Always know what students need and what's their priority. This means a tutor need to show respect to students. They need to know very well about the students and are wise and knowledgable enough to give good advice and make sure students love listening to the advice. I love to solve questions. If I could make complicated things into easy ones, I'd…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make them want to study a topic, to present a topic in a certain way that makes the student more enthusiastic to learn. Although understanding a subject is extremely important, I believe the students' willingness to learn is equally important as trying to teach a student to…

It is very important as a tutor to understand your student. Be his silent friend and connect with him. Read his mental abilities, his interest, observe his qualities and disabilities, his way of learning things. And then try to impart the teaching depending on all these factors. Each student is different and so is the method of teaching. Teaching…

A tutor can be a guiding light for students. Each student has their own way of absorbing the information that they are taught. This might not always be available to students in a large classroom setting. A good tutor recognizes the strengths and weaknesses of the students and guides them accordingly. I spent most of my adult life abroad as a…

Become students’ friends so you can lead the children to the book, most students don’t want study because the teacher is too strict and always pushing them, if the tutor can become their friends, they can lead the student to study voluntary.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to get a proper understanding of the level of mathematical 'maturity' of a specific student, rather than just assuming a certain background knowledge. Once this is established, it's possible to get the core of what exactly a student is struggling with (usually a particular fundamental concept) and…

The most important thing a tutor can do is focus on the specific needs of the student, identify areas of weakness, and tailor the teaching approach accordingly.

I believe that listening to the student is among the most important things a tutor can do.

Local Reviews

Looking for a maths tutor for year 10
Kumari Jiju, Woodville North

Inside St ClairTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Lily focused on algebraic expansion and factorisation, working through practice problems to strengthen her understanding.

For Year 10, James tackled trigonometry, including the use of sine, cosine, and tangent ratios in circle geometry, and practiced applying these using diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah reviewed financial mathematics concepts such as simple and compound interest alongside annuities calculations to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, one student relied heavily on mental calculations—"too much mental maths; she needs to learn to write out each step as she goes to avoid being confused"—which led to missed minus signs and muddled working.

For a Year 11 preparing for exams, homework was left incomplete before class, reducing productivity during sessions and limiting the depth of feedback possible.

In Year 4, time was lost when a student admitted not practicing assigned work at all that week, which made catching up harder in-session.

Across levels, some students avoided writing steps or did not attempt questions in advance; this resulted in slower progress and less confidence during challenging tasks.

Recent Achievements

One St Clair tutor noted a Year 9 student who, after weeks of hesitating to show her working, now talks through each problem out loud and writes every step logically—she's catching more errors herself instead of waiting for prompts.

In Year 11 maths, a student who struggled with SOHCAHTOA triangles last term is now tackling complex angles of depression word problems independently and checks her answers for accuracy.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner recently started reading times off an analogue clock with no help—something she'd always needed hints for—and completed the set of practice questions without any mistakes.

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 Civic Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Woodville High School.
