As the student could be visual learner, a kinesthetic learner, or just an auditory learner, the teacher has to use appropriate teaching methods. I can explain concepts clearly.

A tutor needs to inspire the students in such a way that they know what their efforts will make them accomplish. A very few teachers are able to provide the contextual applications of what they teach the students. I believe it is paramount that a student know about WHY he is being taught something. Sparking interest in studies is not easy at times…

I have rarely ever used the same method of explaining a concept/theory on multiple students.

It is also crucial for tutors to have time-management and resourceful qualities in order to ensure academic development in students.…

I think the most important thing is not to do the questions for them but to guide them as they do them so that in the future they will be able to do them by themselves. Giving certain little tricks and clues to help them remember certain things as well can be good as it will help them to remember certain concepts. I think because I also somewhat…

Making students regain the confidence they loose on themselves when they see they're not getting the results they expected.

Put yourself in the situation. Think about what you would do as someone who is supposedly better at tackling difficult problems if you stumbled upon the same question. Then convey your thinking to the student. I am patient and I am good at predicting what student may find difficult in a certain exam/test. I am also adaptive to individual dilemmas…

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.
