English Tutor Beacon Hill, NSW
To ensure a student can be tutored effectively, they have to feel open about discussing topics and concepts they do not understand well which can be daunting. Thus, by maintaining a friendly and welcoming personality and relationship as a tutor, students are able to be more open about their weaknesses, allowing for me to tailor myself to their…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is build their confidence. This is what will enable motivation and ultimately ensure the student can achieve the best possible outcome they can with their specific capabilities. It is also crucial for a tutor to create a comfortable environment for their student so that they feel they can ask…

Tutors are there to make sure students fully understand the subjects taught in their classes, whether this be to engage them with new work outside of the classroom, aid them with homework or just spark more enjoyment in the subject. My main strength would be my ability to teach with different perspectives, this being an ability to explain a…

English Tutor Newport, NSW
Above tutoring a student, I believe a tutor should be a role model; They should inspire a love for learning. Furthermore, the tutor should build a relationship to build trust so that the lessons don't seem forced and uncomfortable. I am organised, passionate, kind, caring, patient, friendly, personable, honest, reliable, hard-working and…

To give to the student not only the knowledge of how a task is completed or formula applied, but an understanding of the logic in why this is utilised or possible. The ability to apply mathematics to a situation through the correct understanding of what needs to be done and what knowledge can be used to accomplish that end, is more necessary and…

English Tutor North Turramurra, NSW
There are 2 things at the crux of what tutors should do for students. 1) Instilling confidence in themselves. A student will not learn if they are discouraged and apprehensive about their abilities - they need to feel supported and this can be done through praise and making 'light' of the task. 2) Equipping students with skills. The phrase "Method…

English Tutor Frenchs Forest, NSW
I think as a tutor one of the most important things we can do for a student is be a pillar of support to guide them and follow them on their learning journey. Instead of talking to students and feeding them information its important to talk WITH students as learning is a 2 way street and both student and teacher need to have input. Learning is…

English Tutor Dee Why, NSW
I think the most important thing for a tutor to do is to link the subject to individual student interest, as students (in my experience) have much better learning outcomes when they are engaged in the content and intrinsically motivated by some aspect of the question/subject. I think my strengths as a tutor is my ability to provide explanations…

I believe one of the things a tutor should find important is to help find coping mechanisms the students can use to ease their exam anxiety. As well as that I believe a tutor should work at the pace that best suits the student rather than the tutor. I believe that I am an outgoing, confident and kind person who can get along with all types of…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to show an understanding of their skill, and to adjust accordingly. I believe this is the key difference between a tutor and a teacher - the fact that a student is able to receive an undivided learning experience. Accordingly, the lesson plan should be delivered with an understanding of the…

A tutor's ultimate goal should be to increase an interest in that certain subject and learning overall. Tutors should also aim to push their students to their full potential with renewed sense of confidence. My best quality as a tutor is being understanding and patient with my students. I adapt and change teaching styles to best suit my student's…

Everything is going well. Frances is great.

Inside Terrey HillsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Viktoria focused on simplifying proper and improper fractions using shared whiteboard examples, and also practised calculating perimeter and area through independent worksheets and revision of missed homework questions.

Year 9 student Lachlan worked on factorising quadratic equations, grouping like terms, and used Desmos to visualise graphs for a better grasp of algebraic relationships between x and y.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Brandon revised simultaneous equations with X and Y intercepts, explored the quadratic formula, and discussed geometry concepts from recent test material.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 mathematics, one student repeatedly lost marks when questions required justification or a specific number of significant figures—he wrote, "solve" when the question demanded "evaluate," which cost him full credit in exam conditions.

In Year 11, illegible handwriting and incomplete working out meant that even correct logic was sometimes not credited: as noted, "handwriting is sometimes illegible—it is unhelpful and often times marked down because the examiner cannot read what you wrote."

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner's attention drifted during activities, making it difficult to sustain focus for more than ten minutes at a time; this shortened concentration led to tasks being left unfinished.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Terrey Hills noticed Brandon, a Year 11 student, who previously relied on hints for trigonometry and surds, now confidently tackles advanced GCSE-level papers independently—even choosing tougher questions without prompting.

In Year 8, Veronica used to overlook key details in word problems but has started highlighting keywords herself, which led her to complete all multiplication worksheets accurately under timed conditions.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student, Viktoria, who once hesitated with long division, surprised her tutor this week by working through multi-step division questions alone and finishing them before asking for any help.

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 Terrey Hills Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Terrey Hills Public School.
