I think the most important thing a tutor can do is help a student believe in themselves. Good tutoring isn’t just about explaining the material — it’s about building confidence, curiosity, and independence. A tutor should listen carefully, adapt to each student’s needs, and celebrate their progress along the way. When students feel…

A tutor can greatly encourage and inspre confidence in a student, especially when they feel lost in class. A change of studying pace may also help the student to get another perspective of the lessons they get in school. I am flexible and willing to adapt to the student - I understand that a rigid method of teaching is not going to work well with…

Clearly, a good tutor must teach a student not only the formulas or final answers but the reasoning behind them. I value this kind of critical thinking instead of memorizing a set of formulas that I do not know where they come from. I consider myself a patient teacher. I always try to explain slowly until my students understand the…

Provide feedback to work, offering insight into what someone who has experience in a subject would write, how they would write in order to have the highest chance to gain marks.

A great tutor does more than just teach—they empower, guide, and inspire students to reach their full potential. A tutor’s goal isn’t just to help with immediate challenges but to equip students with the skills to solve future problems on their own. Many students, especially women and minorities in STEM, face imposter syndrome. A great tutor…

For a tutor, the most important thing to do is analyze their students.. All students are different and have different learning patterns and methodologies. A tutor should then be able to change their approach of teaching based on the child. My biggest strength is that I can connect with students very well and I can explain concepts in a way that…

Be an attentive listener then explain the concept in the way your student will best understand it.

Inside RedfernTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Lily worked through perimeter and multiplication skills, using both traditional exercises and interactive math games to boost engagement.

For Year 7, James focused on algebraic expressions including expanding like terms as well as powers, practicing with step-by-step examples.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Priya developed her understanding of probability concepts and direct versus indirect proportionality, applying these ideas to real-world scenarios for clearer comprehension.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 mathematics, difficulty was observed with setting out clear lines of reasoning when tackling probability problems; as one tutor put it, "she knows the subject well, but has trouble putting together the line of reasoning."

In a Year 7 lesson on fractions and division by decimals, written working sometimes became messy or incomplete, making it harder to identify where confusion arose.

A senior student avoided showing all steps in algebraic expansions during revision, which led to repeated sign errors and slower progress.

When reviewing multiplication tables (Years 3–5), some learners relied heavily on verbal recall instead of written practice, slowing mastery.

Recent Achievements

A Redfern tutor noticed a Year 11 student who initially struggled to explain her reasoning in probability is now confidently breaking problems into logical steps before solving them.

In Year 8, Sara recently showed real initiative during algebra—she now asks for extra practice with combining like terms, instead of waiting for direction, which marks a big shift from her earlier passivity.

Meanwhile, Lily in primary school has started double-checking her answers on complex fraction and area questions without being prompted; just last week she chose to rework a perimeter problem until every step matched the question's requirements.

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 Waterloo Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Inner Sydney High School.
