As mentioned earlier, to help them reach that "aha!" moment. Teaching is a 2 way street; if only the tutor keeps on talking then there wont be any meaningful session. Hence, encourage active participation is one of the important things a tutor can do for a student. 1. Explaining complicated (and even easy) concepts in a very intuitive manner 2. I…

The most important thing according to me is to just be there for the student, make them feel comfortable so they have no issues to ever come back to you for any clarifications. My strengths are that I am very focused when it comes to work. Another advantage is the fact that I'm quite good with kids so I'll be able to work with them in an…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is make themselves obsolete.My goal isn’t just to help them pass the next exam, but to help them build the confidence and study habits to learn on their own. A tutor should provide a psychologically safe environment where it’s okay to say ‘I don’t know’ or make mistakes without judgment.…

I think the most important thing a tutor can and should do for a tutee is to prepare content according to their needs and preferences when learning. This is done through thorough preparation before each session, communicating with either the student or parent to understand what the student wishes to learn or practice during upcoming sessions,…

I think listening and guiding student learning is one of the most important aspects of being a tutor. While tutors cannot overstep into the student's personal life to a great extent, students will also have worries, and for the tutor to be able to actively listen and help with some aspects of life is important. I think this comes with forming a…

Be someone they can be comfortable with and understanding. I think if students are encouraged to ask questions and the tutor is patient with them, they won’t feel scared and they’ll be more transparent with how well they understand the topic. I also realised that when a tutor respects the students, the student will honour the tutors more as…

Reapproach. If a specific angle of teaching isn't working, it is not the fault of the student. It is the job of the tutor to reconsider alternative angles so that the student understands.

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.
