Science Tutor Annandale, NSW
Teach obviously! but i think if the tutor can make the lessons as fun as possible so that the student looks forward to them as something enjoyable rather than as purely work, the best results will occur. I am an excellent communicator and can teach via example quite effectively in almost any subject. I am easily able to match my communication…

A tutor needs to be able to make sessions engaging and enjoyable so their students will want to come back to each lesson. They need to also be able to be someone students can trust and feel comfortable with as they do spend a lot of time together. The hard work and determination I have to make sure my students can learn as much as possible means I…

I think that understanding why a student is struggling is the most important thing a tutor can do. A student may be struggling with the subject itself or may be struggling with a specific concept. Additionally there may be external factors creating conflicts for the student. Being able to listen and relate has helped me become a great teacher in…

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to inspire them and gives them a goal which they should work towards, as many students do poorly in exams simply because they lack a goal or something to work towards. If they have clear goals this makes achieving good results much easier. I am patient with students especially…

The most important things a tutor can do is to bring the best out of a student. Aside from assisting the problems students might have in schools, it is equally important for a tutor to act as a role model through showing great examples. On top of that, a tutor should also be empathetic in order to know the student's strengths and weaknesses so…

Inside North SydneyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Olivia focused on networks and diagrams as well as advanced trigonometry, revising concepts using assignment questions and targeted practice.

Year 10 student James worked through exponential and other non-linear graphing alongside financial mathematics revision, strengthening understanding with textbook exercises and real-life examples.

For Year 6, Emma tackled properties of quadrilaterals and triangles—including congruency tests—while also reviewing composite area questions and coordinate plane skills to prepare for her upcoming assessment.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student was hesitant to attempt problem-solving questions involving algebra, often deferring to decimals—her tutor noted she "seemed slightly hesitant" and avoided the unfamiliar, which limited growth in new techniques.

In Year 8, a student's written work on nets was sometimes unclear due to repeated shapes in different orientations; this made it hard for both teacher and student to spot errors efficiently.

A Year 11 lesson revealed revision time focused mostly on easier material, so weak areas like graphing and congruency proofs weren't reinforced before tests.

Missed opportunities for feedback also slowed progress in linear work (Year 10).

Recent Achievements

One North Sydney tutor noticed a real shift with a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to explain her thinking; now she's actively talking through each geometry problem, showing much more willingness to share how she arrives at answers.

Another high school student surprised himself by managing all the extension questions in a challenging revision session—he even asked for extra practice on areas he'd once avoided.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who used to skip writing out steps is now consistently setting out her working for every question, making it easier for her to spot and fix mistakes herself.

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 Stanton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like SHORE - Sydney Church of England Grammar School.
