I believe the most important things a tutor can do are to build a student’s understanding, confidence, and independence. A tutor should not only help students answer specific questions, but also guide them in developing problem-solving skills and effective ways of thinking. Listening carefully, identifying gaps in understanding, and adapting…

The most important things a student can get from a tutor is support and encouragement. There is a genuine need for understanding between students and their tutors. If a tutor is able to understand a students needs and cater to them, then there is no better tutor-student relationship. My strengths as a tutor are definitely my patience and…

Not only can they identify their learning style but they will adapt to a new revision method that’s most…

I believe empowerment is one single most important aspects a tutor can bring to a student's live.

A tutor should focus on building both understanding and confidence. That includes breaking down difficult concepts, being patient, and adapting to the student’s learning style. I also think it’s important to encourage problem-solving skills so the student becomes more independent over time, rather than relying on the tutor. I think one of my…

Give the student the foundational skills to excel on the own once outside of tutoring. A good tutor will be able to get their student to a level where they feel competent to work by themselves, and know both how to solve a problem, and why we approach the problem the way we do. My strengths as a tutor is my relatability, as math didn’t come easy…

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.
