The most important thing a tutor can teach a student is that learning can be fun. Having an inquisitive nature and the desire to pursue lifelong learning a trait I possess and something I would like to teach. Time management, organisational skills and analytical thinking are other important things I teach my students. A tutor can also be another…

In my perspective the best thing the tutor can do for the student is to understand the child completely, make a good bond with them and help them to learn infinite things. My strengths as a teacher are I understand the child by the face expressions, my teaching concept is pretty much strong and before teaching any child I make sure to plan the…

Science Tutor Kellyville Ridge, NSW
I have had many experiences with teachers and tutors during my HSC years and most of them would end up explaining the questions. This was an issue for me as I might end up understanding that questions but I wouldn't be able to understand other questions as I didn't understand the concept. Therefore, the most important thing a tutor can do is help…

Focus on his weaknesses and try to overcome them. I think it is really essential to maintain a genuine environment under which students an freely ask about their queries. So, most importantly, a tutor should build a genuine atmosphere of learning. I can easily be understood and my ways to explain things are great. In a teaching environment, it is…

Science Tutor Jordan Springs, NSW
Most importantly a tutor should understand the goals and needs of each student individually - what they find difficult and why they struggle with certain concepts. Subsequently, tutors should teach students the concepts and ensure they understand how to solve problems, this provides lifelong problem solving skills rather than memorised methods to…

Teaching the content required within a particular subject is only the start of what a tutor can do for their student, but teaching them how to apply everything they have learned to not only the subject at hand but how they are tested within that subject. Since going through the HSC I have learned that some subjects teach content in a very…

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.
