The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to walk side by side with them. Although it is a certain subject that we teach to our students, it would be a shame if we just left it at that. I believe that tutors should walk with their students past just the subject, teaching them life skills as well. My biggest strength as a tutor…

A tutor can provide mentoring and perspective for a student. Tutoring in my opinion is more effective than lecturing as the student gets more individual attention. A tutor is somebody you can go to if you are not completely confident studying by yourself. My strengths are that i am very good at mathematics and enjoy helping other people. I also…

Tutoring can be challenging, especially when it comes to motivating your learner. You see the potential they have, and they often hear about the potential they have, but they do not feel as though they got what it takes. Living in such a busy and demanding time can often make us feel the time constraints on everything we do and we expect our…

A tutor should teach their student how to think. They shouldn't be teaching them to rote memorise (although there is a place for that in high school academics) but rather a general method of solving problems. When a tutor's work is done, their student should be able to look at a difficult problem, identify what kind of a problem it is and apply…

The most important thing would be being able to be flexible in your teaching strategy so that a kid who may not have understood the concept, understands it in a different way. Being able to do this without losing your temper at a kid who doesn't understand is an underappreciated skill according to me because usually people think of it as more…

The most important role of tutors is to help and see their students achieve their academic goals. This is done by being disciplined, committed, and compassionate towards the student's learning. When tutors meet students they need to understand their strengths, weaknesses, and areas of concern. Tutors need to identify these for their student(s) and…

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.
