The most important thing for the tutor is always being creative with their classes and thinking outside the box so that their teaching style is different from the conventional method of teaching. My biggest strength as a tutor is that I am a good listener, I make sure I understand where my student is falling behind and what things I could do to…

motivation, encouragement, and guidance. for me, tutoring is not about giving a subject material and that's it, the parents will leave with their child, therefore, you have to be trustworthy, and show them that he will be better not only as a student but also as a human. other than technical abilities, motivation and enthusiasm to the students,…

I think that would be putting themselves as a student and be the teacher they always wanted/needed when they were their age. There is nothing more powerful than a teacher who is still a student at heart, in my opinion. Empathy as a student, as well as finding simple ways to explain complex…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is none other than making the student truly understand the solution to a problem, and the understanding of how the solution is built up, instead of forcing the student to memorize a certain formula to solve a problem, teaching them to recognize patterns as well as using simple…

Tutors should build on the foundations of a lesson. The proverb holds true: "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." We're giving students the tools necessary not to just answer the question, but to be able to have the knowledge and wisdom to apply those tools to other challenges…

I think understanding that every kid is different and special in their own way, and they have their own needs and methods of approaching problems is very important.

You must be adaptable, and change according to how each student acts since every individual is very distinct, this will help cater to their differences (such as learning speed).

Furthermore, the tutor must be enthusiastic about the subject, if the student sees that…

Instead only focus on academic results, study ability and habit is more important.

Martha has been an excellent choice. We are very happy.
Audrey, Balmain

Inside Balmain EastTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Charlie reviewed mean, median, mode and tackled Interquartile Range, then moved on to constructing and interpreting box plots using recent test questions.

Year 9 student Emma practised solving simultaneous equations and reinforced her understanding of algebraic equations through targeted problem sets.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ava focused on compound interest calculations and depreciation problems in maths, working through real-world scenarios for extra clarity.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student struggled with reading worded geometry questions fully, leading to missed key details—"she is still struggling picturing the different scenarios from the word questions," noted a tutor.

In Year 11, failure to plan and condense history notes led to either excess information or critical gaps when revising for assessments.

For Year 8 algebra, skipping steps in rearranging equations hid sign errors and slowed progress.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student repeatedly forgot multiplication tables during fraction work, causing frustration mid-task and slowing confidence growth when tackling more complex problems.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Balmain East noticed a big shift for one Year 10 student who had previously missed key details in algebra questions; she now checks each problem more carefully and rarely skips important information.

In Year 8 maths, another student moved from confusion with multi-step percentage problems to independently solving even the longest ones without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who once hesitated to read aloud tackled Level 11 and 12 books solo this week, finishing them with no help and even attempting the next level up.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I am 100% satisfied with your company and Rick, Alanahs tutor. I will definately call on you if the need arises again and won't hesitate in recommending you if anyone I know required tutoring services.

Although my family has only met Wageesha once, we all felt very comfortable with her. She has a wonderful way with children and communicates very easily with them. Initially my son was very reluctant towards having a tutor however, after working with Wageesha he really enjoyed it and wants to keep going. She is very respectful and easy to talk to. I can already see that she would strive to get the  best from her students.

hi thank you for acting so quickly getting rebecca a tutor  the tutor was very helpful now rebecca feels very confident she has had her 2 hour lesson and is very happy with the results thank you once again regards.

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 Balmain Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Nicholson Street Public School.
