Kevin
Tutor Telopea, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do is to be empathetic and understand how the student learns to be able to teach them in a meaningful way. The best way to teach a student is to give them the time and attention they need to learn that they otherwise wouldn't get in a class of 20-30 students. Tutors also have to be able to make the student…

Local Reviews
Inside RydalmereTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 8 student Jason focused on direct and inverse proportion, along with revision of trigonometry concepts and surds from recent quizzes and homework.
For Year 10, Emma spent time revising addition and subtraction of surds as well as tackling more complex questions in coordinate geometry and trigonometry.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah worked through advanced integration techniques and differentiation equations, often applying these to exam-style problems for consolidation.
Recent Challenges
A Year 10 student repeatedly left maths homework incomplete, which led to confusion in class quizzes—especially on coordinate geometry and proportionality. As a tutor noted, "she was unable to complete the homework for proportionality," meaning she struggled when these concepts reappeared later.
For a Year 6 student, inconsistent note-taking made revision difficult; missed details from earlier algebra lessons resurfaced as obstacles during exam review.
In Year 4 writing, capitalisation and punctuation errors persisted because draft work wasn't checked or formatted clearly, making it hard to identify mistakes before submission.
Missed practice and weak organization have directly impacted confidence and recall across grades.
Recent Achievements
One Rydalmere tutoring session saw a Year 10 student who had previously struggled with simultaneous equations complete a tricky quiz question perfectly after targeted revision, and she now regularly checks her own mistakes during homework.
A high schooler working on exam prep started actively asking about optimal study schedules and linking topics like financial maths to real-life scenarios—showing new independence compared to past passivity.
Meanwhile, in primary years, one student who used to guess when unsure now openly asks for help with odd and even numbers, leading to more accurate answers each lesson.
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 Ermington Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Mary's Primary School.
