I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for their student is remaining patient and continue to persevere with the content. In my experience, if I didn't understand a concept or was struggling with a question, it was extremely helpful when my tutor continued to talk me through the topic and didn't get frustrated at me for not…

A tutor has to be patient and welcoming for their students. The reason these students come for tutoring is because they face difficulty keeping up with school. So they should be given the space to understand at their own pace, in their own method and a teacher needs to recognize that. We need to recognize the method which we choose to teach a…

I think that a tutor must be patient and remain composed with each student.

I have (as told to me by all my ever-suffering associates) a 'wild' vocabulary, and for English…

Understanding and sociability are the most important traits for a tutor. The tutor needs to be attentive so they can understand the best approach to help a student with their work.

Inside Surrey DownsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Jack focused on fraction operations—multiplying, dividing, adding and subtracting fractions—as well as factorising basic algebraic expressions.

Year 9 student Olivia practised applying the area of a triangle formula to worded problems and built confidence using function notation, linking both to her physics formulas for an upcoming test.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Emily worked through transformations of functions and received guidance with her investigation task by breaking down each step visually.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student often second-guessed her answers and hesitated to ask for clarification in algebra, which led to avoidable confusion—"she still second guesses herself occasionally," one tutor noted.

In Year 11 Biology, a student showed reluctance to voice questions about feedback loops, missing key points during discussions.

For a Year 7 maths task on linear patterns, the layout of working was messy and made errors harder to spot; "the way he sets out his working is a little hard to follow."

Meanwhile, a primary student avoided tackling nonstandard word problems, skipping those that felt too challenging.

Recent Achievements

One Surrey Downs tutor noted a Year 10 student who used to second-guess her answers is now trusting her instincts and checking her work more often, even taking the initiative to complete extra homework outside school.

Another high schooler, initially shy in physics sessions, started asking questions independently and celebrated a strong test result that really boosted her motivation.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who was hesitant about reading aloud now self-corrects spelling mistakes and read an entire chapter of The Faraway Tree during their session without prompting.

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 City of Tea Tree Gully Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Surrey Downs Primary School.
