Provide a safe space for the student to make mistakes without judgement. They don’t always have this at school with their peers looking on. Provide high level materials that don’t just duplicate those from school or in generic books. I really think about the resources we use to make sure they are the right level, challenging and have stretch…

I think the most important thing is not to dump all my knowledge onto a student, but to have them have their own lightbulb moment, and figure out ways and strategies that work for best them. I am able to go at a pace that they are able to adapt to, implement different strategies easily, and I get along with a wide range of people, creating a safe…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do are build trust, encourage genuine confidence, and teach students how to learn independently. It's not just about helping them get through one subject or assignment, it's about giving them the skills and self-belief they can carry with them into everything else they do. I think my main strengths…

The most important thing that a tutor can do at first, is build a rapport and a relationship of trust. In order to connect with a student, a tutor must be able to forge a strong connection that is much the same as a mentor to a younger generation. Further from this, a tutor must be able to assess the genuine ability of a student - this is crucial,…

The most important thing in my opinion is to not only be able to guide students to the correct answer, but also make them feel accomplished and enjoy the process of knowing nothing to all the knowledge they need in school. At the same time, a tutor have to be respectful at all times. Some of my strengths as a tutor are that I am great with…

The most important things that a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, are motivating the students to learn on their own as well as arming them with the tools and study skills. The motivation to learn is critical, since the tutor can teach the material, but at the end of the day, it is the student who has to master it. Without such…

Encourage them to pursue their dreams. Teach them to be lifelong learners. I believe you have completely understood the concept when you can simplify it entirely.

Over the years, I have developed the opinion that the teaching of transferable skills - contrary to only what is needed at the moment - is most valuable for the student’s future development. It is important to see that just completing the mandatory homework will not suffice, the real challenge is to change the mindset. As a good tutor, one has…

Bronwyn, Vaucluse

Inside VaucluseTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Charlie worked on improving confidence with fractions and decimals, using number lines to visualise equivalence.

For Year 9, Ava focused on algebraic inequalities and started exam preparation by reviewing budget questions from her syllabus.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Daniel concentrated on Module C English by planning and scaffolding a discursive piece while exploring the requirements of the discursive form in detail.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student in mathematics often avoided writing out steps when forming equations from worded problems, which made it harder to catch and correct misunderstandings—she kept struggling to turn story questions into equations, especially with fractions.

In Year 12 English, one student came to sessions without having done background readings or prepared notes; as a tutor noted, "if he isn't taking notes we end up going through the same content every week."

For another senior economics student, not submitting drafts or bringing questions in advance meant missed chances for feedback and slower progress toward exam readiness.

Recent Achievements

In a Vaucluse tutoring session, a Year 10 student who previously rushed through assignments is now pausing to plan her essay structure, resulting in clearer arguments and fewer rewrites.

Another high schooler, after struggling with metaphor use in creative writing, began actively incorporating feedback. His latest draft showed much sharper imagery and more precise language.

In primary maths, one student who used to hesitate with multi-digit subtraction now completes these problems confidently and has finally memorised the order of months, something she found confusing before.

Last week, she solved all ten practice questions without help or errors.

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 Watsons Bay Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kincoppal - Rose Bay School of the Sacred Heart.
