I feel if a tutor can leave the student with a longing for learning more or a satisfaction that they conquered a difficult topic is most important. I can give examples that the person can relate to which makes the topic easier to understand. I also know where a student might face difficulties on a certain…

Personally, when I was a student the most important effect of good teachers and tutors was regaining confidence in myself. They showed me that it was okay to fail, how to bounce back, and how to learn from my mistakes. Having a strong education is a wonderful thing, but having been through the whole K-12-Uni-Workforce pipeline by far the best…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them reach their full potential in both academics and attitude towards the subject.

Most important thing is to make the subject easy and interesting for the student. A student should feel confident after the topic is taught. I feel I have the knack of explaining the topic to a student in some of the most simple and easy ways to understand. I am able to identify the pain points of the student for a given topic, and I am able…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to understand each students unique needs and adapt their teaching style accordingly. This approach makes learning both more fun and effective, and can help boost the students confidence. I'd say my strength lies in communication. I am good at explaining things, but I also pay close attention to…

Do not try to impose the thought that he believes the correct solution and try to explain to the student how to arrive at the reasoning that gives the answer.

A tutor should always remember that their purpose is to help the student understand and love the subject and not do the work for them.

Help them enjoy learning. The role of a tutor should be to engage the student and make the learning process fun, encouraging them to put more effort into their learning, consequently improving their results.

I would first try to understand what’s causing the struggle—whether it’s a gap in knowledge, a lack of confidence, or simply feeling overwhelmed. Then, I’d adjust my approach, maybe by revisiting the basics, using different examples, or setting small, achievable goals. I’d also encourage them by highlighting their progress so they feel…

I think enthusiasm is important - I have found in my own studies that when someone isn't enthusiastic about what they are teaching, it can easily dampen one's own ability to take on information. As i mentioned, being patient and encouraging is key to making students feel confident in their learning. Finally, being organised so that when the lesson…

A tutor is a guide to show the right path. Students might stumble a lot, but tutor should hold him up, stand by him and show the right direction.

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.
