I feel tutors better excel at this compared to teachers who's depth and exploration of a topic can be shallow due to the rigorous nature of the syllabus. My strengths would be gentle…

Explain. If a tutor can explain a concept in a way a student can understand and then is able to remember it and be able to apply it, the tutor has succeeded in his role.

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.
