I think it is most important for a tutor to make the learning experience enjoyable for a student, because in my experience even the worst subject with the most innane course material can be made much better with a tutor that you actually like, that likes the subject, and presents it clearly. I know I am good at interacting with my students,…

Chemistry Tutor North Turramurra, NSW
A tutor must first create a positive friendly relationship with the student. After this, the student will have trust in their tutor and will listen to the tutor's instructions. If a student is struggling, the student will tell them not to put their head down but rather try to make those questions easier for the student to solve them and therefore…

Try to help them gain a good, comprehensive understanding of concepts that they don't quite understand as at school, the teacher does not have time to individually help out every student.

Establishing meaningful relationships with students maximises their own academic output and the added social interaction increases the wellbeing and happiness of students. If I was given…

The most important things for a tutor is to be a source of support that they can reach out to, not only in the specific subject that they're tutoring, but also studying and school life in general.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is being able to help their students free of charge when they're not in class, whether that be through social media or even by text. A tutor should also have patience towards a student and teach towards a students strength to optimize their learning, while also targeting a students weakness's.…

In the short term, it is important to help the student develop an understanding of the ideas behind a topic, rather than just knowing the content. Over the long term, helping the student form an effective study method of their own as well as developing good study habits will be critical to their later success. Aside from my experience and…

Inside NormanhurstTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Emily revised trigonometry and bearings, then practiced applying graph algorithms to real-world network problems.

For Year 10, Ethan focused on algebraic factorisation and substitution skills, working through targeted homework exercises.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Olivia explored organic chemistry by learning the rules of nomenclature and identifying structural isomers using molecular diagrams.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student frequently left homework incomplete, saying "I didn't understand the questions," which meant lesson time was spent revisiting old material rather than building new skills.

In Year 7 algebra, confusion with variables led to missed steps when rearranging equations—one tutor observed, "she wrote 5–y instead of y–5."

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student often forgot times tables and hesitated with subtraction problems that involved borrowing; skipping written working increased small errors.

After missing homework or sessions, several students needed extra revision just to recall previously covered concepts—progress stalled while they regained lost ground.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Normanhurst recently saw some encouraging changes across different students.

One Year 10 student, who used to be at the bottom of his class, proudly reported he came 2nd in a recent test after working through word problems and algebra with much more independence than before.

In Year 12 Chemistry, another student started making her own mindmaps for Biology revision—something she hadn't tried previously—and now applies concepts confidently without much prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once needed frequent help finished her regular homework on her own this week.

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 Hornsby Shire Library & Information Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Normanhurst Public School.
