Have things prepared, remember where I left off with a student, being patient and altering my technique according to their style of learning and progress. Obviously building a rapport with the student and making them feel secure in their learning. I have been in the students shoes. I understand what it is like to need a tutor as I hired one when I…

I think that understanding why a student is struggling is the most important thing a tutor can do. A student may be struggling with the subject itself or may be struggling with a specific concept. Additionally there may be external factors creating conflicts for the student. Being able to listen and relate has helped me become a great teacher in…

I believe a tutor can prepare interactive lectures, so that students can participate in the lectures. That technique is very helpful to get the maximum attention of the students. Moreover, a tutor can provide real life example of the topics so that students can easily relate the study contents with the real world. I can easily get synchronized…

Even moreso, I think it is vital that tutors are patient, listening to their students and trying to make them feel as comfortable as possible even when faced with a challenge. I think as a tutor and in general, I am very hard working, and will be …

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to inspire them and gives them a goal which they should work towards, as many students do poorly in exams simply because they lack a goal or something to work towards. If they have clear goals this makes achieving good results much easier. I am patient with students especially…

To be supportive and to help them to understand that being confused or not understanding something straight away is an essential part of the learning experience.

It is important to form a connection with them, so they feel…

One of the most important things a tutor can do is to build both a professional and friendly rapport with the students at the beginning. This helps to set a comfortable and safe learning environment.

Being able to give a full and comprehensive understanding of a syllabus, AND to make the student confident. Because the more understanding and confident they are, the easier will it be for them to analyse and solve the problem, they might even become creative with the problems, which is essentially a phase of nirvana for students.

I think as a tutor the most important thing you can do is to teach a student to want to learn, rather than just giving them all the answers, because if you give them positive reinforcement they can do the work themselves and feel much more accomplished.

Inside Potts PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Taiki focused on reading comprehension and phonics by working through 'The Dragon,' tackling unfamiliar words using sound-out strategies, and then writing sentences with new vocabulary.

For Year 10, Maddison practised trigonometry skills—solving right-angled triangles including angles of elevation and depression—and moved onto bearings problems using extension exercises from class.

In Year 11, Sophie revised theoretical versus experimental probability as well as relative frequency questions in preparation for her upcoming exam.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, one student consistently crossed out mistakes in their notes rather than leaving visible corrections, which made it harder to track where errors occurred and slowed review.

In a Year 10 probability lesson, messy written work meant "the working was too hard to read back on," making it difficult to check answers or revisit solutions later.

A senior English student preparing an assignment avoided linking points back to the topic sentence and left structure incomplete, reflecting reluctance to engage with feedback about argument clarity.

For one junior primary learner, forgetting home reading slowed progress with unfamiliar words and sounds.

Recent Achievements

One Potts Point tutor noticed a Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitancy, now comes prepared with her own list of problem areas—last session, she worked through bearings and probability questions on her own initiative.

Another high school student, Martina, used to rely heavily on worked examples but recently solved algebraic fraction problems independently without looking back at notes—a clear shift towards independence.

In Year 3 English, a student who struggled with past tense verbs is now confidently creating his own sentences using new spelling words and correctly adding '-ed' endings when prompted.

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 Kings Cross Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Vincent's College.
