A tutor should provide a safe space for the student, both academically and mentally. It is important that a tutor empathizes with the students and provide them vivid and interesting perspectives about the subjects which goes beyond school learning. Furthermore, it is needed that the tutor - student relationship be a team work, where the tutor is…

Psychology Tutor Warrawee, NSW
Tutors help foreground the development of confidence in what lies within the mind of students that enhances their ability to express thoughts and opinion essential for adult life. A tutor also becomes a trustee of the student, whom insecurities are revealed, and therefore solutions can be found based on the bond created between the two. The…

Psychology Tutor Macquarie Park, NSW
Personal relationships are foundational to student success -- the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor creates trust and respect, essential ingredients for students to learn well. I am an expert in Math and Programming and their academic content -- I know the subject's concepts, ideas and problems inside out. I…

Psychology Tutor Thornleigh, NSW
I believe the most important things in which a tutor can do for a student is to not only pass on their knowledge but to act as a positive influence for them to like the subject more or take more interest in studying particular subjects (so that they enjoy learning). I believe that my strengths as a tutor are that I genuinely enjoy teaching…

Psychology Tutor West Pennant Hills, NSW
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…

Show them that mistakes are a part of success (since some students see mistakes eg on test papers as a sign of hopelessness). Also, understanding the student's need and situation, this will give a better teacher-student interaction. Breaking down the concepts, ie giving examples that provide an explanation for the content Interpersonal and…

Psychology Tutor Castle Hill, NSW
From my experience as a tutor, I believe a tutor should be able to connect with a student and ensure that the student trusts them enough to ask any question. A tutor should be open to student input and feedback, to make sure they're getting the maximum benefit from tutoring. Moreover, in my opinion, it is essential that a tutor uses sophisticated…

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.
