The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is always starting by building trust and a positive relationship with the student. This way a tutor can keep professionalism and at he same time help a student not only understand content but fall in love with the content. My strengths as a tutor are being flexible and patient in dealing with…

I also make sure that I am easy to talk to so that there is clear communication between the tutor and student. I also think that it is important to make sure the…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not spoon feed information, its the art of teaching the child to a degree where it helps them but doesnt answer the entire thing. Spoon feeding a student will only help temporarily and is very harmful. I believe my strengths are that i dont like to teach every child the same way. Each…

Listen, I feel that I need to hear what they struggle with and why they think they are unable to do as well as they would like. From their we can use their strengths to help improve their weaker parts of their school work. I understand where the students are coming from. I was not a top 1% student in high school. I have been able to find a way to…

I believe in preparing a student to handle situation which the world throws at any point of time. A child should be prepared for every situation and should develop organizational, time management skills. As a tutor, I work at these skills as much as at the curriculum to create confident, independent learners. I believe my greatest strength is…

The most important that a tutor can do for a student is to be the best friend of that student. It is crucial to remember that there are many other aspects to that student than just academic. If you know the student well enough, that student will begin to enjoy studying and being able to perform great academically. I believe that is the greatest…

As a tutor is paid to improve a student's grades and so that's the underlying aim. But what a tutor should really do is teach a student how to learn better and improve. That means reminding them to proofread, read the criteria sheet before and after researching, and set up study plans that work with them (if that's palm cards, end of the week…

I personally believe that the most important thing is being reliable and consistently there for a student. If they know that I will be there week in week out for them they can rely on me whenever things do get hard at school, knowing I am there to help them. I am extremely patient with people when I am explaining stuff. If at first they don’t…

I believe the most significant thing a tutor can do is shape their teaching based on the students weaknesses to enhance their learning to the fullest. I also believe teaching the students to be independent in their students is significant as you cannot be their for them 24/7, and helping them develop proper individual study skills is crucial for a…

To me, one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be open and encouraging. Everyone (not only kids) gets embarrassed and scared to ask questions when they don't know what to do -- its our job to make sure they feel safe enough to ask so that they can fully grasp everything in their minds. If one of my students kept…

Increase their confidence, a student who has bad grades or feels left behind often underperforms due to this sole reason. After increasing their confidence by helping them truly understand a concept or topic, they feel more confident and adept in class.

Helping them to understand the right way to gain knowledge, either through the ability to scan and pick out relevant details or the ability to summarise key points.

Be empathetic and help them through a method they are most comfortable with, even if it can be time consuming. As I have recently graduated highschool, the information is still fresh in my mind.

I tutor on the principle that any student requires three things above all else when learning; 1. Knowledge that is reliable and understandable. 2. Patience in self and most importantly from myself. 3. Support from all parties involved so they're able to progress when learning and feel comfortable in the teaching space. This allows me to…

I think the purpose of a tutor is to complement and supplement the school classroom learning to ensure that the student has a good understanding of the subject's content, but ultimately a good tutor will develop a student's independent learning ability, and only fill in gaps in a student's knowledge when required. A tutor should guide a student…

Local Reviews

Since the v first session with Radu, we were all totally hooked! He is not just the BEST tutor but the most amazing person. Radu has the ability to calmly install confidence into his students and ensure that they fully understand all the concepts, not just learn them. He is kind, professional and a honest joy to have around ??

Inside RiverhillsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Cara focused on consolidating times tables (4, 6, 7, 8, and 9) through oral quizzes and practiced converting between decimals, percentages, and fractions.

Year 11 student Sanvi worked on binomial probability (including mean and standard deviation for discrete random variables) and tackled calculus problems involving differentiation of logarithmic functions using the chain rule.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Alex reviewed integration by substitution in the context of probability density functions and revised polynomial division alongside applications of the factor theorem.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, several students hesitated to set out their reasoning clearly in integration and probability questions—one tutor noted, "he skipped stating 'by product rule' in test working," which made justifying answers harder.

In a Year 9 Chemistry session, the analysis section was left unfinished and required better organization before moving on.

For a Year 4 student, forgetting to keep a homework notebook meant tasks were often missed or incomplete.

During advanced trigonometry (Year 12), relying heavily on calculators for standard values led to gaps when tackling unfamiliar problems without technology in assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Riverhills tutor noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with integration by substitution, now independently applies the method to tackle unfamiliar calculus problems.

In another session, a high schooler working on chemistry assignments has started her work early for the first time and is now connecting concepts across topics without prompting—a big shift from previously leaving tasks until the last minute.

Meanwhile, Cara in Year 4 has moved from relying on notes for times tables to scoring full marks in quizzes purely from memory and now volunteers to try new problem types before being asked.

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 Mount Ommaney Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Middle Park State School.
