The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teach them how to approach learning in a way that is self sufficient. Understanding content is important for the time, but ultimately, a tutor should leave the student with the skills to know how to understand content when the tutor is no longer there. I am patient, persistent and…

Tutor Padstow Heights, NSW
In my personal opinion, I believe a game-changer for students is to have a tutor who helps build their confidence. Rather than only imparting knowledge, a tutor should foster a learning atmosphere that makes students comfortable to ask questions, make mistakes and even question the knowledge of the tutor. My strengths as a tutor include the…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to ask them for constant feedback/questions. Some students are hesitant to ask questions when they are confused, which can easily lead to them not understanding content. Hence, it is important as a tutor to actively make sure that your student actually understands what you are teaching. As a…

I had a tutor in high school for my VCE studies. I learned that a tutor must be a supportive figure that guides their student with compassion and patience. The demeanor of my tutor relived the stress of studying and gave me the confidence to attempt difficult problems that I would have given up on. Students at any year level will often feel…

A tutor has to be understanding and respectful to the student that they are teaching, they need to realise that these individuals don't have the same level of knowledge as them at the time, so they need time to learn and understand difficult concepts and that require more explanation. The key is to build a strong healthy and friendly relationship…

I think it’s extremely important for the student to like and have confidence in what they are doing and stay curious for what they are about to learn. That’s why I think a tutor’s support can provide some…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are listening carefully, being patient and identifying that not all students are the same. A strategy that may work wonders for one student could not be useful for another student. Being able to employ different strategies to different students is a key aspect of being a great tutor. My…

Similarly, every tutor needs to be prepared before they enter in classroom to teach because it will help tutors to express their views in such a way that students can learn and understand easily.

The most important thing is to support their learning. For example, when I ask a student to do a question and they are struggling, I wouldn't give them the steps but remind them of what to do and possibly where to start. It is important for student's to be able to develop problem solving skills and be independent with their learning. Being patient…

Once, I heard a wise thing on the internet, "You should demand more from yourself, not from anyone else, or anything." Ever since, I find myself sticking to this thing to push those I am tutoring. Also, tutoring facilitates individualized attention, through which we as a tutor can provide more guidance, and support to get most out of the…

Local Reviews

Communication is great between the company and myself. My only comment is that I don't take enough time to evaluate what is sent to me which of course in my problem. Nathan, the tutor we have for our grandson is fantastic, he has helped him gain a much better understanding of his maths and already his exam results has demonstrated an improvement. Dylan is working towards achieving a high result in his HSC and his year eleven results are looking good.

Inside Padstow HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student James focused on revising algebra and the Pythagoras theorem, reinforcing problem-solving through targeted practice.

For Year 12, Nahyan worked on calculus questions from Sydney Grammar's 2020 Trials paper and reviewed areas of difficulty from her recent exam.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sophia tackled probability concepts with and without replacement, using step-by-step examples to clarify differences between each scenario.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student in Physics and Maths was observed not consistently recalling key formulae or algebraic identities from memory, making it harder to tackle exam-style questions under time pressure—"he needs to commit a couple of important formulae/identities to memory."

In senior years, another student switched from challenging trigonometry problems to easier practice, missing exposure to trickier applications.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner left some working unrecorded in BODMAS problems; when errors occurred, there was no written trail to review. This led to repeated corrections during sessions rather than smooth progress into new material.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Padstow Heights recently noticed a big shift with Jacob (Year 12), who previously hesitated on tough calculus but now works through challenging integration and differentiation problems almost independently, even tackling past exam questions without freezing up.

In Year 11, Nahyan started pausing to check her own mistakes rather than waiting for hints—she completed a whole set of trig and integration questions solo and quickly corrected any errors herself.

Meanwhile, one younger student who used to struggle with times tables is now recalling them accurately during lessons, moving on to worded multiplication problems without stopping to count.

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