I consider adapting to the student needs and level of understanding is by far the most important thing a tutor can do for a student. This will surely help my student catch up with their studies in their own unique way. Secondly, coaching the student to build their skills is also a priority for me as a tutor/teacher. 1) Lesson planning before…

One of the most important thing a tutor can do for a student, is not only make the subject fun and easier to understand but to make the student believe in himself/herself. Most of the students, do not feel very confident in their own understanding of the subject and hesitate to participate in class discussions. I believe by making the student…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to encourage them that mistakes are part of learning.

I think that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make that student interested in what they are learning. Although students may not enjoy every aspect of what they're learning, if they can find even one thing that they enjoy, this could be enough. I am patient, determined, and kind to those that I tutor. So, I think that…

With this approach a tutor can make a difference in the student’s learning. I believe…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is wholly believe in their capabilities. If a tutor/ teacher doesn't think that a student can succeed then it's pretty impossible to effectively help. Of course, this goes the other way as it is a tutors responsibility to ensure that the student believes in their own ability to succeed.…

Teach obviously! but i think if the tutor can make the lessons as fun as possible so that the student looks forward to them as something enjoyable rather than as purely work, the best results will occur.

Inside BanksiaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Sasha practised measurement skills by working through questions from Chapter 8 and also received support on specific homework problems.

In Year 10, James revised simultaneous equations using the elimination method and focused on understanding coefficients through step-by-step examples.

For Year 12, Charlotte completed practice questions on networks, rates, and ratios directly aligned with the Standard Mathematics syllabus to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student tackling networks found it difficult to memorise key definitions and formulas, which slowed progress; as the tutor noted, "explaining the parts of the topic he didn't understand was hard without repeating myself."

In Year 7 algebra, another student consistently avoided writing out working for equations, making sign errors harder to catch.

For a primary creative writing task, one child hesitated to try new ideas out of fear of mistakes—leading to less original responses.

Meanwhile, in senior trigonometry revision, incomplete homework limited the depth of discussion and practice on advanced problems.

Recent Achievements

One Banksia tutor noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with ratios in the past, began identifying calculation errors independently and even caught a mistake before the tutor did during a complex networks problem.

In another high school session, a student who used to skip showing working for algebra now writes out each step and talks through her process aloud without prompting, making it much easier to catch mistakes early.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student recently started asking for extra worksheets on mixed numerals—something she previously avoided—and now tries new fraction problems by herself before seeking help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I'd care to share something with you.  Whilst our son, Jordan has yet of course to complete his HSC and not wishing to tempt fate, his trials are over.  Last year, Y11 he received the award for #1 ranking in general maths.  Unfortunately his teacher moved overseas and let's just say the relationship between him and his new teacher wasn't as before.  His ranking swiftly dropped to sub 15!  To compound matters, 10 students during Y12 dropped down from 'advanced' to 'general' pushing Jordan's overall ranking to sub 20. Then we came to you for help.  Since Jordan has been studying with Suraj his standards steadily began improving once again and we're extremely happy to report that Jordan's overall trial's exam results pushed him up to 4th.  Remember, this included those who dropped down to 'general.'  Now that's a positive outcome.  Naturally, full credit must go to Jordan but without your assistance we would be facing a very different outcome.

Nathan has really put great effort into getting to know Ronan, what makes him tick and where he can get the best out of him.

Everything is going well so far with Georgette and Sophia seems to enjoy the hour she has with her this week.  She appreciates some of the new strategies she has learnt.

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