A tutor is the one and only one who can make a subject interesting to students, and try to bring out the best from them. And a tutor can also add moral values through studies which in general can add value to a student's life. I try to make people understand subjects relating to real life aspects so as to make even abstract things easy, And I also…

As a tutor i will try to improvise the personality of the child and try to infuse him with a Never give up attitude. A tutor should always teach according to the strengths of the child and work on minimizing his weakness. Tutors should always be transparent and ready to help the child to learn. I can understand the children mentality and this…

Biology Tutor Figtree, NSW
A tutor should be fair and promote independent thinking rather than just giving answers. Encouraging students to analyze problems, develop strategies, and build logical reasoning skills is essential. Another key role is boosting confidence—many students struggle not due to a lack of ability, but self-doubt. By providing structured learning,…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to identify the weakness of the student so that they can work together to sort things. Another important task is to simplify the materials so that each and every student can learn them in their own pace. The tutor must provide a positive attitude to the students since they improve through their mistakes.…

The most important things a tutor can do are ignite curiosity, build confidence, and create a safe space to grow. It’s not just about teaching contents, it’s about showing students they’re capable of more than they think.

Local Reviews

Sophie is so patient with my daughter and very encouraging when she "gets" it. My daughter tells me she is feeling much more confident with maths now and even in the classroom. Maths used to bring my daughter to tears, but now she feels she can understand more. Thank you, Sophie, you are fabulous.

Inside Mount St ThomasTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Isla worked on simplifying fractions and converting numbers to percentages, as well as applying order of operations.

For Year 10, Tom focused on algebraic expressions and survey questions, practicing skills such as simplifying fractions and working with coordinates.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student tackled core calculus ideas by reviewing derivatives and integration formulas, ensuring understanding through chapter-based practice.

Recent Challenges

In Year 3, one student's spelling errors and incomplete PEEL paragraphs in English pointed to a need for clearer written structure—"I found some spelling mistakes in Keoki's books," the tutor noted.

Another Year 3 student struggled to keep focus during multiplication tasks, with distractions leading to missed steps as the lesson progressed.

In senior Mathematics (Years 10–12), several students avoided independent review after sessions, often leaving solved questions unpracticed before exams. "He needs to practice on his own the same questions to prepare himself for exam," was a recurring observation; this led to weaker recall when faced with similar problems under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

In Mount St Thomas, Zane, a high school student, recently showed more initiative by working through chapter problems at home before sessions and arriving with specific questions—something he hadn't done previously.

In another session, Evie (Year 8) moved from making small mistakes when translating worded statements into algebra to completing them accurately and efficiently on her own.

Meanwhile, Natalia in Year 4 shifted from hesitating over her times tables to breaking down the multiplication chart independently during lessons and checking her answers 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 Eagle Vale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount St Thomas Public School.
