A tutor or at least a teacher is someone who can give students a helping hand, perhaps a friend is too informal but someone they can relate to. I think being able to understand your student and what makes them improve or how they can improve is also essential as a tutor and a teacher. It is useless to spoon feed facts and knowledge to a student if…

The most important thing for a tutor to do to a student is to be able to connect with them on a level that allows them to understand the content. Not being able to form a connection with the student makes the learning process tough. It is important to find an approach that enables the student to succeed. As a tutor, I am able to connect with the…

I consider being empathetic and adaptive for students is highly important. Being empathetic of your students struggles and not putting them down for not understanding is the most important thing a tutor can do for them to ensure they feel comfortable and confident in their learning. Adaptability is also a key component for a tutor as not every…

Allow the student to make mistakes and correct those mistakes. Explain to the student that mistakes are a part of learning. Do not criticise but suggest improvements. Patience to deal with students at different levels is needed to tutor. Also, sufficient knowledge of the subject being tutored is necessary to tutor and to make the student confident…

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…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student, besides clarifying concepts, is to build their confidence and encourage critical thinking.

I think apart from seeing results, it is the tutor's responsibility to foster a student's love of learning and love for a subject since learning is one of the most rewarding experiences in life. I believe it is also pivotal that a tutor guides understanding rather than forces it. That is, it is the role of the tutor to not only teach a student…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is help the student understand a topic.

Good service, great Tutor, our daughter is definitely benefiting from her regular tutoring instruction

Inside AnnandaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Priya worked through long division and tackled multi-step algebra word problems using guided examples.

For Year 8, Liam focused on solving geometry questions involving angles and also practised converting fractions to decimals with real-life measurement scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Emily strengthened her understanding of differentiation—including questions with the constant e—and reviewed logarithms through targeted practice sets.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, skipping written working to "save time" led to repeated sign errors—one tutor observed, "he tried to do steps mentally and lost track of negatives."

A Year 12 legal studies student struggled with essay planning; ideas stayed unfocused because cases weren't linked clearly in their structure.

In Year 5 maths, reliance on calculator shortcuts meant fraction skills weren't reinforced and key rules like finding common denominators were forgotten.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student hesitated to attempt new problems out loud, worried about making mistakes—this slowed feedback and reduced confidence during geometry tasks.

Recent Achievements

One Annandale tutor recently saw a Year 10 student move from confusion with profit and loss calculations to confidently applying percentage formulas on her own, which had previously been a sticking point.

In a Year 7 session, a student who used to stay quiet during lessons has started regularly asking clarifying questions about new concepts—an encouraging shift from passive to active learning.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who struggled with long division last term now completes multi-step problems independently and only checks in for occasional guidance. Last week, he finished an entire set of division questions without any errors.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Very happy with the way it is going thanks Gene. Benedict is a good tutor and Saf and I are both happy with her progress.

All going well. Aisling has connected well with Anthony and he feels that the tutoring is helping.

Karla's tutoring is going very well. Hilario has a lovely manner and approach and Karla seems to be getting on very well with him. They have talked about getting the basics right and he's teaching her tips to remember key things as Karla becomes very stressed in exams and cannot concentrate. So hopefully this approach will help.

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 Inner West Council Library and History Leichhardt Branch—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Brendan's Catholic Primary School.
