Build a personal relationship with them and understand what the student does and doesn't like. Having being tutored myself, I didn't respond as well with someone who could not meet me at my level than I did with a tutor who I felt I could relate to and trust. I am calm and caring, which I think is really important in tutoring, especially when…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is act as a motivation for them to achieve their personal best. Although raising marks is the main objective for tutors, they must be able to interact with the students and find their weak points and there is a limit to what they can teach. They must act as a pillar that can support their…

Empathy is key. If a tutor can show how learning certain topics can help a student in the future, it keeps the student's interest held in the subject for longer. What really helps is to periodically give some positive feedback to the student about their progress - how he or she has improved in the past 3 months, or month, for example. Because of…

To boost confidence. Most likely, tutors will not teach a student a lot of new information. For subjects like math, students instead take what confuses them in school, and drill it over and over with a tutor until it becomes second nature. For English, tutors can help students create outlines, double check their work, and make sure they are on the…

Practically, the vital thing a tutor can do is almost entirely dependent on who the student is. By that I mean, a tutor must figure out how their student learns, thinks, how confident are they to gauge how to cater to them. However, the essential things tutors must do is firstly, enable the students to understand themselves better, so that outside…

Local Reviews

Great customer service and flexible in regards to making sure the right person is selected for your child. Would recommend.
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.
