Ancient History Tutor The Ponds, NSW
Encouraging them and reminding them that their school marks are not what entirely defines them as a good student. On top of providing them with academic support and guidance that they can apply to other fields. For instance, how to structure an exemplar essay or simply how to construct a study timetable. Finding unique ways to interpret notes and…

Developing a friendship with the student. A friendship makes both feel more comfortable in the work they are doing as many aspects with be easier to handle as you have likely mastered communication with each other. For the student it will also give the subject more interest and therefore more confidence in learning it. I believe my strength will…

To be attentive and to address the students personal needs for growth. The tutor should set an ideal example in terms of behaviour motivation and actions- one which a student should be able to look up to but also resonate with. This allows him to engage with the student at a personal level and provide better more relatable academic support, but…

It is critical the tutor develops an environment that makes the student feel comfortable to ask any and all questions they have as this will allow…

The most important thing is to make them our friends so that they can share their difficulties with us. Secondly, a tutor should use creative techniques to make concepts easy to understand. I think that i can make things easy for students to learn. I use innovative ideas to make their study interesting so that they find it more easy to understand…

Make them feel confident in their abilities is definitely the most significant. Providing them with the skills to not only pass the exam or assessment but give them the ability to progress through school and further confidently.

A tutor should provide guidance and assistance at all costs for the student they are teaching. It is the tutors responsibility to do the best they can in order to help the student reach their potential. A tutor should sometimes take a step further to care for the student and a lot of the times the student will reciprocate your effort to create a…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is harness empathy, patience, and and understand the needs of that student. The curriculum may be straightforward but every individual have their own way of absorbing information and learning. It is important to keep the student engaged in the lesson and a tutor must also have the…

Inside The PondsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jayden practised 2-digit by 2-digit multiplication and long division, using step-by-step worked examples.

In Year 8, Emily reviewed Pythagoras' theorem basics and solved questions on algebra, clarifying any tricky school topics along the way.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Arjun focused on trigonometry and functions, tackling exercises to build confidence with key formulas and their application.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student in mathematics relied heavily on mental calculations for times tables, often avoiding written working—"as a tutor noted, 'he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors.'" This led to repeated mistakes and made error tracing difficult.

In Year 11 exam prep, one student struggled with revising unfamiliar or integrated question formats, tending to stick to familiar problem types rather than practicing a variety.

Meanwhile, a primary student hesitated to attempt complex analogue time questions, preferring digital ones instead.

When faced with worded problems, another high schooler missed key details by not underlining instructions; confusion followed when extra steps were needed.

Recent Achievements

In The Ponds, Erica, a Year 10 student, has moved from waiting for hints to independently working through challenging financial math questions. She is now even choosing different solution methods on her own.

Stephanie, in Year 8, used to hesitate with algebra but is now tackling congruency tests for triangles and negative numbers without prompting. She's started showing all her working out instead of skipping steps.

Meanwhile, Damien in Year 4 switched from guessing multiplication answers to practising his times tables daily. He can now handle double-digit addition questions by himself without any 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 Stanhope Garden Library/ Dennis Johnson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Riverbank Public School.
