I think that the most important things that a biology tutor can do for a student would be to inspire them to love the subjects that they take and study, to be able to inspire them to do their work and really work at it in their own time, such that the tutoring isn't a dependency but a supplement to their success. Once that's achieved, it becomes…

Patience and not comparing them with the others. I believe that each student has their own pace of learning. Lack of patience and comparing them with others will certainly hamper their learning process and will give them less confidence on their studies. Understanding the most effective way of learning for each student is also crucial. When I was…

Among the most important things a tutor can do for a student is that a tutor must be able to understand a student's learning style so that the student would be able to learn the material in a way that is analogous to their mode of synthesising knowledge. A tutor must do this all the while being open and kind and most especially warm towards the…

Local Reviews

Things are going really well. Kai enjoys Noah's tutoring. On his last math's assessment he received 80% in comparison to the one before which was 55%. I met with his math's school teacher and she has provided upcoming topics for Noah to discuss with Kai as well as 2 practice tests. Her feedback was positive too and constructive. If we stay on this path, I'm confident that it will prepare him well for the upcoming HSC.

Inside WilloughbyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Aiden focused on fractions and percentages, building confidence through practical problem sets.

For Year 9, Grace revised index laws—applying them to simplify expressions—and explored how to convert between roots and indices using worked examples.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lucas tackled advanced probability questions and practiced working with random variables and probability distribution functions for his mathematics course.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student struggled with revision because old notes hadn't been reviewed, which led to confusion over index laws and difficulty simplifying complex algebraic expressions—"he wasn't sure when to use (a^m)^n = a^(mn)," as noted in the session.

In Year 7, unfinished assigned work meant new percentage topics weren't practiced enough for speed.

For a senior Physics student, not specifying help areas clearly made it harder to target gaps in understanding during tutorials.

Meanwhile, an English student avoided dialogue writing tasks, limiting progress in developing character depth and narrative tension within creative pieces.

Recent Achievements

One Willoughby tutor recently noticed Kristina, a Year 12 student, overcoming her initial overwhelm with Advanced Mechanics by stepping back to strengthen her trigonometry skills—she now tackles those foundation questions without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Cael in Year 7 shifted from needing frequent prompting during writing sessions to experimenting independently with dialogue and building character profiles for stories.

In primary school, Aylin moved from passive participation to actively engaging in lessons and now attempts every question on her own initiative; last session, she completed all addition and subtraction tasks without waiting for guidance.

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 Castlecrag Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Willoughby Public School.
