The most important things a maths tutor can do for a student is help them gain the tools necessary to be able to succeed on their own. As a tutor, helping students not only believe in themselves, but also helping them gain the strategies and tools to overcome difficult academic and non-academic problems is an important thing. Tutors need to not…

I realize tutoring is not just about being a private teacher who delivers knowledge outside of school. It is also about being a mentor, a facilitator, a friend who can help learners grow and develop good habits in order to have the best performance in learning. Besides, the tutor is the one who understand the student' strengths and weaknesses in…

Tutors not only have to have a solid grasp of the subjects but also a profound understanding of their students.

Furthermore, making it as fun as you can for the students undergoing the tutoring…

A tutor should make learning feel safe, achievable and enjoyable. The most important things are to build confidence, personalise the approach, set clear goals, and teach step-by-step strategies that students can use independently. Encouragement, consistency and strong communication with families are also essential for meaningful progress. My…

I think the most important thing a maths tutor can do for a student is to listen to and understand the students' difficulties and know the parts they need my help the most. When I was a student, my teacher was not really able to help with my needs since he had to take care of so many students at the same time. Therefore, I think as a private…

A tutor must understand the learner is still human, my collaboration skills allow me to see past age or education level. Tutors must see that they have specific ways they can learn best, therefore assessing the child as a human with capabilities comes first. This allows the learner to take in the information in the best way possible. Giving…

Personally, tutoring children is not only about grade improvement, but how to inspire and help them somehow stop "hating" the subject. Typically, parents seek out tutoring after their children have reached their academic breaking point. Therefore, as a maths tutor, I believe helping children find the study strategy that works best for them, and…

Teach them how to learn in the most efficient and effective manner. This is because once you understand how you learn, you can learn anything. Also, I believe it is important to understand the value of making mistakes, because if you don't make mistakes you will never learn. I am very attentive to the students needs. I am a hard worker and will…

Inside AthelstoneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Alex worked on consolidating multiplication facts, especially the 6 and 7 times tables, and practised finding perimeter and area of rectangles using diagrams.

In Year 9, James focused on solving linear equations and identifying x- and y-intercepts when graphing lines from equations.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Priya explored trigonometry by applying the cosine rule to solve triangle problems and used a cheat sheet for extra practice ahead of her upcoming test.

Recent Challenges

Several process challenges emerged across primary and high school levels.

In Year 4 maths, incomplete homework was a repeated concern—"Kalani should remember to do her homework," noted after multiple subtraction and times table sessions, leaving gaps in revision.

A Year 9 student came to lessons without books, which meant "less related questions" could be tackled that week.

In senior maths (Year 11), over-reliance on calculators surfaced during standard deviation tasks; when asked to work manually, confusion slowed progress.

One tutor observed a Year 8 student organizing ideas for English assignments but struggling to format them clearly, making conclusions harder to draft confidently.

Recent Achievements

One Athelstone tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously struggled with test mistakes now quickly pinpointing where she went wrong and independently correcting her working—something she hesitated to attempt last term.

In another session, a Year 9 student who used to rely heavily on prompting surprised her tutor by solving challenging equations almost entirely on her own after just one walkthrough.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who would often rush through word problems is now pausing to underline key information before answering, leading her to finish every question in the set correctly this week.

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