Teaching is something anyone can do but making sure the student starts to like the subject is a different thing. We should make the study process more fun that the students fall in love with studying. I believe that motivates them to keep going. For example, back in my school days during my lower grades I was not a huge fan of maths. I never liked…

Create a judgment-free environment where students feel safe to ask questions and make mistakes. Listen carefully to understand not just what a student is struggling with, but why they're struggling with it. Help build genuine understanding rather than just teaching test-taking strategies. And perhaps most importantly, help students develop their…

I believe the most crucial role of a tutor is to ensure that students have a clear understanding of the fundamental concepts of any topic. Once these basics are thoroughly understood, students can practice and build upon them independently. A tutor's structured approach and clarity in teaching are essential in laying this foundation.

I think understanding is the most important thing a tutor can be for their student. For example, if a tutor does not understand that the student struggles with certain topics, they may say negative things about their student. Secondly as a tutor, you need to understand that each student different and they each have their own methods that they…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is concentrate on their needs. The student already has teachers at school who teach the class broadly, irrespective of a particular student's strength or weaknesses. A tutor must listen to what the student struggles with, and assist them with that area. A tutor can also be the most encouraging…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach them how to think, not just what to think.

A great tutor sparks that curiosity, guiding students to make connections, challenge assumptions, and…

Well if you're like me, you've no doubt found some teachers who unfortunately, due to having to deal with maybe a hundred students, can't focus on one person's issues. Sometimes a student starts asking the question "why am I doing this", and it just goes unanswered. Well I've had the same struggle but I've also lived long enough to see the…

Inside UltimoTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Yash explored area and perimeter of triangles, along with multiplying and adding decimals and large numbers, finishing up with some long division for fluency.

In Year 10, Michelle focused on applying the perfect squares method to solve parabolas and used the discriminant to analyse tangent and secant scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ben worked through conditional probability problems using Venn diagrams and tackled non-linear relationships in algebraic contexts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student did not complete the assigned homework, which limited her confidence when facing new equation types—"she needed more practice to feel ready with the answers."

In Year 9, a student became stuck on lengthy worded problems, especially when unfamiliar vocabulary appeared; this slowed progress even if those words were not essential.

For a Year 4 learner, confusion between letters like 'b' and 'd' meant she relied heavily on an adult's help to get through reading tasks.

During algebra in Year 8, "he skipped steps while solving," causing hidden errors that required extra correction time mid-session.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Ultimo recently saw a Year 11 student who'd struggled with financial maths revisit her old exam errors—this time, she could solve those tricky problems independently after targeted practice.

A Year 9 student, who used to hesitate when stuck, now openly asks the tutor to repeat explanations if something's unclear and even volunteered to try extra word problems on her own.

In a primary session, one young learner began reading short passages aloud smoothly for the first time once promised regular breaks; before, she'd quietly avoid reading out loud at all.

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 Ultimo Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ultimo Public School.
