I believe that the most important thing will be for the tutor…

I think most importantly, a tutor must create a good learning environment for their students. We've been through high school aswell and we've seen the ups and downs. So the best thing a tutor can do is be patient and supportive and build their confidence. Even if they get a question wrong or don't understand something, we should be patient and…

If it's a correct match of a student and a teacher, then definitely a tutor can change the overall personality of his student and in turn learn from him as well.

Help them to understand that they can learn. That they understand that teaching is one aspect of the education process and the other is learning.

Inside PaddingtonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Michael reviewed geometric reasoning and proofs, including congruency reasoning, then tackled challenging exam-style questions on factorisation and expanding.

Year 10 Maddison worked through trigonometry problems involving right-angled triangles and bearings, then revised theoretical versus experimental probability and relative frequency.

Meanwhile, Year 11 Sarah focused on indices and laws of exponents before moving on to logarithms and exponential equations in preparation for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student repeatedly avoided writing out working in geometry, relying on mental calculation and causing missed steps—he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors.

For a Year 11 exam, another student struggled with time management and stopped short of fully simplifying answers when under pressure.

In Year 7 maths, one student left several division problems blank due to low confidence rather than lack of skill; reluctance to attempt questions was common unless total understanding was felt.

These habits led to unfinished tests or repeated mistakes that could have been caught with clearer layout and step-by-step checking.

Recent Achievements

A Paddington tutor noticed Ruby, a high school student, is now tackling simultaneous equations independently—she confidently uses substitution and addition methods to find unknowns, whereas earlier she'd often hesitate or wait for hints.

In another recent session, Michael has started explaining his reasoning out loud when working through tricky maths proofs; previously he'd skip steps in his working, but now details every stage which is leading to fewer mistakes on assessments.

Meanwhile, Henry (Year 6) has begun reading worded problems aloud himself before starting calculations—this new habit means he's catching key information he used to miss.

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