A good tutor will try to minimize a student's weaknesses and enhance the student's strengths and skills ultimately resulting in her or his success and growth. Some of my strengths achieved through 9 years of experience in teaching so many different types of students are: positivity, patience, technical knowledge, active listening and good…

Successful tutor should build strong relationships with his/her student. The learning process should be personalized and properly adapted for the student. Good tutor listens and communicates early and often with parents. My strength lies in listening and empathising. I have gained experience in many interesting companies as well and I do know that…

Understand what's causing the confusion relating to a certain concept or formula and then explain accordingly. Things that my tutors did that helped me was that they did a question first which gave me a path to follow in terms of solving questions. So solving a problem before giving it to the students and removing any sources of confusion. I can…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student is provide them the information which is accurate, and present it in a manner that they will love learning and explore their abilities. A teacher plays a role of a mentor or professional parent in student's life and can shape their career by providing valuable information in…

The best thing a tutor can do is create a safe place, without any shame or fear of failure. They should guide the stufent, and help them truly understand the concepts or main ideas behind any topic that they learn.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach them how to think, not just what to think. While knowledge is valuable, the ability to question, analyze, and approach problems with curiosity lasts far beyond any single lesson. A great tutor sparks that curiosity, guiding students to make connections, challenge assumptions, and…

A tutor should be able to communicate effectively with the unique personality of a student, in order to create a personalised program or plan of attack for their student to both understand harder concepts and take in heavier loads of information easier. As every student learns in a different manner, a tutor should tailor their communication and…

The role of a tutor is to support the student in revisiting or deepening notions seen in class but which he or she may be struggling with. Tutors need to adapt to the student's way of learning, and teach with passion to keep them interested. They must be able to explain clearly and propose appropriate exercises to ensure effective progress. They…

Patience, as everyone is different, it takes different time for each person to grasp the concept fully.

Make students feel comfortable. As someone who had a lot of trouble finding tutors throughout middle school and high school, teaching in a way the student can enjoy and connect to is really important, and can be the difference between seeing a subject as "the worst" to actually having fun.

I think the most important thing to understand as a tutor is that different students think differently. Certain students will naturally have more or less affinity to different subjects, but also different ways of learning. Trying to figure out which way to best teach requires understanding which way students are best able to learn. For instance,…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is not just teach them their lessons - but also teach them better study habits. This will ensure that the students may learn to study on their own without the help of a tutor all the time, and that they may be able to grow as an individual prepared for bigger challenges (such as uni,…

Creating a supportive and comfortable environment is perhaps the most crucial thing a tutor can do for a student. When students feel safe and at ease, they are more likely to open up about their difficulties and ask questions without fear of judgment. This openness allows the tutor to better understand where the student is struggling and tailor…

You must be adaptable, and change according to how each student acts since every individual is very distinct, this will help cater to their differences (such as learning speed). Must also remember to leave no one student behind and pick them up when they fail, help them learn from their mistakes. I am very considerate and patient, thus able to…

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.
