As a tutor I would help the student to bring out his or hers ideas through learning. Those ideas can make a huge difference in the society. Additionally, I would focus on students who are very weak in a particular subject and provides tips to improvise. I have good knowledge in Mathematics and I can explain the concepts using real life examples.…

The most important thing for a tutor is to understand the weaknesses of a student, identify his/her areas of discomfort and find a suitable way for the student to digest. Being able to be a good friend of the student is also a rare quality every tutor should possess. I have 5+ years of experience tutoring students from various background. My good…

The most important thing a tutor can do to a student is make student believe that student can learn and reach proper solution. Every one has the potential to learn things so, once a student starts believing in himself/herself studying starts to become fun. I as a tutor hardly give up on my students. I can only be satisfied and feel peaceful once I…

Tutors should check for understanding as they go and constantly build confidence so that the student feels like their abilities are improving. When a student feels confident, wonderful things begin to happen. Their curiosity is ignited, and they are more likely to ask questions in class and read additional texts about things that interest them.…

Besides helping them understand and learn a topic, the tutor should also help the student master the topic through mastery learning. Mastery learning is a way of designing units of work so that each set of tasks focuses on a particular learning objective and students must master a task to move onto the next one. The tutor should also help the…

As a tutor, it is very important to be a source of encouragement for each student equally and make them believe in themselves to be successful(success-as defined by each person and not according to the standards of the general public). I also believe it is important to acknowledge the effort of each child, appreciate them where it is…

The biggest thing that I can do is instill a perfect, complete understanding of the topic at a conceptual level. Memorizing formulas and techniques is so inefficient, and by instead focusing on conceptual understanding, my students can tackle unfamiliar problems with confidence. My biggest strength would be my adaptable communication skills. I…

Jess always shows up in time and doesn't dash out the door after 60 minutes but stays to finish if they are in the middle of doing something. She recommends things for my son to work on in between sessions and helps him prepare well for tests

Inside BlackwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ella worked on division strategies and solving time questions, focusing on interpreting word problems.

In Year 10, James tackled applications of differentiation and explored the fundamentals of circular motion using practical examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Hannah practiced drawing derivatives given the original function and analysed kinematics alongside circular motion and gravitation concepts from her physics curriculum.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student preparing for calculus and physics assessments had not completed enough revision between sessions, which meant he was less confident recalling methods under test conditions. As one tutor noted, "He hadn't done much revision between our last two sessions so needs to get plenty done to ensure he knows how to do everything before his two tests."

In Year 4, another struggled to remember conversions of time and money—such as minutes in an hour—when working independently at home. This led to confusion during homework tasks, especially when faced with worded questions requiring careful interpretation.

Recent Achievements

One Blackwood tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with exam revision now preparing independently and developing stronger strategies for interpreting equations—last session, he had already revised before the lesson and asked targeted questions about problem types.

In Year 8 science, a student who was previously passive during sessions recently started explaining her reasoning out loud as she tackled magnetic induction, which helped her clarify misunderstandings on the spot.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once kept answers in his head now eagerly walks through his problem-solving steps aloud and double-checks his division work before moving on.
