For me, the most important thing that a tutor can do is to develop students' confidence and ability in their studies. By working with a student personally by meeting them where they are at in their abilities, a student's academic confidence can grow as they are able to focus on areas of their work that they specifically struggle with. I think this…

I consider that the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to make them feel confident going to class every day and not feel that they are behind their class as well as look forward to an exam to share all of their knowledge with the markers rather than dread an exam, also reducing their stress and encouraging them to enjoy school.…

The most important thing in my opinion is to not only be able to guide students to the correct answer, but also make them feel accomplished and enjoy the process of knowing nothing to all the knowledge they need in school. At the same time, a tutor have to be respectful at all times. Some of my strengths as a tutor are that I am great with…

A tutor should not only help students improve their academic skills but also encourage independent thinking and problem-solving. It's important to build their confidence, create a safe space for them to ask questions, and provide strategies that help them become more self-sufficient learners. My strengths include patience, adaptability, and the…

One of the most important thing a tutor can do for a student, is not only make the subject fun and easier to understand but to make the student believe in himself/herself. Most of the students, do not feel very confident in their own understanding of the subject and hesitate to participate in class discussions. I believe by making the student…

Teach obviously! but i think if the tutor can make the lessons as fun as possible so that the student looks forward to them as something enjoyable rather than as purely work, the best results will occur.

Inside St PaulsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student William worked through travel graphs and measures of central tendency in the Data topic, then tackled linear equations and Pythagoras' theorem using real-world problems.

For Year 8, Paolo focused on advanced algebra skills including collecting like terms and factorising expressions, alongside practice with perfect square formulas.

Another Year 8 student revised rates and ratios, applying these to exam-style questions, and completed challenging surface area problems for composite solids.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student was hesitant to structure written responses in maths, which led to confusion mid-question and second-guessing of chosen methods—"he needs to take a moment before answering the question."

In Year 11, a student left some homework incomplete or skipped unfamiliar questions, especially when magic squares or negative coefficients appeared; this meant gaps in understanding persisted between lessons.

A Year 4 learner often got distracted by drawing instead of focusing on set problems, requiring frequent redirection.

Meanwhile, a senior biology student showed hesitancy asking questions and reviewing errors after feedback, sometimes missing opportunities for deeper revision.

Recent Achievements

One St Pauls tutor noticed a big change in a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask questions; now, he's actively bringing his own challenging problems to sessions and breaking them down step by step.

A Year 8 student recently made a breakthrough with algebra—after struggling last term, she corrected her own mistakes during practice and moved on to harder equations without prompting.

In primary school, one student who used to rush through maths tasks is now pausing before answering, taking time to plan out his responses more thoughtfully than before.

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 Randwick Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Marcellin College.
