Aminah
Tutor Chisholm, NSW
Being able to answer questions and be general guidance for a student is most important, especially on the journey to improve marks. I believe having someone you can ask questions to who is not a school teacher can be less daunting than having to ask in class, which will then help boost the confidence of the student. I am a patient person with a…

A tutor should also be able to inspire curiosity so that students become better learners in their field and ask questions. Lastly, the tutor should be flexible to personalise the…

Richard

The biggest thing would be to help students understand that ignorance is not failure. Just because they don't know something "basic", that does not mean they are worse than others, or are stupider, or are not going to succeed. It simply means they were not taught in a way that makes sense to them. This could be for a number of reasons, and not…

Local Reviews
Inside WoodberryTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 5 student Emily worked through converting decimals to fractions and percentages, as well as decimal placement in numbers.
Year 8 student James practised solving straight-line equations using the gradient formula (m) and y-intercept (c), tackling several exam-style problems for deeper understanding.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student Olivia revised surds and indices, including negative indices and simplifying fractional powers, while also applying scientific notation to unit conversions.
Recent Challenges
A Year 9 student was hesitant to attempt challenging algebra and indices problems, often freezing up when unsure—student freezes up when overwhelmed, shuts down, second guesses—which led to repeated errors and a reluctance to practice independently.
In Year 8 maths, another struggled with multi-step worded questions, losing focus partway through and missing key data needed for problem-solving.
Meanwhile, in Year 11 English, failing to plan essays resulted in scattered ideas and missed opportunities to build arguments with evidence.
Forgotten homework or revision tasks also meant less confidence recalling prior concepts during lessons.
Recent Achievements
A tutor in Woodberry noticed Molly, a Year 10 student, moving from needing step-by-step guidance to independently solving two advanced algebra questions after recalling methods from earlier sessions—a shift from past uncertainty with exam-style tasks.
In Year 8, Rylan recently demonstrated more initiative during revision by looking up statistics for his history assessment on his own and identifying the main revision points without prompting.
Meanwhile, Olivia in Year 5, who used to hesitate with new number concepts, now logically works out Roman numerals she hasn't seen before and applies her multiplication tables quickly when tackling large numbers.
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 Beresfield Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Woodberry Public School.
