I think it is key to identify their individual needs and tailor your teaching style and strategies accordingly. I believe that I have a strong understanding of the…

The Important thing is to give students a sense of confidence in their ability. This will require the tutor to integrate complex ideas into simple, straightforward concepts. Once the student realizes their capability, they can endure failures, learn from mistakes and try again. My strength as a tutor is definitely my close and friendly…

I believe that a tutor should be extremely cautious in what they say; can everything be supported with a logical statement? Because the steps the tutors take to construct the answer are how the students learn from them, a tutor must prepare well and be confident and knowledgeable of what they are giving to the students. It's not about providing…

I think patience is the most important skill a tutor can have. Some students don't understand a concept right away, I had to have a concept explained to me multiple times before and if the tutor was patient I was not scared to ask. I think as I have been tutored before I knew what worked for me and what didn't so I could apply those ideas. This…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to be supportive. Even the students struggling the most always have something they're doing well. The tutors job is to highlight that and develop skills to transfer those proficiencies to other areas of the subject. Furthermore the tutor must be patient. A student is there because they need help and are…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to enable a student with essential skills, both related to subject taught, as well as life skills. In this way, the student can go on to become an independent learner. My strengths are in being able to put myself in the child's shoes and explain the way he/she wants it. My weakness is that I often give…

Be there to challenge them but more importantly encourage them.

In my opinion, a teacher must always be willing to learn those concepts for his students which they want to know. Also , a teacher must even provide them with some learning methods so that they can get grasp over any topic easily. Moreover, a teacher must always motivate a student and help him to think out of a box. Apart from that, teacher can…

A tutor must be able to develop and understand a student.

Inside BurraneerTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 Thomas reviewed addition, subtraction, telling time, basic shapes, and skip counting to assess his current maths level.

For Year 9 Maddie, recent sessions explored angle relationships such as co-interior, alternate, corresponding, supplementary, and complementary angles using visual examples.

Meanwhile, Year 10 James focused on solving algebraic equations where x is negative and practiced converting units for weight measurement.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 maths, a student often jumped straight to answers without showing working—he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors. This meant extra time was spent hunting for mistakes instead of progressing.

For a Year 12 humanities subject, one student collected sources after completing work rather than during research; as a result, it was harder to recall references when writing essays.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's untidy handwriting made numbers hard to read, occasionally causing confusion between 6 and 8 on division problems. In the moment, misreading their own work led to calculation slips and frustration.

Recent Achievements

During a Burraneer tutoring session, a high school student began to tackle complex equations independently after initially relying on step-by-step guidance; she's now explaining why each part works before moving forward.

Another tutor noticed a Year 11 student who once hesitated with probability now choosing to attempt harder revision problems unprompted and applying correct terminology throughout.

In humanities, Maiee, who previously struggled to connect sources with essay questions, is now matching evidence directly to rubric points and exploring how different perspectives could shape her argument.

Last week, she drafted an outline for an essay using her own source selections.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Deepti has been tutoring my daughter for 1 year now. I am so happy with the difference it has made to my daughters understanding of a subject that she was very behind in and I was very concerned.

Shruti helped me so much in my yr 12 studies as a school friend. She is extremely intelligent and has a lot of patience. Shruti gave me the skills and confidence in my learning and allowed me to succeed in yr 12. Shruti is like a big sister to me, I highly recommend everyone to choose her as a tutor.

Everything is going very well, thank you very much, we are very happy with the tutoring Harshdeep is providing to Manon, he is very thorough.

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 Cronulla Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Aloysius College Cronulla.
