In middle school, I wasn’t a particularly bright student, and I needed the help of tutoring to catch up with my grade level. After trying various teachers and tutors, one of the most impactful things I learnt was how much of a leader a tutor needs to be. It’s all well if someone knows the subject material, but if they don’t understand how to…

The most important thing a tutor can do is build a student’s self-efficacy by transforming the way they approach challenges. Rather than just providing answers, a tutor should demystify the struggle of learning, showing the student that getting stuck is a natural part of the problem-solving process rather than a sign of failure. By moving away…

As a tutor, the most important thing is to answer to a student's academic needs, no matter what they may be. Whether it be difficulty on a certain topic or problem, or revision for a test. This, as well as acting as a support for the student's attitude towards learning, is what being a tutor is about. When it comes to working on a subject, I'm…

A tutor has to be flexible enough to change their teaching style and methods according to the student's learning styles and capabilities. No two students are the same which means adaptability becomes a key skill that a tutor has to have and be able to provide a well tailored tutoring style for the student. Moreover, a tutor has to be kind and…

With this approach a tutor can make a difference in the student’s learning. I believe…

A tutor should be able to immediately help a student with their issues, constructing quick and easy-to-digest lessons around their desired topics, and tailoring the lesson to the student's individual strengths and weaknesses.

In my opinion, tutors have the responsability to ensure that the students have learned and correctly understood a topic. I always liked the metaphor building a car. A mechanic can tell you how to build it piece by piece but you can not replicate that process unless you have really understood it. In addition, tutors have an important role in…

If a tutor can inspire and transform his student to be better and the student realizes the positive change in him/her and acknowledges it, then the student is on the right track and doesn't need the tutor anymore.

Local Reviews

Rosie is tutoring my child in year 7 maths and has built up a great rapport with her. Through my observations I can see that Rosie has a strong understanding of maths and is able to explain ideas and concepts very easily. She has a lot of patience and always checks my daughters understanding and offers alternative explanations where needed. Rosie is always punctual, friendly and polite and I am very happy with the progress that has been made to date.

Inside ZetlandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student William worked on correcting homework covering simple interest and surds, along with catching up missed class content.

For Year 9, revision with Ben focused on dividing and multiplying fractions as well as tackling negative and fractional indices in surds.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Xavier practised converting remainders into decimals, solved word problems, and labelled different types of triangles using diagrams to support understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student left several steps unwritten when tackling algebraic equations, as one tutor noted: "he tried to do everything in his head instead of writing it down." This led to confusion over signs and made errors harder to spot.

In Year 11, incomplete homework meant that basic perfect square practice was missed, so extra time had to be spent revisiting foundational rules rather than progressing.

Meanwhile, a primary student working on division often forgot her materials at home, causing delays while searching for worksheets and slowing the start of each session.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Zetland noted that William, a Year 10 student, has started attempting every maths question instead of skipping the tough ones—a real shift from earlier sessions when he'd often give up if stuck.

In Year 11, after struggling with surd problems last term, he was able to recall the steps and solve similar questions independently this week, using his own notes for support.

Meanwhile, Elliott (Year 5) used to stay quiet during lessons but now openly talks through his reasoning on each English question and even asks for extra examples when something feels tricky. Last session, he wrote down all his ideas without prompting.

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 Green Square Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Green Square Public School.
