I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is enrich their learning experience so they can understand the importance of education, and the essential nature of honing their critical thinking skills. Tutoring should be taught to not be simply for academic success, but success as a communicator and thinker. I think I am…

Set them on the right path. Helping them to understand concepts and develop skills (rather than just doing things for them) will mean that they can go on to use these skills themselves. This is very important for exam-taking. Communication. I ask for their input and check that they understand what I'm saying. I am patient and will explain a…

Hence, I believe that the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be there emotionally and help them grow as a person. Although…

A tutor\'s first duty must be to create a comfortable environment for the student to learn. This means serving as a friend, and as someone who is receptive and understanding to the needs of the student. It is through this that students will grow and be most efficient in their studies.

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to place their complete faith in them. A tutor needs to have a mutual trust with their student, in the completion of homework and revision tasks for example. Many students lack confidence or may come from a background where they don't believe they have a lot of support academically.…

Help them learn how to learn themselves - that is, teach them the skills to learn how to solve problems, and help them to build confidence in their own skills.

The most important things I can provided to the student are an approachable, enriching learning environment. An enriching learning environment is like a petri-dish full of nutrients.

Helping them to develop their own learning style, or styles, to perform in a variety of circumstances is one of the most critical things a tutor can impart on a student. Examinations and content will never be delivered in the exact same way, so providing students with the means to navigate the ambiguities of examination and focus purely on the…

A few of the important things a tutor can do for a student is to care, understand and support.

I think that it's extremely important to consider that not everybody has the same learning experiences as you, and just because something has worked for you or someone else, does not necessarily mean the same for every student. I think tutoring should be heavily "customisable", in the sense that tutors should be able to identify what works the…

Georgia is happy with Kelvin. She is very shy and so it is great that she feels comfortable with him.

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.
