Tutor Warrawee, NSW
I believe that a tutor should tailor their teaching to the student that they are teaching. This could involve motivating the student and getting them to enjoy the subject by for example giving them incentives to complete work by rewarding them with food or snacks. Communication is also highly important. A good tutor would discuss the student's…

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…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is ensure the student knows we are on their side and only want them to improve. To create a comfortable places where all questions, marks, practise papers and ideas can be discussed without judgement. To be a person where they can just focus on improvement and nothing else I think my greatest…

A tutor to a student is like a mother to their child; rather than being a human textbook, tutors have important roles in listening to the student's needs and wellbeing. Whilst grades are important, tutors guide students on how to effectively overcome challenges both academically and for problems in life. As a tutor, I tailor my teaching to the…

A tutor plays a pivotal role in a student's development, in both academic growth and personal resilience. As a peer support and SRC member, I can understand that school can be a challenging time due to academic pressures and personal changes. Thus, it is essential for a tutor to be a source of support and provide guidance when navigating these…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is recognise what, precisely, the student is struggling with and to tailor explanations of concepts in ways that the student will respond to. For example, a major conceptual hurdle for high school students can be learning about logarithms for the first time. Often the root of confusion…

In addition to improving the student's understanding of a particular subject area, the real value comes from: (1) learning *how* to learn; in other words, getting to understand the many resources available (web and paper), attacking the problem, and getting the answer independently. This is empowering for the student, and essential for further…

1) listen to the student and the parent. students should be the ones doing the most talking and asking questions. Tutors job is to listen to the student and give them the help they need 2) help the student gain confidence in maths but also in study in general. Often if a student improves in one area it also carries over to other subjects. The…

One of the important things a math tutor can do for students is constantly testing them with the knowledge they have already absorbed in the past. Questions need to be changed, but concepts need to be practiced repetitively. The other important thing tutor can do to help students is organizing notes. Math contains a sphere of knowledge (formula/…

I believe the role of the tutor is the prepare the student for assessments and future content, as having a solid base is very important, specifically in maths where future content is built upon what is previously taught. For students to feel more comfortable stepping into an exam comes from familiarising them with what to expect and how to…

This will allow the student to apply their knowledge to unseen question. -Be a friendly person that they can talk to by getting to know 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.
