I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to guide the student rather than simply tell them what to do. Especially in subjects like maths, I think it is the theory behind every topic that is most important and is something that I would make sure the student fully understands before jumping into exercises. That way, when it…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to ensure that everything you cover is understood completely. As a private tutor for a HSC question I believe that me finding specific questions for each topic which I believe are unique are important in ensuring that my students are comfortable with a range of question types. I…

I think a tutor should provide a fun, engaging and different approach to studying. A tutor should ask questions in a way a teacher hasn't got the time to do. They should always ask what the student wants and implement strategies as to how to attain these goals. But, perhaps at the forefront of responsibility, a tutor should always make sure the…

To be there for a student in a more personal and approachable way than the modern education system and its teachers can be, to help 'fill in the gaps' that the student may have missed in class and to be there for the student if they feel like the education system has failed them. Too many schools focus on the groups needs rather than the…

Tutors also help students stay focused and disciplined while out of school. So, it gives the necessary direction that every student requires.…

Make them feel at ease and completely supported, be gentle and caring and show incredibly strong belief in them.

An effective tutor can make a student feel more confident and engaged with the learning process. They can make students excited to learn new concepts and to challenge themselves, rather than shying away from these challenges. Marks can be important, particularly for older students, and are a tangible outcome for students to measure their…

A good tutor needs to have a variety of qualities in order to bring out the best in a student. Tutors need to be able to personalize learning, no two students learn the same and as such it would be incorrect to assume that the same teaching strategy will work for every student. Tutors should also not simply teach content to students, they need to…

Local Reviews

The initial session went well with my grandson and the tutor Ovin was very helpful and informative with my grandson.

Inside ThirroulTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Max worked through solving simultaneous equations and applied the quadratic formula to tackle quadratic word problems.

In Year 10, Chloe focused on logarithms and practiced sketching graphs by hand for visual understanding.

For a younger learner in Year 4, Remi covered multiplication and division basics along with calendar and time questions as part of his homework review.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student repeatedly mixed up pronumerals in algebra, assuming they matched previous questions—"attention to detail, especially to the pronumerals," noted one tutor—which led to errors that weren't spotted until late in working.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 learner lost track of earlier content after shifting to new topics, making revision for exams difficult and leading to confusion during more complex factorisation.

In Year 7 English, reluctance to complete homework became clear when a student dodged accountability at lesson's end.

For a younger primary student, not showing written working in maths hid mistakes with subtraction and delayed progress on arithmetic foundations.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Thirroul recently noticed some big changes: one Year 11 student who used to get stuck on simultaneous equations is now choosing between elimination and substitution confidently, even explaining her reasoning aloud.

In Year 8, a student who once guessed at where he went wrong now pauses to check his work, then solves similar questions correctly without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student who felt embarrassed about using finger counting has started doing it openly and with pride—he's flying through perimeter problems that were tricky before and finished all his area questions 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 Thirroul Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Michael's Catholic Primary School.
