The most important thing for a tutor to do for a student is providing as much information as they can. Answer their questions, solve their problems, and make sure that they really understand the material. I am a very good listener. When a student is facing difficulty, I believe the problem is communication. Talk to them and try to find out what is…

I think a tutor has to be such kind of person who can unwillingly be able to establish himself/ herself as a role model to follow which will guarantee the success of the the student in the future. My personal opinion on me is I can understand the problem being faced by the students despite their denial about the problem and eventually bring them…

Not give the answers but help support the learning process and give guidance when the child needs it most. There is a difference between doing all the work for the child and actually teaching how the problem can be approached and observing how the student does it him/herself. If the child is stuck on a concept, it is my responsibility to help the…

Having empathy, because not all content comes too easy for students as it does for us, obviously. Having patience, because it can be frustrating if a tutor just expects a student to "get it" immediately. Being kind. This seems obvious but you may be surprised the number of teachers I've had and met who are not kind, and they are extremely hard…

The tutor must understand the student. Some students try really hard to learn but may fail to show successful results. The tutor must understand this, assure the student that he/she is making progress, and guide the student every inch of the way. Second, the tutor must consider the pursuits of the students as his/her own personal endeavor as…

The most important thing is helping someone develop a passion for the subject so that they want to learn more.

If a tutor can help a student retain even a small percentage of that, its an amazing achievement. Most of the…

Inside Willoughby EastTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Eli focused on simplifying expressions using index laws and converting between roots and indices, then applied area and volume formulas to shapes like kites and pyramids.

Year 10 student Nick worked on analysing box-plot graphs, calculating means from frequency tables, and interpreting cumulative frequency, especially in the context of upcoming exams.

Meanwhile, Izzy in Year 6 revised addition, subtraction, division, and geometry through targeted revision sheets designed to strengthen foundational maths skills.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student repeatedly rushed through complex surface area and prism problems, which led to confusion over which sides to include—he lost track of which sides were which, creating problems in his final equation.

In a separate Year 9 session, formatting issues like missing units and untidy layout made it hard for the student to check answers or review work later.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 English student's messy handwriting slowed down reading back his essay drafts and disrupted the flow of his argument development. These habits left them second-guessing their results during revision sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Willoughby East tutor noticed Nick, a Year 11 student, moving from uncertainty to confidently explaining the functions of cumulative frequency tables and successfully drawing pareto charts on his own.

In a recent session, Nikolai in Year 10, who used to rush through measurement problems and make errors, now deliberately paces himself and completes complex surface area questions with improved accuracy.

Meanwhile, Izzy in primary school has started tackling time and clock questions more independently; after previously hesitating, she now attempts answers without waiting for reassurance and completes conversions between measurements with far less prompting than before.

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 St Thomas' Catholic Primary School.
