Teach them how to study. I feel that too many students think the only way to study is to read the text book or talk to the teacher. Although these are valid ways I feel that most students don't realise there are other ways to study. I personal prefer to watch videos explaining the subject, draw pictures and diagrams, and then make flash cards.…

Most importantly a tutor should understand the goals and needs of each student individually - what they find difficult and why they struggle with certain concepts. Subsequently, tutors should teach students the concepts and ensure they understand how to solve problems, this provides lifelong problem solving skills rather than memorised methods to…

I believe that while all tutors can teach a list of prescribed content, the best kind of tutor is able to help students fully understand their content, and inspire them to work hard and perform to the best of their abilities. Therefore, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to ensure that they reach their full potential. I think…

The most important thing in tutoring is patience...lots of patience. It's often the case that repeating a concept - however many times, and sometimes in different ways - helps the student really come to grips with it. I think the mark of a good teacher is how much repetition they can tolerate in the course of their instruction. My main strength is…

Help them gain interest in what they're trying to study/learn. The problem with kids not wanting to learn isn't because the subject is hard, usually it's because they have no interest in the subject whatsoever. There's always a way to show someone the appeal of every single subject. It can be hard but it's very possible and many teachers and…

Inside Mount RiverviewTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Daniel worked on interpreting and creating stem-and-leaf plots, then practiced identifying the mean, median, and mode using small data sets.

In Year 8, Alexia focused on simplifying algebraic expressions by both multiplying and dividing terms as well as tackling worded problems involving ratios with fractions and decimals.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Mark revised financial maths by calculating taxable income and GST through worksheet practice to prepare for his upcoming assessment.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, revision outside of lessons was often missed—this led to concepts like tax calculations and measurement bounds being forgotten by the next session.

As one tutor observed, "she still needs to work on calculating taxable income and Medicare levy to become more confident."

In Year 8, skipping regular review meant difficulty recalling methods for algebraic expressions; errors crept in when sign conventions weren't double-checked.

A Year 3 student's messy letter formation made it hard to distinguish between 'j' and 'i', causing hesitation during reading tasks.

These habits left students retracing old ground instead of moving forward with new material.

Recent Achievements

A Mount Riverview tutor noticed a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask for clarification now speaks up when stuck, especially during algebra lessons—she recently tackled dividing equations after expressing her confusion and then completed the task on her own.

In Year 10, another student moved from making errors in percentage calculations to accurately converting fractions and decimals into percentages using different strategies without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger primary learner has shifted from guessing words when reading aloud to pausing and sounding out unfamiliar ones, showing patience where he used to rush through.

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 Blaxland Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Riverview Public School.
