To be a good tutor, I feel like you need to be personally connected with your students. Each student has their own unique situation whether it be family or academic and as a tutor, you must be able to work with what your students have. After all, I believe that is the role of a tutor; to help students build upon what they have and then help them…

Many modern teachers believe the way to teach is to go through the content directly and straightforwardly. However, inspired by Eddie Woo, I strive to deconstruct complex concepts into simple and relatable ideas, to not only pique students' interests but also to invite them to ask further questions to consolidate their understanding. I understand…

A tutor or at least a teacher is someone who can give students a helping hand, perhaps a friend is too informal but someone they can relate to. I think being able to understand your student and what makes them improve or how they can improve is also essential as a tutor and a teacher. It is useless to spoon feed facts and knowledge to a student if…

Learning skills allow for the child to develop their own interests and pursue them further beyond the idea of exams and tests. I hope that my valuable skills allow for students to become high achievers, both in the academic situation and…

A tutor should identify the students' areas of weakness and focus on helping the students gain knowledge in these areas rather than teaching the student what they already know.

Inside BlakehurstTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Blake worked on understanding circumference, radius, and diameter of circles as well as converting between units of measurement.

In Year 8, Sam tackled algebra by expanding and simplifying equations before starting to plot points and solve linear equations using step-by-step methods.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Alex reviewed trigonometry concepts in preparation for an upcoming test and clarified key statistical terminology during the lesson.

Recent Challenges

Solving questions passively led a Year 8 student to frequent calculation errors in long division, especially when several steps were involved.

In a recent Year 10 session, one learner hesitated to write out their working in algebra because of nerves about making mistakes. This slowed progress and made it hard to spot where they went wrong.

A younger student (Year 5) often left homework incomplete and sometimes mixed up key vocabulary like 'radius' and 'diameter,' which then affected their confidence tackling new geometry problems. These habits led to missed connections and slower improvement between sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Blakehurst tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to hesitate with exam-style algebra questions now tackling the trickier ones independently and even working through mistakes without frustration.

A Year 9 session saw a student who'd previously mixed up angle types not only recalling geometric terms but using a protractor correctly for the first time.

In primary, a Year 4 learner has started finishing homework before lessons—something she hadn't done until last month—and solved two-digit multiplication using the "smile" method all on her own during their latest session.

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 South Hurstville—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mater Dei Catholic Primary School.
