A tutor should have good listening skills so that they will better understand students' misconceptions and struggles. It is important to treat each student and how you go about emphasising the content to the students uniquely. A good tutor should aim to be relatable and open to share own experiences with learning and highlight that it isn't an…

An important aspect of tutoring is not hindering the student's creativity. I believe every student has a different learning style.

Inside TelopeaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Max worked through equations in maths and also practised creative writing, targeting both numeracy and literacy skills.

For Year 11, Anna focused on mastering the Trapezoidal Rule and applying it to exam-style integration questions.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Eric reviewed challenging probability concepts—specifically mutually exclusive and dependent events—while tackling tough questions from past trial papers for targeted exam revision.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, a student hesitated to attempt exam-style algebra problems independently and struggled to organize notes across lessons—"reluctant at organizing his notes," as noted—which left key methods unpracticed and concepts scattered.

A Year 9 learner missed several weeks of homework, resulting in gaps when solving quadratic equations or applying trigonometry during quizzes.

In Year 7 English, one student rarely used feedback to improve creative writing structure, sticking to familiar techniques rather than experimenting with new ones.

Meanwhile, a primary student's messy working for fractions led to miscalculations and confusion about which steps were correct on her worksheet.

Recent Achievements

One Telopea tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to speak up is now actively asking for advice on study schedules and linking maths topics like financial maths with ratios, showing real initiative.

A Year 9 student had been slow to pick up algebraic techniques, but after consistent practice, he can now recognise question types independently and suggest which areas he needs to review next lesson.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to rush through word problems learned to pause and decide strategy before working them out—she completed her latest set without needing reminders.

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 Dundas Valley Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Telopea Public School.
