I think the most important thing is to recognise the child's unique strengths and weaknesses and build from there. Making sure to communicate well and simplify topics so that they can feel confident and be approachable, so they ask lots of questions. I think my strengths as a tutor is being able to break down difficult concepts into smaller chunks…

The three most important things a tutor can do include giving clear directions, boosting confidence, and encouraging a growth mindset. A tutor's job includes more than just helping students with their schoolwork. It also includes helping them learn the skills they need to learn independently. A tutor can help students understand a topic better by…

From my experience, the desire to learn and succeed must come from within, but once that feeling is there it is the tutor's responsibility to cultivate and grow this passion and to translate it into continuous improvement. Hence, one of the most important things that a tutor can do is understand the student's needs and to meet those needs in a…

Make a connection so the student wants to study.

I believe this heavily aligns with the philosophy that Ezy math promotes. I’m a patient and capable teacher who…

In my opinion, a tutor has to be able to communicate effectively with a student. There is a clear difference between having knowledge and actually being able to teach a particular field of study. It is absolutely vital that a tutor speaks to a student in a way that is easily understood by the student but at the same time also engaging. This way of…

I think it's to guide the student and improve their understanding and engagement at school.

I believe that a tutor should be able to impart confidence and self sufficiency into the student. Although gaining new knowledge is an integral part of learning, I believe that a student with confidence and self sufficiency would go further in their learning as well as other aspects of their daily lives if they were taught how to learn. They would…

I would find that the ability to diversify how you communicate with a range of students is highly important. This is due to the differing ways that each student learns and providing an individualised structure will benefit their learning capability. I find that a student who fails to connect with a tutor will not see an improvement in their grades…

As someone who has had tutors in the past; I can say with confidence that a tutor allows the student to catch up on what they didn’t understand in school the first time.

Inside Southern RiverTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student James reviewed the Cartesian plane and tackled algebraic concepts, including plotting points and working with linear equations.

In Year 6, Olivia focused on identifying rules in number sequences and practiced dividing fractions, with extra attention to converting between measurement units.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Sarah strengthened her understanding of operations with fractions and place value, then briefly explored Roman numerals and multiplication strategies for numbers ending in zero.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Mathematics, a student left the semester review homework incomplete and showed hesitancy when tackling short answer questions, with one tutor noting, "homework: complete semester review (short answers)." This led to less exposure to unfamiliar question types and reduced feedback opportunities.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student struggled with organisation—forgetting to submit word class homework on nouns, adjectives, and verbs.

In senior maths sessions (Year 11), skipping written steps during algebraic simplification made sign errors harder to spot; as observed: "needs more practice with dealing with negative/minus signs when solving problems." Missed steps lingered into later revision.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Southern River noticed a Year 10 student who had struggled with fractions is now completing worksheets on decimals independently and shows much more ease tackling new arithmetic topics.

In Year 11 maths, one student recently started asking clarifying questions about solving for area until each step made sense—a big shift from staying silent when confused.

Another win came from a Year 7 English session where the student, previously unsure about comprehension questions, began identifying exactly what each question was asking and could answer with far less prompting than before. Last week, she asked the tutor for a tougher reading passage.

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 Amherst Village Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Southern Grove Primary School.
