One of the most important things I've learned while being a student within a tutoring institute is to carry out my learning indepedently. This is most prominent when studying in university when tutors are scarce and its up to you to manage your time. Learning is also really important even in the industry, particularly in software when the world is…

The most important thing a tutor can do is be able to listen and support the student. Learning is easy when the environment is positive and calm.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be absolutely certain that his student really understand the topic which they explained and have no confusions or doubts in their mind.

I believe the most important role of a tutor is to give the student a chance to learn according to their own skills. Whilst school classes are integral, often students may get lost or left behind as the curriculum advances. Without the individual attention of a tutor they may have lingering gaps in their education and understanding that go…

This gave them confidence in the subject and helped them achieve the highest grades in their academic career. It also provided them with an optimism to life, since if by doing well in school, they could see…

I think what is most important for a tutor to do for a student is to be flexible. They need to be able to problem solve on the spot, helping their learner to understand concepts in different ways to adapt to their learning style. This flexibility needs to be across all aspects of the tutoring experience including being flexible to the learners…

A tutor needs to be apt at recognising where a student is at and how they learn, and able to accomodate for a students needs accordingly. They also need to be supportive and encouraging, providing constructive criticism where needed whilst also recognising the students progression and achievements. My biggest strength is my patience and empathy,…

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…

I believe taking time out to understand and know where the student needs help or is struggling is the most important factor. By finding out the parts that they may lack and need improvement is what allows a tutor to focus on teaching the student in a more individualised and specific to the student.

Gabriel was extremely helpful as a tutor and was very keen on building skills and encouraging improvement with my brother. He was always actively engaged with Soobaan and I would keep him in mind for tutoring in future.

Inside PenrithTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Daniel worked through calculus differentiation, focusing on applying the chain rule and product rule to a range of function types.

For Year 10, Jessica practised solving simultaneous equations and explored how bearings relate to trigonometry using real-world navigation examples.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Liam reviewed patterns and sequences within selective school exam practice papers, identifying number rules and extending simple patterns.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled with homework completion in calculus, leading to gaps when applying differentiation rules and missing out on valuable feedback—"Homework was uncompleted, and should be paid more attention to within the near future."

In Year 12 Chemistry, one student's tendency to get hung up on mistakes visibly shook her confidence during balancing equations; as a tutor observed, "she gets hung up on mistakes, which greatly affects her confidence if she makes a mistake."

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner repeatedly misread multi-step probability questions by skimming for keywords instead of highlighting details. This habit led to repeated small errors and wasted exam time hunting for corrections.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Penrith noticed Samantha, a Year 12 chemistry student, now confidently tackles long response questions by breaking them down herself and applying her titration knowledge—something she hesitated with previously.

Max, in Year 10, recently started using opposite operations to solve algebraic expressions and expanded brackets independently, showing much more initiative during problem-solving than before.

Meanwhile, Raessah (Year 3) surprised her tutor by planning out her extended writing pieces and skimming texts for main ideas on her own instead of waiting for guidance; she also used physical money to work out change without prompting.

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 Penrith City Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Nicholas of Myra Primary School.
