The most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, provide clear and personalized explanations, and foster a supportive learning environment. A tutor should help students develop problem-solving skills, encourage them to ask questions, and guide them to become independent learners who can approach challenges with…

I think that students generally need a lot of support, and that a tutor should be able to provide an avenue through which a student is able to feel comfortable, supported and encouraged. I think that I’m good at connecting with students and building a relationship. I am a very enthusiastic person and I believe that lends itself to creating an…

It is essential that the student feels comfortable learning, and as a tutor I think it is our job to achieve this. Not only should the student feel relaxed while in class, they should start to gain interest in what they are learning. I think at least a tutor can do on the practical aspect is to help the student achieve their goals, lead them and…

Finding gaps in a students knowledge and helping to fill them, facilitating a student to learn at their own pace and in their own way, and ensuring that the student can handle problems without my help once they've learned the concept.

I think there are a lot of qualities that go into being a good tutor. Some of the most essential ingredients are to be compassionate and build rapport . A good tutor should take the time to connect meaningfully with the student and their families. They will be caring and compassionate, but also professional. Having a good rapport with the student…

The best thing that a tutor can do for a student is not to regurgitate information - that can be found by reading a book, or browsing the internet; but to inspire. I believe that a perspective can be most powerfully shared by someone who has seen and understood, who can empathize with the struggles that are necessary to get to seeing the solution…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them understand the course content- so they can pass assessment- and also to help them understand other aspects of the subject they need or want to understand, either for the sake of curiosity or because they have some use for it. It is best if this understanding is of a deep…

I believe a tutor can make all the difference to a student struggling with their studies. School teaching can often be mechanical and impersonal; an environment where some students find it difficult to learn. I know first hand that teaching in smaller groups or one-on-one works is much more effective at learning hard to grasp concepts. The impact…

The tutor's first job is converting hard 'textbook language' to easy and illustrative concepts. Next is polishing the student's skills with extensive exercises while making sure he has time for other hobbies. It helps if the tutor is aware of things such as fun interactive quizzes or videos that helps makes concepts seem simpler while also keeping…

Hiba, Monterey

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.
