The most important things a physics tutor can do are build confidence, make learning feel manageable, and create a safe space where students are not afraid to make mistakes. A tutor should guide students to understand why something works, not just memorise it, and support them in developing strong study habits and independence. My strengths are…
In my opinion, the most important thing a physics tutor can do is to inspire curiosity and a passion for learning in their students. Academic knowledge from a tutor may sometimes be limited or even incorrect, but if students are motivated to learn, they will invest time in researching and expanding their understanding. Besides, a positive attitude…
The most important thing a physics tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence and help them believe that they can achieve anything with effort and persistence. A tutor should encourage curiosity, create a safe space for asking questions, and help students stay focused on their learning goals. In addition, being patient and…
I think the most important things a physics tutor can do for a student is teach a student how to be conscientious in their work, how to learn effectively and efficiently, and problem solve for themselves. These traits are important life skills that can be gained through education/schooling that they will inevitably have to apply in their…
The most important thing for a physics tutor is to never underestimate a student, and to be there for them as a support and to show them that they can. If a student loses self esteem and think that they can't do it...they wont. It's all about giving them a healthy mindset which allows them to gain the knowledge given. My biggest strength i believe…
Develop a good rapport with the student so they are open to expressing their fears/weaknesses. Where the student does not open us, assess exactly which area the student needs help in and focus their energy there. I develop professional relationships with pupils quite easily, and that helps break the ice. They are more open to receiving coaching. I…
Being in their corner, as it isn't always about understanding but also confidence. Having someone with experience confirming your readiness is always helpful. I am patient and provide different ways if the student is…
Tutors are important elements for student success in active learning and problem solving environments . Periodic evaluation of tutors professional behaviour helps to determine the faculty development. Tutors need to achieve skills and attitudes for supporting the 'learning process and metacognitive knowledge' and 'assessing and giving feedback'.…
Motivating students to achieve their best! By having a strong understanding in my area of studies, I am able to explain complex and abstract concepts to students by simplifying them down.

Equipping a student with multiple tools to be able to problems in multiple different ways. Finding multiple paths to solve problems, Adapting to the student i’m tutoring & Being able to concisely convey…
The most important thing a physics tutor can do for a student other than helping them with their school studies, is guiding them and providing them with the drive and the motivation to continuously do better, no matter what. My strengths as a tutor are that I know the syllabus requirements well, as I have sat HSC, and I love engaging with students…
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to ensure that they understand what they are learning instead of providing them with the answer. It is often the case when explaining something to a student and they say they understand, however it is clear they do not. Being persistent and patient with students is far more…
Inside Bonnie BrookTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
What they say about our tutoring
Sessions are going really well.
Hasnat and Charlotte are building a good rapport.
She is very happy with the sessions, and they are communicating well.
So all good!
Lille has taken well to tutoring so far and Jackie is a great match for Lille so we are happy.
So far all is good. Lili and Jasmine get along lovely and she is teaching Jasmine some math tricks which is great. Jasmine is more keen to practice her maths also.
