Advaith
Tutor Ourimbah, NSW
A tutor in my perspective must be flexible and must be willing to offer any form of support, I.e. helping solve problems, explain concepts in detail, clear misconceptions, etc. Also it is important always maintains a positive attitude and encourages students to learn more.

Joshua
Tutor Warnervale, NSW
A tutor must be able to reinforce the foundational theories and concepts taught in school and from there guide their student through the ways in which this information can connect to a wide range of questions. Exposure to a myriad of problems improves a student's ability to recognise how their own knowledge connects to a solution and thus their…

By first giving the student the necessary skills to complete a range of questions this equips them with the tools to complete any question. I then allow the student to make the mistake first and learn from it by helping them change what they did. This is then followed up with an example response to a question then the student is given the chance…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to understand the needs of their student and develop effective resources that work for THAT student. It is also important to recognise what kind of work load people are capable of handling so that you do not overwhelm them with tasks, as this would be counterproductive. So I guess, just…

The most important thing I can do for a student is to be patient. Patience is key in facilitating the process of learning as it removes the anxiety inducing pressure of expectation and allows the student to solely focus on the content at hand. Patience also allows the student to rationalise concepts at their own pace. This has the effect of deeply…

Building a proper connection with the student in order to get them to trust and listen to you is inarguably the most important thing a tutor can do for a student.

I think that as a tutor you must listen to what your student needs and give that to them.

As I just left school in 2021 I have a good understanding of the pressures and…

Support and patience. Trying to force too many things at once can only frustrate somebody attempting to better themselves, following a pace the student is best learning at is crucial.

Inside TuggerahTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 6 student Jayden worked through calculating speed, time and distance as well as rearranging formulas using practical examples.
For Year 8, Ruby focused on rearranging equations and tackling indices alongside adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying fractions.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ethan practised graphing directly proportional relationships and explored the use of simultaneous equations to solve algebraic problems.
Recent Challenges
In Year 9 mathematics, one student frequently confused indices with multiplication and struggled to retain key steps after practice—"he tends to forget the steps after eagerly doing them." Written work was sometimes unclear, making errors harder to spot.
For a Year 11 algebra session, notes highlighted that modules were left incomplete before tutoring, limiting revision time for upcoming tests.
Meanwhile, in upper primary maths, forgetting to complete assigned homework on fractions meant less progress during sessions.
During a senior session on simultaneous equations, missed opportunities to act on tutor feedback led to repeated mistakes rather than deeper understanding.
Recent Achievements
A tutor in Tuggerah noticed a big shift with one high school student who used to get frustrated by mistakes, but now works through tough algebra without giving up—he even cleaned up his factorisation and takes real pride in showing his working.
Another high schooler, Frankie, has started making up her own maths examples and openly asks questions whenever unsure, instead of sitting quietly as she did before.
In primary sessions, Ruby recently surprised her tutor by using what she'd learned about higher times tables to figure out new ones on her own and then explained how division is the opposite of multiplication.
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 Tuggerah Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Peter's Catholic College.
