I believe the most important role a tutor plays is to establish a friendly relationship with the student. This makes learning more engaging and achievable. My previous tutoring experience has shown me that students learn best when they are engaged more personally. For example, relating concepts to the hobbies of a student allows them to perceive…

One of the most important things a tutor can do in my opinion is understand how a student thinks and foster a sense of encouragement regarding that thinking pattern. Personally in my experience I have found that this is very helpful and just overall a nice quality to have in a teacher/tutor. I believe my strengths as a tutor come from the fact I…

The most significant aspect of benefit which a tutor can imposed on a student is patience and the drive to ensure the student has received a full understanding of the topic. These two aspects require extensive skills of balance as imbalance amongst either aspect can create an uncomfortable experience of learning for students. As a tutor, from my…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to understand not only where they need assistance in their school work, but how they best learn.

At the end of a session, you want your student to understand the concept being taught, rather than blindly solving problems using formulae without understanding why. Targeting low-confidence areas: Most people like doing things they're good at but if you're already competent in those areas, you're just wasting time. This is why it's important…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is understand their needs. Whether it be how they learn, what areas they struggle in, or which areas they wish to excel in.

A tutor should help students feel supported, not judged — and create an environment where they can build both skill and confidence. It's important to help students develop strong foundations and problem-solving strategies, but equally important to listen, encourage curiosity, and show them that improvement is always possible. A great tutor…

Local Reviews

Kai is lovely and has such a natural approach with the kids.

Inside Valley HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Grace worked on identifying and ordering the letters of the alphabet as well as practising reading simple sentences.

In Year 9, Alexia focused on solving algebraic equations and using these skills to find areas of complex shapes, while also preparing for her test by revising multiplying and dividing algebraic expressions.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student covered key Financial Maths topics including calculating tax, Medicare levy, taxable income, and interpreting exam-style questions using past papers.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 Maths, a student struggled with multi-step tax and financial calculations, but tended to avoid reworking questions independently—"she needs to gain more confidence in calculating taxable income," one note observed.

In Year 11, another student forgot to bring formula sheets and had not revised prior topics, making it harder to link area formulas for composite shapes during problem-solving.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student reviewing algebra repeatedly overlooked sign conventions ("be careful of the sign conventions"), leading to repeated errors that slowed progress through new content.

Each moment saw extra time spent retracing steps instead of building mastery.

Recent Achievements

In Year 10, Tariq had previously needed a lot of guidance with percentages and Pythagoras' Theorem, but last session he worked out the length of unknown triangle sides using the theorem mostly on his own, only asking for help when really stuck.

Isabelle (Year 9) started off unsure about calculating area and perimeter of complex shapes; now she accurately finds these for trapeziums and cylinders without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Lillian (Year 5) used to rush her spelling, but this week she took time to spell every word on her list correctly during her test.

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 Blue Mountains Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Blue Mountains Grammar Preparatory School campus.
