The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to cater their teaching towards the student, and to help them implement good study skills. One of these skills I find important is consistency, so as a tutor I would try to implement consistency not only in our lessons but in their study behaviours. My strengths as a tutor includes my…

I think that a very important aspect of tutoring is the individual attention that it provides the student with, which would not always be possible in a school setting. As tutors work closely with the student, they are also aware of the student's thinking style and capacities, and can therefore tailor their own teaching style. Furthermore, most…

The most important thing a tutor can do is really to distribute their knowledge about the content they are tutoring. It involves setting them up for the final exams by providing them with assistance in areas where they are not confident in terms of content. This includes providing resources such as unlimited past papers, notes, tips, and feedback…

That the tutor will allocate time in a session to to talk about what the student is struggling in and hopefully be able to offer advice and potentially resolve the problem.

There are multiple things considered important for a tutor to do for a student. For example, a tutor must demonstrate to the student their individual skills, whilst allowing the student to further develop those skills and enhance their thinking. A tutor must cooperate with the student in pin pointing their lack in certain skills and concepts in…

The most important thing a tutor can do for his or her student is to be patient. Often tutors can cover content or explain concepts very quickly in an attempt to meet time constraints but this will not be beneficial for the student as they will not understand or learn thoroughly. It is important for tutors to take time to patiently and logically…

At the same time, a tutor must encourage the student to put in the work to succeed in the subject by instilling a love for the subject within student.

The most important thing for a tutor is to not feed the student to information but to guide them as they learn. It's to teach the students how to learn independently and invoke within them a passion and a want for more learning and knowledge. To show students that studying is not a chore but a tool and a privilege that they can use. As a young…

It's the capacity to come up with new approaches to assist your kids in learning. Students learn in different ways and at varying speeds. As a student, I expect my teachers to explain things in a way that I can grasp. Unlike my university instructors, who simply read the slides and call it a class. NO! I don't teach that manner, and I don't…

Patience allows students to learn at their own pace, and trust ensures they…

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.
