Personally, i believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make them feel comfortable. Students that don\'t feel comfortable won\'t learn as effectively, may try to miss sessions or will cancel there sessions. After the tutor has made the student feel comfortable, then the next most important step is finding out there…

The most important thing that tutors should and can do for a student is to assess their current level, create a goal and guide them towards that level. Having patience while students work through and learn, as well as challenging them with new questions are an important role for tutors. I think my strengths as a tutor is patience and gentleness so…

While I believe it is obviously important to help a student learn and understand their chosen subject, it is also important to support and encourage confidence in a student. I found during my schooling years that the subjects I most succeeded in were ones where my teachers were kind and encouraging - it allowed me to feel comfortable to ask…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make sure a student can fully understand topics that have previously been difficult. I do not think it is not enough for a tutor to simply talk through the topic with the student and expect them to understand it. A tutor should explain the topic to the student and then, after more study…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student would be to assist them with their studies and be a part of their learning journey. In addition, it would be to show understanding and respect for the student and acknowledge that every student has potential but they might just need a little bit of help along the way. I think that my strengths…

Generally, a tutor can assist students with deeply understanding learning subjects to help them to catch up with their education curriculum. In particular, among other things: - Help students to understand concepts that they do not quite understand while learning at school - Support them in doing homework, assignments, and other learning…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to not only help them understand and get better at the content but also to help them gain confidence in their learning.

A tutor should be able to consider the wants and needs of the student, as well as keeping a steadily growing pace in terms of learning content. If a student is lacking in a specific area, the tutor should be able to recognise that and determine or formulate content plans to help mitigate that. I believe any and every student should learn and…

The most important that a tutor can do for a student is to be the best friend of that student. It is crucial to remember that there are many other aspects to that student than just academic.

I do not want to give them the answers,…

Inside SumnerTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Lucas tackled binomial probability and discrete random variables, focusing on applications to real-world scenarios and confidence intervals.

For Year 11, Emma practiced integration by substitution and solved problems involving probability density functions, including finding the equation of a function and calculating probabilities.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Alex worked through differentiation of natural logarithms using the chain rule and applied the log change of base formula while rearranging exponential equations for assignments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student was asked to write out every calculation but often defaulted to mental maths—"needs to not do it in his head"—which led to missing steps, especially in algebra.

In Year 11 Chemistry, homework was left incomplete, making it difficult to reinforce new concepts like distinguishing alcohols from carboxylic acids or correctly drawing esters.

One Year 12 Maths student struggled with organizing written work for problem-solving tasks; as a tutor noted, "needs to improve communication and setting out of certain questions (chain rule)," which resulted in unclear justifications during test reviews and lost marks on multi-step solutions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Sumner noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to correct her mistakes now actively reviews her working and pinpoints where she's gone wrong, particularly during binomial probability tasks.

In another session, a Year 9 student who struggled with setting up diagrams for trigonometry questions began drawing them independently, which let him tackle worded problems with less prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student has moved from guessing ratios to confidently dividing by 10, 100, and 1000 and checking his answers before moving on—he finished all the practice division problems without needing hints.

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 Mount Ommaney Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Jamboree Heights State School.
