I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student is helping them improve in areas they may be struggling in, as well as helping them further in other areas. My strengths come from the fact that I have been doing maths tutoring for school students weekly for over a year, giving me experience in providing students confidence in the…

The most important thing a tutor can do is being able to support their student not only in the classroom but also outside. The tutor throughout the week should respond to any questions or problems the student may be having in between their classes. Other important things include the tutors ability to reassure the student when they are stuck in any…

The students already have teachers at school. Rather than being just another teacher figure, a tutor is also a mentor that travels on a journey alongside the student. As such, the most important things they can do for the child is to be compassionate, patient, and support the child with the goals they want to achieve. I am patient, I take the time…

The most important things a tutor can do is help the student gain a proper understanding of concepts to aid all their personal study and school work.

The most important thing is to support their learning. For example, when I ask a student to do a question and they are struggling, I wouldn't give them the steps but remind them of what to do and possibly where to start. It is important for student's to be able to develop problem solving skills and be independent with their learning. Being patient…

Being accepting of any & all questions in a friendly and non-judgmental manner, so as to make sure the student feels comfortable asking such questions, because otherwise it would defeat the purpose of being tutored.

Inside Sandy PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Athena worked on multiplication facts and applied them to word problems, as well as reading and converting time between digital and analogue formats.

In Year 7, Zara focused on decimal addition and subtraction alongside revising factors and multiples using number puzzles.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Tom practiced operations with fractions—including converting improper to mixed numbers—and explored order of operations through targeted exercises.

Recent Challenges

A Year 6 student working on perimeter often missed sides without numbers, as a tutor observed: "she relied heavily on the calculator, even though her manual column addition is strong."

In Year 9 surface area lessons, another struggled to double-check if each face was counted, sometimes skipping this when using a calculator for speed.

For a Year 4 multiplication task, showing carrying and borrowing steps in written work was inconsistent—answers were right but not always reproducible.

In several senior grades (Years 10–11), forgetting to write units or cube/square symbols led to confusion reviewing volume and area solutions later.

Recent Achievements

One Sandy Point tutor saw a big change in a Year 9 student who'd struggled to solve for x—she's now confidently merging like terms and working through equations with much less hesitation.

A Year 7 student who used to avoid tricky word problems is now identifying the right strategies just from reading the question, especially picking up on clue words like "difference" or "how much."

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who previously rushed through addition is finally using the carrying process correctly for harder sums, slowing down to double-check her work before moving on.

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 Panania Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Panania Public School.
