Tutor Valentine, NSW
I think it is important to create a casual, comfortable learning space for students where they feel comfortable talking to me as another student rather than a teacher. I feel this benefits them by not feeling that they are in a classroom, but rather simply discussing topics of difficulty with a colleague or mentor, ultimately increasing enthusiasm…

The most important thing by far is engagement. Tutoring is good, although it can only do so much if the students interest is elsewhere. The best thing a tutor can do is help the student engage more in school as the student will spend 80% of their time in the classroom and 20% with a tutor so using that 80% to your advantage is the most important…

Helping a student to enjoy a subject, or at the very least succeed, is a major thing to help them through school. Everyone has different needs, and a tutor helps accommodate those needs in an efficient way. Inspiration can go a long way, and improving their enjoyment of a subject may set them up for a future they love. When I tutored my friends in…

I think fostering curiosity and confidence are the most important things a tutor can do for a student. Technical knowledge is obviously extremely important, however, I think building solid study foundations is something a student will carry with them for the rest of their lives. As a current university student, I understand the frustration that…

Eventually get them to a level where they become self-sufficient and confident in their abilities to teach themselves as well as think for themselves. These are skills that will be required when going to university as often (in my experience) you cannot have the professor/tutor sit down with you and go through concepts you didn't comprehend. These…

Based on my experience, I believe tutoring goes beyond the instructional role to supplement class-room teaching in three ways: Empathic: Face-to-face or personalized tutoring is intended to be remedial in nature. At times, the lack of understanding of some fundamental concepts from the prior years causes difficulty for the student. The tutor…

A tutor should be able to build upon the basics and the foundation of a subject, most exams require an application of the basics. Students can only achieve full marks if they can apply their core knowledge in different ways to suit a question. Hence, the most important thing a tutor can do is teach ways to apply the basics. In math, there are…

Inside ValentineTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Tiffany completed a diagnostic assessment to identify areas needing support in maths, then focused on financial maths concepts like wages and salaries.

For Year 10, work with Lucy involved using past HSC exam papers to practice key algebraic techniques and review trigonometric concepts before tackling trial paper questions.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Jasmine explored the volume and capacity of cylinders through problem-solving activities and discussed literary techniques relevant to her English class.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student, as a tutor observed, "needed prompting to plan time during tests," which led to unfinished exam sections and lower marks than expected.

In Year 9 algebra, another student relied heavily on notes for formulas but didn't revisit feedback or practice independently—mistakes from previous sessions recurred in classwork.

One Year 5 learner struggled with messy working in multi-step multiplication problems; unclear layout made it difficult to check answers, slowing progress.

Meanwhile, a senior chemistry student avoided writing out tritation calculations fully, preferring mental steps that hid recurring sign errors and made later review challenging.

Recent Achievements

A Valentine tutor noticed that a Year 11 student who used to struggle with interpreting worded maths problems now breaks them down independently, showing real progress by pinpointing variables without prompting.

In a recent high school session, another student, previously hesitant to speak up when confused, started clearly communicating whenever she needed clarification instead of staying quiet—an important shift for her learning.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 3 surprised his tutor by not only naming all the main 3D shapes correctly but also managing two shape questions he'd gotten wrong the week before.

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