- I believe the most important thing for a tutor to do is to set a role model and attempt to invigorate a strong love of learning within the student. By doing this, the tutor can give the student an opportunity to make greater academic progress individually in combination with the tutor. - Obviously, tutors must also be able to effectively assist…

It's the responsibility of a tutor to meet students where they are at. Tutors should come to learn the boundaries of what their students do and do not understand and create structure and context for pushing those boundaries to ultimately envelop the knowledge they need to succeed. This can sometimes mean "back-filling" missing knowledge or…

I think the biggest benefit a tutor can have is to help instill in a student a sense of confidence in their ability to learn. Regardless of how much subject matter a student is able to retain, they will have a lot of learning to do beyond when they are being tutored, so I believe it is at least as important for students to be ‘learning how to…

One of the most important skills I believe a tutor can develop is the art of explaining material in different ways. Often, when students struggle to understand some concept, explaining the material in the same way repeatedly does not help. The key then is to try approaching the material in different ways until the student can grasp it. Past tutees…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to create an environment which will enable them to feel comfortable while studying and be a good listener and teach a student how to learn. I can help my students engage in the study. I can help them analyse their weakness and find ways to improve them. I am always helping them to grow…

Prior to anything a tutor must undertand the student's goals and objectives. It is only after this that the tutor should then understand what kind of person the student is, motivational factors behind the interest in learning, and how to communicate more effectively when transfering knowledge. The student's personality is also a key factor to…

Inside Bilgola PlateauTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Charlotte focused on converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages and tackled multi-digit multiplication using written algorithms.

For Year 8, Daniel worked through trigonometry problems involving angles of elevation and depression, as well as applying Pythagoras' theorem to real-world questions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Emily reviewed quadratic equations and practiced solving them both algebraically and by sketching graphs to interpret solutions visually.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student sometimes relied heavily on their calculator for algebraic simplification, which meant "small sign errors slipped through because working wasn't written out," as noted in one session.

In Year 11, a pattern emerged where formulae were forgotten during bearings and financial maths questions—confidence dropped each time a step was missed, and revisiting notes was avoided.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student tended to practice only familiar times tables when revising, leaving trickier ones like 7 × 8 slower under pressure.

In each case, small lapses in process made progress feel harder than it needed to be.

Recent Achievements

One Bilgola Plateau tutor noticed a Year 11 student finally used the chain rule and product rule for differentiation without prompting, after weeks of mixing them up.

In Year 8, a student who used to rely on finger counting surprised her tutor by adding numbers in tens mentally and only using her fingers once.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 learner—who previously guessed at which formulas to use—started drawing quick sketches to break down geometry problems before choosing the right method. That session ended with him correctly calculating surface area for composite shapes on his own.

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 Avalon Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Bilgola Plateau Public School.
