Tutors help foreground the development of confidence in what lies within the mind of students that enhances their ability to express thoughts and opinion essential for adult life. A tutor also becomes a trustee of the student, whom insecurities are revealed, and therefore solutions can be found based on the bond created between the two. The…

A tutor should provide a safe space for the student, both academically and mentally. It is important that a tutor empathizes with the students and provide them vivid and interesting perspectives about the subjects which goes beyond school learning. Furthermore, it is needed that the tutor - student relationship be a team work, where the tutor is…

Personal relationships are foundational to student success -- the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor creates trust and respect, essential ingredients for students to learn well. I am an expert in Math and Programming and their academic content -- I know the subject's concepts, ideas and problems inside out. I…

Psychology Tutor Thornleigh, NSW
I believe the most important things in which a tutor can do for a student is to not only pass on their knowledge but to act as a positive influence for them to like the subject more or take more interest in studying particular subjects (so that they enjoy learning). I believe that my strengths as a tutor are that I genuinely enjoy teaching…

Show them that mistakes are a part of success (since some students see mistakes eg on test papers as a sign of hopelessness). Also, understanding the student's need and situation, this will give a better teacher-student interaction. Breaking down the concepts, ie giving examples that provide an explanation for the content Interpersonal and…

Psychology Tutor West Pennant Hills, NSW
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is enrich their learning experience so they can understand the importance of education, and the essential nature of honing their critical thinking skills. Tutoring should be taught to not be simply for academic success, but success as a communicator and thinker. I think I am…

Inside TurramurraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jack focused on consolidating subtraction and division, identifying these as areas for extra support while building confidence through arithmetic practice.

Year 10 Amy spent time reviewing a recent math test—clarifying mistakes in functions, probability, and integration—and then refined her comparative Module A English essay by strengthening structure and key paragraph elements.

For Year 11 student Lucas, the lesson centred on tackling probability trees and conditional probability before moving to advanced calculus concepts like interpreting first and second derivatives, using worked examples to target exam weaknesses.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Mathematics, one student tended to feel overwhelmed by multi-step trigonometry and geometric series problems, which led to difficulty expressing solutions algebraically.

A tutor observed, "She gets stuck when questions are wordy and can't always break them into manageable steps."

In Year 9 English, responses sometimes lacked flow and coherence between sentences within a paragraph, making arguments less persuasive under timed conditions.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student often left out working in division or fractions—resulting in repeated calculations when errors arose mid-solution. The result: time lost retracing steps instead of building confidence with new material.

Recent Achievements

One Turramurra tutor recently noticed a big change in a Year 11 student who had previously struggled with logarithms—this week, he not only understood and applied the laws of logs but also spotted and fixed his own errors without prompting.

Another high schooler who used to get stuck on function questions began connecting first and second derivatives to the original graph's behaviour, showing real independence in tackling integration as well.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student made the leap from guessing at word problems to confidently breaking them down and forming equations, finishing all his mental calculation tasks on his own.

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 Turramurra Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Northside Montessori School.
