Understand the feelings and character of different students. Some students who tutor may be gifted, however there are many also who may are demotivated and have a low-self esteem which causes them to believe they aren't good enough to excel. I believe tutors should change the perspective from studying from an extrinsic desire, for instance, marks…

I believe one of the most important things an english tutor can do is build trust and genuine connection. When a student feels safe, included, and respected, they're far more willing to take risks, make mistakes, and engage with learning. Once trust is established, it becomes much easier to support them, challenge them appropriately, and celebrate…

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.
