The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to plan ahead and to revise to ensure that the student is able to complete previously covered topics. My strengths as a tutor are my planning ability and improvisation which may be necessary if the student is behind on work or the parents change what they wish to focus…

Tutor Narraweena, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not only teach the material, but find a way to communicate it effectively. Learning is not only memorization but finding ways to understand and apply this knowledge. In my university course, as well as my experience with high school, we are taught to communicate our math and explain our…

Having both been the tutee and the tutor, I believe that it is imperative that a tutor is supportive of the student and caters their teaching to the student's specific needs. Tutoring is only truly effective when the student is completely engaged with the tutor and I believe that this can only happen when the student believes that they are in an…

I believe a tutor should always be reliable, punctual, patient, kind, and supportive - as this creates a safe learning environment for all students. I am newly graduated, meaning I still recall all the emotions and stresses of high school, and know the content and structure of various subjects extremely well. I excelled at my own school in English…

As a tutor, it is important that you pass on the right knowledge to the student. Make them think about things by themselves instead of giving them straight away. A tutor, shouldn't discourage students if they ask a dumb question, they should resolve all their queries with a good understanding. A tutor's job is to support a student and be curious…

One main thing I realised was important for a tutor is to not expect the student to learn/understand things in the exact same way you do. Being open to hearing how a student learns best and being able to vary the teaching style is vital. I think I am quite adaptable and can explain singular concepts in many different ways depending on which the…

A tutor should not just teach, but they should listen to their students, seek feedback and use that to improve their teaching. It is important to develop trust with students so that they feel comfortable asking questions, expressing their concerns and identifying topics that they may want to strengthen. In doing so, the tutor can gain a greater…

As mentioned in some of the earlier answers, I think that a tutor is not only there to impart their own knowledge, but also be there for the development of any responsibility or independence characteristics as students grow. This can include but is not limited to: confidence, tenacity, perseverance and the ability to bounce back against adversity…

I believe that a tutor should tailor their teaching to the student that they are teaching. This could involve motivating the student and getting them to enjoy the subject by for example giving them incentives to complete work by rewarding them with food or snacks. Communication is also highly important. A good tutor would discuss the student's…

I believe the most important asset a tutor can have is the ability to listen.

It is crucial that the tutor listens to and understands the students needs and…

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.
