The most important thing a tutor can do is to adapt to student needs. As they grow and change, your methods might have to as well. Developing and implementing comprehensive lesson plans that accommodate specific level of learners while offering support to make sure that each student is able to grasp…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to build a strong personal connection with the student and incorporate connections to the student's interest while teaching. It is very important to work on the weaknesses of the student and personalize the teaching accordingly. Following are my strengths as a tutor: 1. My focus on…

I think as a tutor, most important thing is to helping them developing their study patterns so they can utilise it when they are graduated from high school. Tutoring is not about learning new things but it is about recalling and developing what was learnt from school that they are ready to adapt new knowledge. First strength is my knowledge in…

I think most importantly a tutor should be able to engage students more in learning through group/individual activities to keep them going and learning with the entire class. Rather than just explaining things or delivering the lecture. It is important to check their understanding of the topic being explained or information being provided. This…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is allow them to learn. I have seen cases where tutors sit there and answer the student once they get stuck, which I consider detrimental to the child's learning. I recognize the importance of facilitating learning by guiding students rather than just answering their work for them. When I was…

It is giving them understanding and proper pacing. You should first check the level of ability of the student and you should be the one to adjust to their level to ensure optimal learning. I am patient, creative, and makes sure that the person I am tutoring got a good sense or grasp of the lesson. I also give questions to test their…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do are to build the student’s confidence, adapt to their individual learning style, and create a consistent and supportive learning experience. A good tutor should not only help improve grades, but also help the student become more independent in their learning. This includes encouraging…

I think the two most important things are making the student feel comfortable enough to ask questions, and actually understanding where they're stuck rather than just re-explaining the same thing louder. A lot of students stay quiet because they're embarrassed to admit they don't get something, so creating a judgment-free environment matters a…

Listen. I find that listening to why the student might be struggling or what they have missed is the first and most important step to helping a student. Secondly a tutor should be able to adapt. Wether that be to a different learning style or struggle and through tutoring be able to help them to understand how to study and progress in their…

Again, it is understanding and comprehending. Memorising is the second. I am bachelor of clinical science student and I have so much to memorise in anatomy. But even in anatomy, understanding is the first step. I think every thing has a whey they are. I think I need to teach them why they are learning. I focus on one thing "comprehension" I think…

Not only to foster understanding, but building confidence is essential. This involves fluency of course, but also being confident in trying many methods even if it gets tedious after the first few attempts, while being able to seek help no matter the triviality. I'm patient with all learning paces, and enthusiastic to learn about any student's way…

I believe a tutor should not only teach students exam oriented problem solving skills but also help them build positive learning mindsets. I once struggled with science subjects, so I understand how teenage troubles and academic setbacks can distract students. I can help them allocate energy reasonably between study and daily life, and guide them…

Instilling confidence in them - especially when it comes to subjects like Math, students have kind of been programmed to think of it as a difficult subject and to fear it. Breaking those stereotypes, and making sure the correct resources are accessible for them to face the content with self-confidence can make a big difference in their lives in…

The most important thing a tutor could do for a student is show them that every student responds to education in the same way or at the same pace and whichever way they process information is perfectly normal. The goal is to maximize learning, in the way that works best for the students. I have seen this significantly reduce academic frustrations…

I believe the most vital thing a tutor can do for a student is to give an explanation. We tutors exist to answer and explain questions that a lesson can't provide. Generally, it is best that a student is comfortable asking questions without being judged by classmates and that is the foundation of learning. Not to mention, each tutor might have a…

Change in accordance to what a student expresses. No one likes to be feel or be stated as dumb, a tutor should be a guide more than an instructor. He/ she should be a friend who shares their knowledge while solving problems together rather than being a standard commercial teacher. Personalization, Adaptation, Patience, Practical…

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.
