works through tricky questions without losing focus, carefully breaking down information instead of freezing up.
Another older student completed an entire trial exam ahead of time for the first time, targeting big-mark questions and reviewing her own mistakes as she went.
Meanwhile, in Year 4, Olivia started asking for help only when really needed and began using her calculator independently after struggling to connect classroom theory with practical problem-solving.
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 Brighton-Le-Sands Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ramsgate Public School.
