Science Tutor Cremorne, NSW
The most important things I can do for a student are to build their confidence, make learning meaningful, and foster independent thinking. Academic success isn’t just about knowing the right formulas or facts—it’s about developing the mindset and strategies to tackle challenges with resilience. I focus on creating a supportive environment…

The best thing a tutor can do for a student is affirm their self-worth as a learner and as an individual. It can be frustrating not being able to figure something out, but it becomes a lot less daunting without extreme expectations. I think my strengths as a tutor lie in my patience and my creativity. It's certainly not an easy task learning…

It is so important for tutors to adapt their method of teaching to the way the student learns. Every student not only has different needs and difficulties, but learns concepts differently. It is extremely important to regularly re-evaluate the student's objectives. Modifying your approach as a tutor to make the student feel comfortable and…

Science Tutor Wollstonecraft, NSW
To me, the most essential role a tutor can fulfill is that of an enabler and empowerer. I believe a tutor's primary goal should be to provide students with a strong foundation of knowledge and a resilient problem-solving framework, not only to tackle academic challenges but also to navigate any obstacle life may present. An empowering tutor equips…

Be patient. Tutors cannot expect students to understand or get the question right the first time. It is important for tutors to understand where the student went wrong and to slowly and easily correct them by following the question. Once they grasped an understanding, tutors should give the student similar questions to practice so they are…

The most important thing a tutor can do is recognise their students ability level and mould their teaching to that level. This insures that the kids do not feel out of depth, but also they are learning new things every session.

I believe that the tutor shouldn't be the one always in control and leading the session. Especially in early sessions, I believe the tutor should encourage the student to ask many questions of them, to grasp what they know and how they interpret different topics. Tutoring almost becomes useless if the tutor is the one constantly talking because…

I consider being able know the student's strength and weakness and explain them the topic accordingly to be the most important thing.

A tutor should be there to support the student through all academic struggles they are facing and help the student reach all their academic goals. The tutor should be familiar with their students learning style and preferences, then adjust their tutoring to suit. A tutor should also create a safe environment where the student feels they can ask…

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…

A tutor needs to inspire the students in such a way that they know what their efforts will make them accomplish. A very few teachers are able to provide the contextual applications of what they teach the students. I believe it is paramount that a student know about WHY he is being taught something.

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.
