They can act as a guide, a friend and someone to ask any sort of question to. In a young student's life, a great tutor can be a role model to help establish good habits and values. I am methodical, and believe that what you get out of school, and life in general, is how much work you put into what you do. I ensure to keep a student busy with…

I think the most important things are building the student’s confidence, and making them understand concepts rather than memorize stuff which can help them develop skills they can use in the long run. I’m patient and good at breaking down complex topics into clear, step-by-step explanations. My background in mathematics and data science gives…

A tutor should not only help students understand the subject matter but also build their confidence and independent learning skills. It’s important to listen carefully, identify where they’re struggling, and provide guidance that helps them think critically and solve problems on their own. Ultimately, a tutor’s role is to empower students to…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to ensure that the student is comfortable with the concepts they learn, answer their questions and help the student understand their studies.

For me an initiative learning is most important. Tutor can give room to the student for intuition and develop an effective teaching pattern based on the view the student have. In my opinion this is effective because student can engage themselves in more interesting manner. My strength would be, I make sure that the student understand the topic in…

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do is understand the needs of each student and adapt their teaching style in order to maximise the benefits that the student can get from tutoring. I've had my fair share of tutors growing up and the best tutors I've had weren't necessarily the most intelligent. They were empathetic individuals…

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.
