The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make them feel at ease within the subject being taught. These include: making sure they do not put too much pressure on themselves if they do not understand a topic, and giving them the confidence to ask questions. Complete trust and availability on the part of the tutor is also important.…

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish [and give him a rod] and you feed him for a lifetime." I think the most important thing that I can do for a student is to provide them with understanding and tools to solve their own problems. I have a deep understanding of mathematical concepts (as I am completing an Advanced…

The most important things i can do for a student include asking the students how they answered certain questions, allowing them to realise where their errors are and learn off of their mistakes. Being able to regurgitate questions into smaller sections is the key in answering exam style questions, thus it is very important for a tutor to be able…

The most important thing as a tutor is to put yourself in the student's shoes and make sure they are learning and taking in something useful after every session. This makes the most out of their time and also helps to make them more confident in their studies, which also builds trust between the student and tutor which is key to making them…

Inside Black ForestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Zara worked on comparing and ordering fractions using visual models, then practised multiplying and dividing fractions as well as converting between improper fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals.

Year 10 student Archie reviewed algebra test errors by revisiting factorising and expanding expressions, before moving on to ratio exercises from his laptop program.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lachlan explored trigonometric sine functions—focusing on amplitude, period, and phase shifts—alongside geometry work involving the properties of quadrilaterals and solving for unknowns using side lengths and angles.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student's chemistry report was difficult to follow, with a tutor noting, "structure still not clearly and main point not communicated logically"—unclear layout made feedback hard to apply.

In Year 10 maths, skipping written steps meant algebra errors went unnoticed until review.

For a Year 8 research task, copy-pasting from sources without evaluating or organising ideas led to jumbled paragraphs and unclear argument flow.

A Year 5 student repeatedly left fractions homework incomplete, which slowed her progress in class when tackling new problems.

Without consistent practice and clearer work habits, confusion lingered longer than necessary.

Recent Achievements

One Black Forest tutor noticed Molly now brings in her own draft assignments and openly points out which questions gave her trouble—something she used to hesitate with.

After some targeted practice on functions, she could independently identify domains and ranges by the end of the session.

In another case, Erin recently received an A+ for her maths investigation and took the initiative to plan ahead for upcoming assessments without prompting.

Meanwhile, Archie (Year 7) showed real growth by reviewing errors from his last test, then confidently solving similar algebra problems on his own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you so much for your assistance over the past months. Alex has progressed quite well and is getting more enjoyment out the subject given that he now has a better grasp of it.

Thank you for this.  We are extremely happy with Jason. He has a lot of patience with Sarah and  a genuine interest in helping her in Maths.  Sarah is slowly getting more confident in maths and this is a big step.

Thanks for the reports. Michael is fantastic. James and I both really like him and he is a very dedicated and diligent tutor.

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 Goodwood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Black Forest Primary School.
