Biology Tutor Chatswood, NSW
Apart from the obvious requirements to provide sound academic knowledge and advice, the other aspect of tutoring that I consider most important is getting the student excited about learning. The best teachers have a successful balance of both aspects. When a tutor is excited about the content, that will get the student excited as well. An…

Understand the student, be patient with them and rather than becoming the student's boss, become their leader/role model and guide them towards their goals. A tutor should also have a growth mindset with his students and always be positive not letting his students drop their heads. I'm very patient and I also completed a Psychology internship in a…

I consider being empathetic and adaptive for students is highly important. Being empathetic of your students struggles and not putting them down for not understanding is the most important thing a tutor can do for them to ensure they feel comfortable and confident in their learning. Adaptability is also a key component for a tutor as not every…

Biology Tutor Balmain East, NSW
I believe that the tutor shouldn't be the one always in control and leading the session. Especially in early sessions, I believe the tutor should encourage the student to ask many questions of them, to grasp what they know and how they interpret different topics. Tutoring almost becomes useless if the tutor is the one constantly talking because…

Making students regain the confidence they loose on themselves when they see they're not getting the results they expected. Feeling like you're not good enough at something really takes a toll on you and having someone help you through that makes going to class every day and the stress of exams much more bearable. I think I connect with children…

I was tutored in highschool which has allowed me to…

The best thing a tutor can do for a student is affirm their self-worth as a learner and as an individual.

It's certainly not an easy task 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. It is extremely important to regularly re-evaluate the student's objectives. Modifying your approach as a tutor to make the student feel comfortable and…

Local Reviews

First tutor didn't really suit our needs but this was resolved very quickly and I am now very happy with how things are progressing. If anything, there is probably a little too much communication via email. A monthly newsletter would be better than a series of single subjects as I tend to delete without reading them if I get too many.

Inside RiverviewTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student James practised division strategies and worked on adding and subtracting decimals in money problems.

In Year 10, Sarah revised coordinate geometry with a focus on distance and midpoint calculations, then tackled function transformations using graph sketches.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ben completed past paper questions involving sequences and series, as well as probability scenarios requiring multi-step reasoning.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Mathematics, a student lost nearly half their marks in a major exam due to repeated "silly errors"—often tied to negative signs and missing steps—despite knowing the underlying concepts. As one tutor observed, "almost 40 out of 80 marks lost due to silly errors."

In Year 7, trouble choosing between operations (addition vs. subtraction) slowed progress on worded problems and led to hesitation when faced with multi-step calculations.

Meanwhile, in primary years, short-term memory lapses with times tables (especially 6–8) meant relying on reference charts instead of mental recall during timed drills, adding pressure mid-task.

Recent Achievements

A Riverview tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to make frequent minus sign mistakes in calculus now double-checking his work and catching those slips before finishing.

In Year 8, a student who'd struggled with curve sketching managed to re-apply their understanding of transformations to tackle tougher questions with less hesitation than last month.

Meanwhile, one primary student who could only recall some times tables now completes a full 10x10 grid in under ten minutes—twice as fast as just a few weeks ago.

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 Lane Cove Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Saint Ignatius' College, The Regis Campus.
