Dennise Nicole
Tutor Tallawong, NSW
I think the most important thing a tutor can do is not pressure students and understand that everyone learns differently. Not all students will get something right away, and what matters is being patient and staying with them through the process until they understand. I believe it is about making them feel supported instead of rushed, so they can…

It is most important that a tutor doesn't give up on their students. This means not only continuing teaching the student but also means that the tutor should always believe a student can improve with their guidance. In addition, it is essential for a tutor to be able to learn the student's strengths and weaknesses and their way of thinking, so the…

Adil
Tutor Tallawong, NSW
Being down to earth and always there for your students - it's really easy to lose motivation or confidence in maths, and I believe that students who KNOW they're capable are far more willing to embrace new concepts and put in effort to understanding it. Explaining new concepts and skills, as well as consistently revising those skills so it isn't…

Iqra
Tutor Kellyville Ridge, NSW
I think that a very important aspect of tutoring is the individual attention that it provides the student with, which would not always be possible in a school setting. As tutors work closely with the student, they are also aware of the student's thinking style and capacities, and can therefore tailor their own teaching style.
Furthermore, most…

Inside NelsonTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 12 student Daniel worked through advanced vector problems in complex numbers and practiced proofs involving algebraic inequalities for Mathematics Extension 2.
Year 11 student Jessica focused on interpreting and applying vectors in three-dimensional space, as well as recapping fundamental number proof techniques.
Meanwhile, Year 6 student Olivia reviewed solving linear equations and multiplying fractions together, alongside an introduction to taxation concepts in financial maths, with plenty of real-life examples woven into her lesson.
Recent Challenges
Several high school students faced challenges with revision habits and organization.
One Year 12 student, for example, "struggled to start exam-style questions" in Mathematics Extension 1, which left them stalled on harder proofs and parametrics because foundational steps were unclear.
In Business Studies (Year 11–12), notes described a tendency to postpone regular review—resulting in bottlenecks and extra stress before trials: "It is highly recommended that the student maintains a regular schedule of revision…to prevent bottlenecking due to work overload closer to trials."
When handwritten working was skipped or not shown in algebra (Years 7–9), calculation errors went unnoticed until marked work was returned.
Missed lessons or late arrivals further interrupted learning momentum; one session simply noted, "He didn't turn up for the lesson," which meant missed opportunities for feedback just as exams approached.
Recent Achievements
A tutor in Nelson noticed one Year 9 student, who used to rush through maths problems and miss errors, now routinely rechecks her work and self-corrects mistakes during sessions.
A high school student preparing for HSC business studies began taking more initiative with practice questions—choosing to attempt extra problems independently and showing a stronger grasp of how financial concepts connect across topics.
Another senior student, previously hesitant to contribute in lessons, recently started asking thoughtful questions about structuring HSC responses and even explained a complex legal concept back to the tutor 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 Vinegar Hill Memorial Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Box Hill Public School.
