I think the most important thing a tutor can do is learnt how each individual student learns and be able to deliver information in a way they can understand. I believe my main strength as a tutor is that I am able to reexplain a topic in a multitude of ways depending on how a student is able to process…

The tutor can change the life of a student. A tutor is like a mentor for any student. Teacher teach concepts but the tutor makes sure that the student understands how to apply that concept. I had a great tutor during my primary school who helped me to understand what is the purpose of my life and what is the goal of my life. I want to set a great…

One of the most important things for me would be the tutor's ability to listen and understand a student's query patiently, as it influences how the same content can be tailored differently for a better understanding of the individual. Also, the ability to adequately motivate a topic helps students develop a higher interest and enjoy what they…

A tutor should strive in revelaling different perspectives in a world they can intuitively grasp. This engages the student in learning and fuels their passion in learning and adaptation in cascading for the next level. With a year teaching programming I excel in deconstructing a concept into a more tangible world. Ranging from live demonstrations…

I believe the most important things that a tutor can do it not only explain how to answer a problem, but also why it is done in this way. They break down the entire learning process into small steps that can be honed and practiced, leading to more achievable improvement. An amazing tutor doesn't just focus on the academic results, but also on…

I think the most important thing is not only being decent at explaining and individually creating a good tutoring plan for the student but also to be empathetic. Without empathy, the student will not feel like the tutor understands their struggles and is truly trying to help them. Apart from showing them that understanding and kindly communicating…

Being down to earth and always there for your students - it's really easy to lose motivation or confidence in maths, and I believe that students who KNOW they're capable are far more willing to embrace new concepts and put in effort to understanding it. Explaining new concepts and skills, as well as consistently revising those skills so it isn't…

In my perspective mathematics is all about practice, understanding concepts and master them. Tutor's job is to make students understand the concepts but at the same time, they should not spoon feed them by constraining them to certain important questions only! Student should be able to do all types of questions and apply the concepts in daily life…

I think the most important things a tutor can do is to make the content understandable rather than just helping to memorise it. But also to normalise mistakes and to assert the importance of educated guessing. Any student can learn faster by giving something a go rather than waiting until they are certain. I believe I can explain and break down…

The most important thing a tutor can do is create an environment in which the student feels comfortable asking questions and encouraging them to work hard and commit to learning.

Inside O'ConnorTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Evie practised times tables she found challenging and completed class worksheets on fractions, perimeters, and multiplication.

Year 8 student Lara focused on converting between percentages, decimals, and fractions, as well as tackling algebraic equations from her recent assignments.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Owen worked through textbook problems involving probability and index laws (including surds), ensuring a strong grasp of both foundational skills and more advanced topics.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, one student missed key marks on a maths exam due to "test/exam sitting skills," such as not allocating enough time per question. As a tutor noted, "he solved problems he'd already gotten wrong in the test, but timing cost him."

In Year 8 algebra, skipping written steps led to confusion with negatives and sign errors—this was especially clear when simplifying or rearranging equations.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner doubted her answers even when correct; hesitation meant she rarely shared her thinking aloud.

During a challenging worded problem in Year 4, pausing out of overwhelm caused her to lose track of strategy mid-solution.

Recent Achievements

One O'Connor tutor noticed a big shift with Lara in Year 10, who used to freeze on multi-step worded percentage problems but now works through them methodically and even scored 13 out of 14 on her exam.

Owen, just starting Year 11, previously struggled to link experimental results to mathematical analysis in physics; after some focused sessions, he's confidently deriving the data needed for his lab report without extra prompting.

Meanwhile, Mackenzie in Year 7 made a noticeable leap with index laws—despite never learning them before, she picked up each rule quickly and started solving questions independently by the end of the lesson.

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 Dickson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Turner School.
