The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to try make difficult content more engaging and easier to grapple with. As I mentioned before, students having difficulty with a topic will be less engaged and less willing to put in the work. That's why it's the tutor's responsibility to try make the content more appealing or reframe it in…

I feel the most important things a tutor can do is to help a student learn how to learn so that they can be more self-reliant with their study in the future. Helping students to really engage with the subject and to understand the key concepts so that they can teach someone else is what I hope to achieve. Ability to listen to the student and…

Be patient with them. All students are different but also everyone has the capacity to learn. It is up to the tutor to understand their students (how they think, their learning styles etc) and tailor their approach to meet their needs. Prioritizing the student's understanding as well I know how to work with different types of people from different…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient and make sure to keep the student motivated while being honest with him/her. A tutor should also be able to adapt to a student's personality and should have an array of teaching method for the different learning styles. Thanks to the way I have been taught by my parents as well…

I feel the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to create an environment in which the student can feel safe to question what is being discussed and openly communicate lack of understanding and vulnerability. In my opinion, the worst thing a mentor can do is to appear unapproachable. When I was in this position, my mentor was very…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them feel capable and supported.

By identifying these gaps, setting achievable goals, and providing consistent encouragement through the learning process, a tutor…

I think a common misconception about a tutor's job is that their whole purpose is to get their tutee an A+. While this is obviously a wonderful side-effect of tutoring, the most important thing a tutor can do is to develop and improve a student's ability to problem-solve, learn, and work effectively to complete their academic goals. The difference…

Help the student build confidence. I find many students have the knowledge to solve problems but lack the confidence in themselves.

In my experience, there are two really important things a tutor can provide for a student. A tutor's primary responsibility to their student is to strengthen their knowledge of a subject, diving deeper into topics they may have already studied or simply reinforcing concepts they are struggling with. While this is the predominant purpose of a…

A tutor should know the students' questions and worries and find ways to deal with rather than teaching them general knowledge. In this way, students can improve their grades and know how to perform. Another important thing is that students need to be nurtured with a good habit in learning, which is essential for their future studies. I am majored…

Harrison is extremely well mannered and diligent. He will often give his own time to ensure that Kate understands before he leaves. He is patient, calm and has lots of great strategies to simplify and explain maths and my daughters maths marks have improved. Thank you so much Harrison.

Inside PaddingtonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Alex worked through final exam revision, tackling two worksheets with a focus on resolving specific questions that had caused confusion in class.

For Year 10, Olivia spent the lesson practising algebraic operations involving fractions and completing school homework problems to reinforce her understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Priya concentrated on calculus topics such as rates of change and differentiation using first principles and the power rule, applying these methods to textbook exercises.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Mathematics, a student hesitated to show full working when tackling trigonometric identities—she tried to do steps mentally, but small sign errors crept in, noted the tutor.

For a Year 4 learner, forgetting to bring math books from school meant key division homework was incomplete and revision suffered.

In Year 9, one student's layout in problem-solving tasks made their reasoning hard to follow; answers were present, but skipped lines caused confusion when reviewing mistakes.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student lost track of older concepts while focusing only on new material, leading to gaps during mixed-topic tests.

Recent Achievements

One Paddington tutor noticed a Year 9 student who used to quietly guess on difficult algebra questions now speaking up when stuck and asking for hints, which helped her finish the worksheet with only two errors.

A senior student who previously mixed up integration rules was able to clearly explain which formula fit each problem, working through a full set of calculus questions without needing reminders.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who hesitated to start homework independently has begun tackling spelling lists right away, even double-checking tricky words before the session ended.

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 Brisbane Square Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Petrie Terrace State School.
