I think that the most important things that a tutor can do for a student would be to inspire them to love the subjects that they take and study, to be able to inspire them to do their work and really work at it in their own time, such that the tutoring isn't a dependency but a supplement to their success.

Hei Leong Leo
Tutor Crows Nest, NSW
Don’t make students memorize, make them understand it in their own way. A lot of the topics that are taught can actually be related to previous topics. If they can see that connection between each topic, then understanding tends to become easier. Also, we shouldn’t put too much pressure on them. That means don’t explain too quickly, but…

I was tutored in highschool which has allowed me to…

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to act as both an academic and emotional mentor to alleviate some of the stress that comes with studying.

Local Reviews
Inside Balgowlah HeightsTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 7 student Jerry worked on converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages, then applied these skills to problems involving GST and profit/loss, and also practised writing equations for linear relationships using tables of values.
Year 9 student Amelie focused on mastering surd simplification, multiplication/division, and rationalising denominators, and completed summary notes for key topics like indices and quadratics as part of her assessment preparation.
Meanwhile, Year 12 student Clara revised loans and annuities in financial maths ahead of an exam, tackled network problems involving minimum-cut/maximum-flow theorems, and reviewed standard deviation questions in normal distribution using formula sheets.
Recent Challenges
In Year 8 maths, one student often avoided writing out full working in algebra and geometry problems; as a tutor noted, "he lost marks in his exam as he did not show his working out." This meant that even correct answers couldn't earn maximum credit.
In Year 12 financial maths, another student sometimes brought incomplete notes or forgot key materials like her calculator, making it harder to apply concepts independently during lessons.
When a student skipped homework attempts before sessions, the opportunity for deeper revision and targeted feedback was lost—especially leading up to tests when problem-solving skills mattered most.
Recent Achievements
One Balgowlah Heights tutor noticed that Jerry, a high school student, has started double-checking his working out and now asks for help only after attempting challenging questions himself—a big shift from when he'd get stuck and wait for guidance.
In another session, Clara took the initiative to complete several past papers on her own before her exams, showing much more independence in her study routine than earlier in the term.
Meanwhile, Lilly (Year 4) has begun recognising and correcting her own times tables mistakes during "Hit the Button," instead of guessing or waiting for answers.
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 Mosman Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Cecilia's Catholic Primary School.
