I think it would be to help him find a way by himself in the end with the help of the concepts and tricks that I have taught him. If possible even enlighten the passion for the subject itself. What I mean in simple words is, make him gain confidence in the subject that he is having issues with. That he is capable of doing it and whatever is…

A good tutor should ensure that students truly understand the concepts being taught by not only solving questions but also by applying the knowledge to a variety of problems. A good tutor should also encourage students' motivation and help them develop effective study skills. This includes adopting strategic approaches to learning, which can…

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…

Build their confidence. Knowledge is important, but if a student leaves still thinking they're just bad at math or whatever subject, I've failed. The most important thing is helping them realize they're capable - that struggling doesn't mean failing, it means learning. I also think creating a comfortable space matters. Students need to feel safe…

The most important thing a tutor can do is become a figure of trust as well as a role model. They need to be someone the student feels they can open up to about insecurities when it comes to their studies and school, as well as a reassuring presence they can trust to help guide them in their education. My strengths are communication and a personal…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to actively pay attention to them.

Be Patient. I think as a tutor you have to understand that people learn and process things differently. There are students that understand really fast and there are students that do that really slow. Ultimately, you have to be patient and willing to imbibe the knowledge in them. I think as a person and as someone who’s worked in various fields…

Additionally, I believe that its important a tutor should never just give answers when teaching. In order for students to…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to let them go wild in their creativity, and act as more of a meander along a river's edge, guiding it in the right direction, than a dam trying to hold the water in.

- For example in Mathematics: teach them mathematical methodologies/skills, which the school did not in general, that could significantly help them work on problems at a faster pace. - Ways in which they could study. Because the methods of studying are underrated and could often be overlooked. - I believe I am fairly good at making someone…

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.
