In addition to this, it is important for tutors to create and maintain relationships with their students that emulate trust and belief in their abilities. A…

I believe a tutor should be a role model. Where they should embody not only the study skills they teach but also be honest, patient and a motivator, all whilst being professional. Through this a student can grow both academically and as a person allowing them to reap the rewards more deeply. A tutors role is to listen and provide their clients…

The most important things for a tutor to do is to help a student strengthen their own ability to learn independantly. It is far more important that a student understands the learning process and what works best for them rather than simply memorise a single topic.

I believe that it's a tutor's purpose is to push the student at a pace that they're capable of achieving regardless of what that level is. A student can only work to the best of their capacity and achieving this efficiency is the advantaged of personalised education. With younger especially clients in grades 4 and below, I believe it's essential…

Listen to them, let them teach you about themselves, let them have a go and try things and trial and error. No matter how many times they get it wrong they will always learn more by putting the effort in rather than just being given the answer.

Inside Barrack HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Molly worked on understanding proportionality in mathematics, specifically focusing on converting between km/hr and m/s using constants of proportionality.

Year 9 student Sophie tackled solving equations with fractions and revisited key algebra skills to reinforce her confidence.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Amy revised financial mathematics by working through tax and wages problems, and explored compound interest calculations relevant to the senior curriculum.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, a student hesitated to write out each step in algebra problems, leading to repeated sign errors and confusion when reviewing past work—"she frequently looks at the wrong information when referring back to worksheets," one tutor observed.

During senior-level financial maths revision, missing clear headings and labels made it difficult to track which question was being answered, causing extra time lost during test preparation.

Earlier in Year 8, anxiety around tests led to rushed reading of worded questions, so key details were missed or misunderstood.

Confidence dipped after mistakes but improved with clearer working and careful checking.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Barrack Heights noticed a Year 10 student who used to rush through algebra problems now pausing to check her working, spotting and fixing errors herself—something she hadn't done before.

In a recent high school session, another student who struggled with finance topics last term demonstrated clear improvement by accurately solving compound interest questions without prompting.

Meanwhile, a primary schooler who was previously hesitant to ask for help started bringing tricky geometry homework to the session and asking targeted questions about shapes and formulas.

Last week, that same student completed every worksheet question on her own for the first time.

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 Warilla Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Warilla High School.
