The most significant aspect of benefit which a tutor can imposed on a student is patience and the drive to ensure the student has received a full understanding of the topic. These two aspects require extensive skills of balance as imbalance amongst either aspect can create an uncomfortable experience of learning for students. As a tutor, from my…

For me, the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to set aside the necessary time and effort aside for each session. This is vital when helping the student to maintain their motivation and dedication to their work. Time management and the ability to plan each session; (some students may find it difficult to sort out for themselves…

I believe tutoring is important for students to identify specific issues that may present themselves. In a classroom environment, a teacher may not have the time to identify such problems where as tutoring can do so, especially for English and Mathematics.

At the end of a session, you want your student to understand the concept being taught, rather than blindly solving problems using formulae without understanding why. Targeting low-confidence areas: Most people like doing things they're good at but if you're already competent in those areas, you're just wasting time. This is why it's important…

This connection is important for many reasons, not only to be a good tutor but to also be a confidant in times of crisis. In the past I have worked with children who had special needs. Being close to the student…

Inside BlaxlandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Alexia revised multiplying and dividing algebraic expressions and practised simplifying equations using worksheets;

Year 9 student James focused on applying Pythagoras' Theorem to find unknown sides in triangles and reviewed expanding algebraic brackets;

meanwhile, Year 10 student Sam tackled Financial Maths by calculating GST, taxable income, and worked through exam-style problems involving percentages.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, one student hesitated to select problem-solving methods, leading to confusion when switching between addition/subtraction and multiplication. "He kept second-guessing which method fit the question," a tutor observed, resulting in lost time and uncertainty on mixed-topic assessments.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student's revision remained surface-level—they repeatedly reviewed only recent topics rather than integrating older material, so concepts like ratios or long division slipped from memory during tests.

For a younger primary learner, inconsistent letter formation caused mix-ups with 'j' and 'i,' slowing reading progress and making spelling corrections harder during writing activities.

Recent Achievements

One Blaxland tutor noticed a Year 9 student who'd previously second-guessed every algebra question start working through problems without pausing to ask for reassurance, especially when multiplying expressions.

In another session, a Year 10 student tackling Financial Maths shifted from skipping difficult exam prep questions to actively working through them and asking for help only after trying different approaches herself.

Meanwhile, a younger student who once lost focus during reading tasks began volunteering to read new words aloud and now finishes spelling lists with few corrections—last week she spelled every word correctly on her test.

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 Blaxland Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Blaxland Public School.
