For me the most important thing a tutor can do is to guide the student in such a way that at the end of it, the student is able to lead by himself in the direction he was originally intended to go. It is similar to the lines of giving a man a fish to teaching him to fish. The tutor has to ignite the spark of interest in the student so that the…

Besides helping them understand and learn a topic, the tutor should also help the student master the topic through mastery learning. Mastery learning is a way of designing units of work so that each set of tasks focuses on a particular learning objective and students must master a task to move onto the next one. The tutor should also help the…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is truly understand the person’s problems, challenges, and learning gaps. Everyone learns differently, and effective tutoring begins with listening carefully and identifying where they are genuinely struggling. A tutor should pause and address difficulties properly rather than rushing to simply…

Important things a tutor can do for a student can be as subtle as providing the basic habits of Learning and self progression for the student. Many younger students struggle with this and tutoring can only go so far for them. Enforcing self-learning and the confidence to learn sometimes can be more beneficial than the topics covered.

A tutor needs to be patient when tutoring a student especially in subjects like mathematics and physics since those subjects require the most assumed knowledge in high school than any other subject, students normally have trouble recollecting previous works. Therefore, it is important for a tutor to start from the very basic concepts, if the…

I consider the two most important things for a tutor to do are to first inspire confidence in the student and identify the area of difficulty as precisely as possible. Students are generally not equipped to identify the precise area of their difficulty as they don't have the knowledge to fully place it in the context of the subject. By…

Inside Norton SummitTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Alyssia reviewed titrations in chemistry, focusing on molar ratios and rearranging equations like n = m/M and C = n/V, as well as galvanic cells and balancing redox equations for her exam.

In Year 10, Sam worked on sketching linear graphs by finding x- and y-intercepts using the gradient-intercept method, then practised identifying equations of lines through various methods including calculating gradients.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Emily revised univariate statistics by exploring mean, median, mode, range, and began working with interquartile range using sample data sets.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student tended to rely on previous answer formats when solving algebra problems; as one tutor noted, "he looked back at old examples instead of working through new reasoning steps."

In a Year 12 chemistry session, the student was hesitant to attempt the written discussion portion of an assignment and avoided "thinking outside the box" when applying concepts in unfamiliar situations.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student was sometimes easily distracted during sessions, making it difficult to focus and set clear goals for what to cover next. This meant valuable lesson time was lost regaining focus or reviewing known methods.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Norton Summit noticed Alyssia, a senior student, moved from needing guidance on titration equations to independently solving even complex questions with mixed molar ratios by the end of her session.

Alessandro, in Year 10, showed a real shift—he now arrives knowing exactly which maths concepts he's struggling with and directs the session by asking focused questions rather than waiting passively.

Meanwhile, Lucy in Year 6 used to hesitate when facing new statistics topics but recently began tackling practice problems on her own once shown the method, showing more initiative with each session.

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 Campbelltown Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Norton Summit Primary School.
