A tutor should boost the confidence of the student and being a tutor shouldn't be limited to only improving the students' results. They should be the most approachable person, after the parents, should the student face any issues with school or even life. A tutor should be the student's best friend and the bond should grow while nurturing the…

I believe the most benefical things a tutor can do for a student is to foster comprehension, build confidence and encourage independent thinking. Even though it is important to help a student comprehend the topic, it is equally important that we make a comfortable environment for them to make mistakes, learn from them, ask even slighest of doubts.…

First, I think a tutor should have good subject and curriculum knowledge so that they may be able to provide as much information as they can towards the kids. I think communication skills is another important thing a tutor must have (the way they explain the topics so that it is easy for the students to understand). Finally a tutor must be patient…

According to my experience of tutoring high school students, the biggest challenge that students could face is the psychology in their mind which tells them they are not capable of doing that particular subject.

Guidance is the most important thing. First, I would show the student how to solve the question. After that, I will guide them to solve one or two questions and let them have a try after that to make sure the student can fully understand the procedure and solve the question on their own. Of course, I will encourage them to ask the question if they…

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.
