The most important thing a tutor can do wouldn't be to have the answers to every question they have. It would be to teach a student properly so they understand the task properly, so that in the future, they can do it by themselves. It is important to teach students that mistakes often occur and these are crucial, as it allows us to recognise…

PDHPE Tutor Ryde, NSW
A tutor is more than a teacher. A teachers job is to give a student a base level of understanding whereas a tutor can build on that and go further. This allows students to revisit sections that the teacher brushed over or to build on sections they seemingly understand to ensure they can answer a greater range of question types. Along with the…

I value tutors as being mentors who students look up to for advice and as a role model, whilst revealing a students' true potential which in turn improves self-confidence and self-esteem. For instance, I think the evolving of students' enjoyment towards subjects, even ever so slightly, is one of the most valuable things an inspiring and supportive…

Tutors must build the confidence of their students - they can't just teach them the content and expect them to be able to do it on their own - its more than that. A good tutor needs to build the childs confidence so they know they can answer a question. I can do this, I am the type of tutor that wants to support students to do their best and to…

I think the greatest gift a tutor can provide to a student is support. School can often be an isolating and intimidating experience, and often students, despite being remarkably talented, feel afraid to take risks and go beyond what is expected of them. A tutor can also make the learning experience far more rewarding and enjoyable. Students feel…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to build their self-confidence to a stage where they do not give up on anything to do with learning.

It is so important for tutors to adapt their method of teaching to the way the student learns. Every student not only has different needs and difficulties, but learns concepts differently.

Local Reviews

The tutoring is going really well.

Inside RhodesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Ruby practised **fraction operations and strategies for working with decimals**, using visual models to build confidence.

In Year 11, Daniel explored **trigonometric identities** alongside exponential and logarithmic functions, focusing on manipulating equations and applying log laws.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sarah worked through **advanced integration techniques** including substitution and the use of first and second derivatives to solve calculus-based motion questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student in Advanced Maths often relied on rote memorisation for trig identities but struggled to recall them accurately during integration tasks—"he hesitated when asked to apply the ASTC rule," one tutor noted, which slowed progress.

In Year 9, algebraic working was sometimes messy and lacked structure, making it hard to spot calculation slips and review errors.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student's times tables revision stayed only at the familiar level, missing out on harder combinations.

For English in Year 12, late essay drafts meant feedback couldn't be actioned before final submission.

Recent Achievements

One Rhodes tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to freeze on integration questions now working through u-substitution problems step by step without prompts.

In another session, a Year 8 student who had previously guessed at algebra is now confidently identifying unknowns and explaining her process aloud.

A primary school learner, after weeks of hesitation, has started breaking up tens and units independently when multiplying, rather than waiting for help.

Most notably, last week's high school session finished with a student choosing and justifying the best analysis techniques for his English essay draft on his own.

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 West Ryde Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wentworth Point High School.
