A tutor can make use of the two kinds of experience he/she has. Firstly as a current/former student himself, he can impart a deeper and thorough understanding of the subject keeping in mind the future academic curriculum and its practical applications. Secondly his experience as a tutor means a patient engagement with his student, where in the…

I think the most important thing for a tutor is to understand what the student needs and work through those blocks with positive reinforcement. Some students have a hard time understanding concepts while others have no faith in themselves and struggle to retain information. I believe that the best thing a tutor can do for a student is to figure…

Personally, I recognize that there are many responsibilities that a diligent tutor must fulfill, these include: - patience (no matter how many times a student doesn't understand a concept, a tutor should be patient and keep trying) - A supportive environment (students shouldn't feel judged and should have the confidence to openly ask…

It is very important that a tutor understands the strengths and weakness of a student and approach them accordingly.

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is ensure the student understands the content, and doesn't just get the marks if they don't understand the content properly. They also need to be someone who the student can feel comfortable talking to and asking questions, regardless of how 'silly' the question may seem. Good communication…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to become their friend. Children are sometimes uncomfortable with teachers and are unable to fully explain where they struggle. However, if we are able to get them to open up we would be able to better assist them in improving their grades. A student who is comfortable in the…

Obviously, a tutor is there to help students with particular topics however, I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to teach a student how to tackle any difficult topics on their own.

Inside OakhurstTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 Omar focused on revising non-linear equations with targeted worksheet practice and began planning his English discursive essay on Pleasantville by analysing key film scenes.

Year 9 students tackled algebraic techniques such as expanding and simplifying expressions, as well as solving equations using addition and subtraction.

Meanwhile, Year 6 covered perimeter and area of composite shapes, applying area formulas to multi-step geometry problems for greater confidence.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 mathematics, messy book work and skipped working out were common—one tutor observed, "he needs to write neater and show working out," especially during algebra tasks.

A Year 10 student's focus drifted frequently; sessions on geometry saw time lost to doodling or unrelated conversation rather than practicing formulas.

In upper primary, an otherwise strong performer sometimes misplaced worksheets or left papers disorganized after fraction lessons, as noted: "start organising her book work properly either hard copy or soft copy."

These habits often led to confusion when revisiting topics or checking for mistakes in later sessions.

Recent Achievements

During an Oakhurst tutoring session, a high school student began asking questions when confused, instead of skipping problems as he used to. This new habit helped him tackle area and statistics tasks with more independence.

Another high schooler who often relied on a calculator for basic operations was able to complete multiplication and addition in his head, showing clear growth in mental maths skills.

In primary, Scarlett showed determination by attempting tricky four-digit problems on her own before checking her answers, demonstrating a real shift toward self-correction.

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 Mt Druitt Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Richard Johnson Anglican College.
