I have rarely ever used the same method of explaining a concept/theory on multiple students. It is really important for tutors to understand the needs and abilities of their students in order to maintain progress. It is also crucial for tutors to have time-management and resourceful qualities in order to ensure academic development in students.…

It is most important that a tutor doesn't give up on their students.

In addition, it is essential for a tutor to be able to learn the student's strengths and weaknesses and their way of thinking, so the…

A tutor needs to be able to have the appropriate expectation on what each unique student is able to accomplish and thus make adjustments appropriately.

Inside RiverstoneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Charlize practised comparing fractions with different denominators and used pie graphs to visualise them, then worked on long division problems using the HMS-down method.

In Year 10, Justine focused on circle geometry exam questions, including applying angle properties in diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Ivanna tackled inverse and composite functions from chapters 4I and 4J, building fluency with function operations and notation.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student's lesson revealed a key process gap: he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors, making it hard to spot mistakes until late.

In Year 12 probability, a student left boxes empty when unsure, rather than attempting partial answers or using feedback to guide their thinking.

One primary student hesitated to ask for help with spelling rules and vowel placements, leading to repeated errors on writing tasks.

Missed homework in senior mathematics meant concepts like the triangle inequality and Kruskal's algorithm faded between lessons, forcing time to be spent reteaching instead of moving forward.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Riverstone noticed a Year 11 student who used to hesitate with new maths concepts now independently applies the point-gradient formula and can explain her reasoning for both domain and range questions, even asking follow-up questions when stuck.

Another high schooler has started double-checking answers on their own and will pause the lesson to clarify anything unclear, rather than quietly guessing like before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who once struggled with multiplication tables now remembers strategies between lessons—she was able to recall the 4 times table from memory after practice without needing prompts.

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 Vinegar Hill Memorial Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Riverstone Public School.
