Education as a whole is constructed upon two pillars, those being understanding and impetus. Tutors have an obligation to each of their pupils to provide materials and instruction to facilitate both. Without a degree of comprehension, students are susceptible to establish an unhealthy relationship with their academia and it is crucial that the…

I consider the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is create a space that they feel comfortable to be challenged and to learn in. It’s one thing to just help with answering questions but to encourage and motivate students to take on the difficult concepts even when they're working on their own, this is crucial and shows growth.…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to inculcate self-discipline, curiosity and initiative. These characteristics will offer the student the necessary tools he / she needs to succeed in his / her academics in a manner that is more sustainable than mere "motivation."

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is build a student's confidence and make learning feel approachable. When students feel supported and understood, they're far more likely to engage, ask questions, and take risks, which is where real growth happens! A great tutor doesn't just explain the content clearly; they also adapt to the…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to be empathetic and understand how the student learns to be able to teach them in a meaningful way. The best way to teach a student is to give them the time and attention they need to learn that they otherwise wouldn't get in a class of 20-30 students. Tutors also have to be able to make the student…

The most important thing would be to connect with the student, be on the same wavelength. If you can connect with your student then you can understand their struggles learning the content. It also allows the student to be more relaxed and less stressed which aids in their learning. If they see the process of getting tutored as a chore or a burden…

I consider effective communication to be the most important thing a tutor can have for a student, as this one quality filters into all aspects of the job as a tutor. This allows the tutor to gain an understanding of the specific goals or concerns of the student to then maximise the use of sessions, allowing for substantial growth. I believe my…

Local Reviews

The whole process was really easy. We switched sessions a few times and nothing was a problem for them, they were very accommodating.
Anne, Putney

Inside PutneyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Amber worked through a chemistry worksheet on radioactive decay and also reviewed chemical bonding for an upcoming assessment.

In Year 10, Michael focused on interpreting box and whisker plots to understand range and interquartile range, alongside tackling data processing questions from his textbook.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Liam practiced the basics of trigonometry using right-angled triangle problems, reinforcing foundational skills with targeted exercises.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled to recall past mathematics content quickly, with a tutor noting, "she needs to practice more and do the homework," as life distractions affected her focus.

In Year 12 Economics, one student was advised to review case study work before an exam but showed a tendency to only revise familiar material rather than tackle new essay structures or definitions.

For a Year 8 student, difficulty arose in remembering which formulae applied during circle problems, especially without regular revision.

When confidence dropped after setbacks—like confusing equation labels in Year 9—the urge to avoid challenging tasks crept in.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Putney noticed one Year 12 student who had struggled with writing structured business report paragraphs was able to produce her first full paragraph independently last session—a real leap from needing step-by-step guidance.

In a recent Year 11 economics session, a student who previously missed links between inflation and other objectives could now explain these connections without prompting, showing clear growth in analytical thinking.

Meanwhile, Erin in Year 6, who often hesitated with new problem-solving methods, began using a "work backwards" approach for network questions after some encouragement and stuck with it through the whole worksheet.

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