Working with students can be a challenge, especially if we're meeting to help them bring up low grades. One thing I do when I meet the student for the very first time is to ask them questions about their interests, like sports, school subjects, music and movies. In the math problems that I create, I incorporate references to these interests. It…

The most important thing an english tutor could probably do is to make the process of learning an enjoyable experience, and engaging the student constantly to form their own thoughts and ideas. A positive mindset to learning is the pivot to academic progress, and without enjoyment students will reach a mental plateau. High engagement with students…

I think the biggest thing an english tutor can do for a student is provide confidence. With confidence a student can approach a subject with understanding but also take risks and experiment and question the subject which leads to a better understanding and ultimately a passion for the topic. I share a passion for learning and try to pass that…

One of the most important things an english tutor can do is to support the student providing them confidence to tackle the task in front of them.

Teaching that not knowing the answer to the question…

I think an english tutor can most importantly help a student with the concepts that they are struggling with in school and also helping students learn concepts that their school hasn't gone through yet so that once they do, it'll be revision for them rather than learning it for the first time. This particularly helped me when I was doing my HSC.…

Inside South HurstvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Andy worked on De Moivre's theorem and roots of unity, along with exploring complex loci using visual representations;

Year 11 student Mia practised converting complex numbers between exponential, polar, and Cartesian forms, as well as reviewing key terminology in the topic;

meanwhile, Year 7 student Lucas focused on revising linear equations and was introduced to quadratic expansion through targeted exercises on factorisation.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often halted when answers weren't immediate, hesitating instead of working through problems—a tutor noted, "practise with exercises, do not stop and give up if answer is not immediately obvious."

In Year 11 Physics, another leaned heavily on memorised formulas rather than building understanding through proofs or practical application.

During Year 12 exam revision, one student avoided attempting unfamiliar extension questions without solutions to guide them.

These patterns meant deeper concepts were sometimes missed and resilience during challenging tasks didn't fully develop—leaving moments of uncertainty when facing complex or open-ended problems in assessments.

Recent Achievements

One South Hurstville tutor noticed a big change in a Year 11 student who used to quietly guess at integration questions; now, he actively spots which parts of the problem need substitution and asks clarifying questions instead of waiting for hints.

Another high schooler, Lachlan, recently started connecting algebraic techniques from complex numbers to new topics—he managed to convert between different forms of vectors on his own after struggling last term.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student made a leap by not just recalling multiplication facts but independently tackling the first steps of long division without prompting.

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 South Hurstville—or at your child's school (with permission), like Marist Catholic College Penshurst - South Hurstville Campus.
