Economics Tutor Mount Colah, NSW
I consider the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to ensure that the student fully understands the content being taught at their level. I think it can be quite easy for a tutor to rush or even skip the easy stuff in favour for the more interesting, harder content, which can leave a student lost and feeling inadequate. I think I…

Economics Tutor Gordon, NSW
Give them time and space. I believe these two aspects are the most important thing we can give students but understanding how to manage these two factors as a tutor we give the private space for them to develop as well as provide them with help when they require us. I am very patient and outgoing, therefore it is easy for students to ask me…

Economics Tutor Marsfield, NSW
As the saying goes, teach a man to fish and he will be able to support himself for a lifetime. A tutor’s most important role is to be able to do that for a student’s learning while also encouraging them to have fun and instill a sense of curiosity that will extend their learning to beyond the classroom. My belief in tutoring is that I always…

Economics Tutor Castle Hill, NSW
I think the most important something a tutor can do for a student when it comes to trying to teach them is, being close to them and on their level. That way, it is easier for the student to absorb information coming from you as it would feel like the information is coming from a friend and not someone who is greater than them or better than them…

Economics Tutor Killara, NSW
Helping them in a way that allows them to complete questions on their own, but also learn from the tutor. Ie, giving indicators on whether they are going right or wrong in a question and making them figure out where they messed up. My strengths as a tutor is being able to explain a concept really simply and getting the basic down so that it is…

To be able to understand that everyone learns in a different manner and being able to adapt the teaching method to best suit each student. It is also really important to create a comfortable environment wherer students feel okay to ask questions and make mistakes, because often, that is where the real learning happens I am a strong and clear…

The most important thing a tutor can do is entrenching in the student the right attitude and study habits, there is nothing more important than having the willingness to try harder after failure and studying effectively.

To motivate and inspire them to work their hardest and perservere with their difficult subjects even when they are struggling - also to teach each student in a specific way that works individually for them (I think it is important to treat every student differently so as to be most effective) Strenghts would include my patience and creativity in…

I believe it is vital that a student feels as though they have accomplished something at the end of each session and that there is a sense of progression felt for the student after each session. A tutor should be able to make the student work at a comfortable pace that does not stress them out or make them feel uncomfortable. Lastly, I believe a…

Inside ThornleighTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Tahlia focused on calculating percentage increase and decrease, including real-life applications like mark up, cost price, and discounts, completing extra questions from her test book for practice.

Year 9 student Malissa worked on simplifying algebraic expressions and revisited the topic of surface area with targeted review based on her recent test feedback.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Hayes practiced division with remainders and applied BODMAS rules to fraction problems, before touching on area calculations for squares, rectangles, and circles.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing for linear regression relied heavily on calculator methods without showing working, which made it harder to spot small errors or check understanding.

In a Year 8 English session, Ryan received feedback on his writing but did not act on it before the next lesson; as noted, he did not put the feedback into practice yet, so similar issues reappeared.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student sometimes mixed up units and tens columns in multiplication, leading to off-track answers. This meant time was spent correcting basics instead of advancing to new skills.

Recent Achievements

A Thornleigh tutor recently noticed a big shift in Tahlia, a high school student who used to hesitate when she got stuck—she's now actively asking questions and working through tricky algebra problems instead of giving up.

Another win came from Ashton, also in high school, who scored 93% on his term test after weeks of focused revision; he tackled log, trigonometry, and simultaneous equations confidently this time.

Meanwhile, Hayes in primary school showed real diligence by completing all his assigned maths problems before moving on to extra challenges during their session.

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 Pennant Hills Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Thornleigh West Public School.
