Modern History Tutor South Hurstville, NSW
It is always important to enhance the basics for my students before assisting them with the concept aspects of the subject. Through communicating with the student, I would try my best to answer all possible questions requested by the student and instil confidence for my students throughout each lesson. I have many strengths as a tutor. I have the…

Modern History Tutor Rockdale, NSW
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them not only build the skills they need for the subject they're being tutored in, but also to build the skills to be confident of themselves within it as well. From my experience being tutored both in maths and for an instrument, that was something my tutors helped me with,…

The most important a tutor can do for a student is to be engaging. There is no point in teaching a student if he/she is not engaged in the content and not absorbing it. Tutors should be aware of his student's needs and wants in order to best engage them in the lesson and material in order to ensure the most rewarding learning experience. Coming…

Modern History Tutor Kogarah Bay, NSW
I believe that the tutor's purpose is not to make the student rely on them, but rather to give them the tools to figure things out for themselves. Tutors need to be able to communicate easily and coherently, in order to ensure that the student can understand. I believe I am patient and willing to work at something until the other person…

I believe being able to relate and support your student is the most fundamental aspect of tutoring, as it allows you to effectively gauge where they are struggling and excelling. As not every student can be treated in the same manner, this understanding is quintessential in ensuring that one's student is enjoying tutoring and growing in knowledge…

I believe the three most important things I could do for a student is academic support, addressing study habits and confronting weaknesses. I believe focusing on these three aspects will do the upmost for the student in the short and long term. I’ve grown up and worked with people from across the socio-economic spectrum, I think I have a…

Be encouraging - Student's won't understand something straight away and this can be a source of discouragement for them. The last thing they need is a tutor who refuses to acknowledge this. Constantly encouraing the student will help them realise it will only be a matter of time until they nail a concept. Be a friend - The idea of a tutor is to…

A tutor needs to be a good role model both as a peer and a teacher. They must understand the capabilities and abilities of the students and be able to adjust their learning methods to help meet the needs of the student for them to succeed and achieve their own academic best result while helping the student shape their understanding of the world…

I think it's a question of what a tutor can BE rather than do. I found in my experience that I always responded to teachers who were enthusiastic and portrayed a genuine care for the learning of the student. In a metaphorical sense, the tutor must think like a student in an empathetic way rather than merely be a one way stream of instruction. If a…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen to what they need and make sure to push them only to their highest point of productivity. Every student has different goals and learns in a different way so it is the responsibility of the tutor to cater to those needs. I am able to foster and maintain strong connections with…

For me, the most important thing that a tutor can do is to develop students' confidence and ability in their studies. By working with a student personally by meeting them where they are at in their abilities, a student's academic confidence can grow as they are able to focus on areas of their work that they specifically struggle with. I think this…

Inside SandringhamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student covered solving for missing values in trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent) and tackled real-world word problems involving trigonometry.

In Year 11 Chemistry, work focused on balancing chemical equations and calculating limiting reagents and unknown moles.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student reviewed acids and bases with an emphasis on titrations, using step-by-step practice to reinforce concepts.

Recent Challenges

A recurring challenge in Year 10–11 mathematics has been incomplete revision between sessions; as one tutor put it, "I end up having to spend the next week covering what I went through the previous week." This cycle delays progress and leaves less time for new material before exams.

In Year 7 algebra, skipping written steps—especially with cross multiplication—meant errors crept in but weren't visible for correction.

For a Year 3 English task, homework was often misplaced or left unfinished, with work scattered across loose pages instead of kept in the provided booklet, making review and improvement harder.

Recent Achievements

One Sandringham tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously struggled to stay focused now working through chemistry calculations—like titration and molar mass—on her own, even explaining her steps aloud without prompting.

A Year 8 boy, who used to rush homework with errors, surprised his tutor by redoing a NAPLAN quiz carefully and getting it all correct after missing questions the week before.

Meanwhile, in Year 3, Max—who often hesitated with spelling tests—spelled out all ten "-ai" and "-ay" words correctly for the first time, finishing the list independently and putting schoolwork first.

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 Sans Souci Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like The Scots College, Brighton Preparatory School.
