The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to engage in thorough discussions about their thought processes, providing real-time feedback. This approach, which I valued greatly during my own tutoring experience in Year 12, helps students refine their problem-solving skills and deepen their understanding. A key strength of mine as a…

Tutors should be willing to listen and work well with students to achieve their personal goals. Tutors must foster or inspire a strong work ethic within students, motivating them to strive to reach their personal best. Aside from increasing a student's comprehension of particular subjects, tutors should highlight the importance of speaking up and…

I think a tutor should be capable of answering any questions discussing any uncertainties that a student may have. These should be explained clearly and if the student does not understand initially, the tutor should continue to explain in alternate ways (e.g. rewording sentences and visual aids such as diagrams) until the student understands. In…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to establish their confidence, give them the attention, teach the most efficient strategies to succeed in the exam with the least lessons. Students can't succeed in their exam is because there are so-called 'good students' in their class, for multiple reasons, their teachers don't actually…

Often in school, teachers teach a subject in only one way rather than catering for each individual in the class, which can often make students feel 'dumb' or hate the subject. I believe the most important things that a tutor can do for a student is to show them the many different ways to approach the subject and help them to find a new way that…

It is crucial for the tutors to maintain patient and positive. Especially in one-on-one situations, new students may feel constantly pressured to succeed.

The most crucial part of tutoring is identifying and addressing a student's most significant weaknesses. Since teachers in school are focused on teaching the syllabus, they might not have time to cater to the needs of each individual student. Conversely, a tutor can spend time analysing someone's most common mistakes to find out which topics or…

Being a friendly face and creating a learning environment where the student is relaxed/comfortable is of utmost importance.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is help a student solve their problems not just by giving them answers, but by guiding them to understand the process so they can do it on their own.

Inside Wheeler HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Tom worked on adding and multiplying fractions, as well as building confidence with basic algebra and graphing simple equations.

For Year 7, Ella focused on understanding angles—including scalene triangles—and learned how to calculate perimeter and area for various shapes using diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Jack tackled solving more complex algebraic equations and reviewed ratio concepts while practicing questions from a recent test paper.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student still relies on finger counting for multiplication and division, leading to slow progress and frequent errors in problem-solving.

In a Year 10 algebra session, she needed reminders to show all working rather than just providing the answer, which hid calculation slips until much later.

A Year 7 student repeatedly used multiple coloured pens when working through times tables—this habit took up lesson time without helping understanding.

For one senior maths learner, over-reliance on calculators for basic sums meant formula recall suffered, especially when asked to find area without prompts. The result: gaps persisted where fluency was most needed.

Recent Achievements

One Wheeler Heights tutor noted a high school student who, after initially struggling with constructing formulas for mean in statistics, was able to independently tackle a complex question by creating the formula herself—a significant step up from previous sessions where she needed guidance at each step.

Another older student, who used to quietly guess when stuck, has started voicing her problem-solving process aloud and now actively asks clarifying questions during algebra lessons.

Meanwhile, a younger learner made noticeable progress in division by using multiplication knowledge to check her answers and confidently completed two-digit division problems without needing reminders.

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 Dee Why Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cromer Public School.
