It is all about knowing the audience. Not all kids/students have the same skillset, some are good in memorizing, some are good in analogy, some are good in logic and arithmetic. So it's about knowing their strengths and align it in a way that it would enhance their ability to learn. I am very dynamic and very patient in terms of tutoring, the…

Help them gain confidence in themselves and uplifting them in the process. To do this I think its important to ensure the student is still self sufficient (not just given the answers).

A tutor is similar to a learning support assistant in schools, they are there to assist the teacher and they do lots of jobs to help students achieve learning goals. A tutor does the same thing except there is no classroom it’s just you and the student. I think just encouraging and supporting them as they navigate through their learning…

Since tutors have no influence over their lives outside of tutoring, students often feel comfortable asking us questions they would feel embarrassed or "dumb" for asking a parent or teacher. Tutors…

Additionally, teachers have to be truly dedicated especially in terms of correction of homework and assignments. I have had students giving me feedback like I am really patient in clarifying the concepts.…

Local Reviews

Ziada has a lovely manner, and is a pleasure to have here tutor my year 9 son in maths. She is calm and softly spoken, which has been a perfect match for us. I love the way she lets my son have a go and talk through the problem, and what he knows, before leaping in with an explanation. This gives my son the opportunity to just nod and say he understand without actually understanding! She is very knowledgeable, encouraging and patient. And my son always feels good at the end of the session. Her communication is impeccable. Very timely and friendly. She has been very understanding when we got caught up and had to move our time. I would highly recommend Ziada to anyone ?

Inside RichardsonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Eva practised measuring angles using a protractor and revisited percentage questions, with extra focus on correcting mistakes.

For Year 8, Noah tackled surface area and volume problems for prisms and cylinders, working through calculations step by step.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sarah focused on solving quadratic equations both by factorising and applying the quadratic formula to a range of practice examples.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student hadn't completed any extra revision before an upcoming exam, which meant opportunities to build independent study habits were missed—"she hadn't done any extra revision for her exam since the last session."

In Year 11, lesson planning and preparation remained inconsistent; a tutor noted sessions often began without clear goals, making it harder to target weaknesses.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's solutions were sometimes messy and hard to follow in algebra problems, leading to confusion when reviewing errors.

In primary maths, incomplete homework was common, with one child getting most questions wrong at home but then solving them correctly together in-session. This suggests significant gaps in independent problem-solving or confidence outside of tutoring support.

Recent Achievements

One Richardson tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously struggled with quadratic graphs quickly grasp how changing variables shifts their shape, and he now asks more questions to deepen his understanding.

In a recent high school English session, another student became much more descriptive in her narrative essays, moving from brief sentences to richer detail after focused practice.

Meanwhile, a younger learner gained real independence using a protractor—she's now consistently measuring angles correctly on her own, where she used to hesitate and ask for help each time before tackling an angle-measuring question.

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 Erindale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Richardson Primary School.
