The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is listen to them. If a student does not understand what they are learning they will express that. All we have to do is listen I have the life experience to know that not everyone learns the same therefore I know to approach topics in many different…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is understand how they learn and ensure the student feels comfortable. A tutor should be the person a student can be open with if they don't understand something without feeling embarrassed or dumb. By understanding how the student learns both the tutor and the student can make the most of the…

Take an interest in them. Make sure they know that you care about them, their success and their learning. I think that I am able to keep the classes relaxed and get the students comfortable with me as a tutor. I want them to feel that they are my friend so that they can express their concerns and doubts. I think that I do that well. I make the…

To help them find and understand the answers themselves, opposed to just being told answers, or given formulas without proper explanation. This helps them not only understand there answers but also question answers they believe to be incorrect. I have good communication skills and I'm very patient. I also feel that my enjoyment for these subjects…

A tutor can help create a safe environment for a child to voice their concerns with learning which they may feel unable to do in a class setting. Having one-on-one tutor sessions can also help a child to target exactly what they are struggling with. A tutor also has more time with that student to assess what they are good at in order to keep…

English Tutor Shortland, NSW
The biggest thing would be to help students understand that ignorance is not failure. Just because they don't know something "basic", that does not mean they are worse than others, or are stupider, or are not going to succeed. It simply means they were not taught in a way that makes sense to them. This could be for a number of reasons, and not…

Inside BoolarooTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Tiffany completed a quick maths assessment to pinpoint areas needing support, including key Year 9 topics and problem-solving.

For Year 11, Lucy revised important trigonometric concepts and then focused on algebraic techniques commonly assessed in senior exams, working through these with summary sheets.

In Year 12, Sam tackled HSC practice questions on simultaneous equations and trigonometry using past exam papers, honing skills with step-by-step solutions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student, while revising Normal Distribution problems, struggled to identify "trick" elements and missed subtle shifts in question types—this led to confusion during practice tests.

In Year 9 algebra, one student left working incomplete when rearranging equations; as a tutor noted, "he skipped steps in the algebra, which hid sign errors."

A senior preparing for HSC exams was late submitting required practice work and had not reviewed past mistakes, resulting in repeated misunderstandings with formula-based questions.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner hesitated to write down workings for multi-step multiplication, slowing problem-solving and leaving gaps in her process.

Recent Achievements

A Boolaroo tutor recently noticed a big step forward with a Year 10 student who, after previously skipping steps and feeling lost in worded problems, now carefully works through each stage and successfully interprets what's being asked.

Another high schooler showed new independence in financial maths—where he once needed help to spot key variables, he now picks them out and solves multi-step questions without prompting.

In a younger session, one Year 3 student managed to get two tricky questions right that he'd missed last time, showing clear progress by tackling the same problems again and getting them correct.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Daman was tutoring me in math to help me pass an army test and i ended up passing my test last week. He has helped me improve in math which I've been struggling with when growing up and as I will now be teaching myself improve more and more in math using his method as I believe it really helped me. I wouldn't have passed the test without him so hats off to this bloke.

Jason has been to our home 3 times now and we could not be more pleased. He is a very polite respectful young guy. More importantly Matthew really likes him and says is he is really helping him. Jason said today that he could see improvement. More than happy to continue.

Adrianna has only had the 1 lesson with Lidia. She was fabulous. Adrianna was keen to see her again. We did see improvement just after the first visit.

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 Speers Point Library, milyaba—or at your child's school (with permission), like Boolaroo Public School.
