A tutor is an educator who can provide students with extra support when they are lacking confidence and understanding in the chosen subject area. The roles of a tutor, like teachers, are to assist students academically and emotionally so they will be doused with the experiences and skills that they need to succeed in the working environment or in…

Modern History Tutor Cabramatta, NSW
Any tutor, mentor, educator, or teacher all have something different to offer their students: but the goal is the same and it should be this: to help empower those who can't empower themselves in order to bring forth the best version of that individual into the world. It is through education, knowledge and the reciprocation of knowledge that…

Modern History Tutor Cabramatta, NSW
When I was at school, my favourite teachers were always the relatable ones who were genuinely interested in me, my hobbies and my life. 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…

Modern History Tutor Fairfield East, NSW
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is listen to what they are asking, and targeting their weak areas within the prospective subject. By doing so the tutor should aim to tailor each lesson accordingly. I think my strengths as a tutor would be my perseverance, clarity when explaining concepts, the ability to identify a…

Modern History Tutor Abbotsbury, NSW
The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with the clarity, assistance and tools to successfully solve a problem or write an essay interdependently. My strengths as a tutor are that I'm patient, persistent, hardworking and the fact that I ensure I provide students with an understanding of concepts by providing…

Modern History Tutor Cabramatta, NSW
I believe tutors need to understand their students, given that not all individuals hold the same skills or pace of learning and as such, need to be taken into consideration or have the lesson plans catered to their needs. Tutors must, nonetheless, put in large amounts of effort to ensure the student receives and understands theory that is taught,…

Modern History Tutor
Being able to give them the independence of trying a question and then spending a reasonable amount of time trying to solve it rather than only explaining for the full tutoring session. My strength would be pinpointing what the student doesn't understand and using analogies or using patterns from concepts they already understand to portray the…

We have been extremely pleased with John’s progress with Aaron this year. He has been very patient and caring and we appreciate everything he has done with Aaron this year. They really were a great tutor/student combination.

Inside BusbyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Jay worked through multiplying and dividing indices as well as solving linear equations, focusing on step-by-step methods for each.

Year 11 student Emma tackled differentiation using the chain rule and first principles, then applied these skills to real HSC-style questions.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Daniel practiced statistical analysis by interpreting different types of graphs and calculating z-scores within the context of normal distribution problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student often chose to solve equations mentally rather than writing out steps, making it hard to spot errors and "see the steps that he's taking."

In Year 11, messy working—especially when using too much space—meant calculations for complex algebra became difficult to follow, even for the student.

A Year 12 learner struggled with long worded questions in trial exam preparation; confusion arose from not clearly identifying objectives within problems.

Another senior student hesitated to check answers or would second-guess himself after setbacks. This left him unsure if his solutions were truly correct under pressure.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Busby noticed a big shift with Aryan (Year 10): he used to get stuck when tackling unfamiliar maths problems, but recently started breaking down harder questions into smaller steps on his own—something he avoided before.

Anne (Year 12) had struggled to re-learn older algebra topics, yet this week she worked through revision problems more quickly and even solved equations without needing prompts.

Meanwhile, Daniel (Year 9) has become much more proactive; rather than glossing over mistakes from his last exam, he now looks back at his working out to spot and correct errors himself.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thanks for your note. It seems to be off to s good start. We appreciate maths coaching and look forward to seeing Louisa and India work together.

As far as I know, the tutoring is going well. They actually meet at Sydney University library as it is a handy meeting point for both of them and a good place for them to work. I believe that they have a good understanding between them but I will talk to Georgina again today after her lesson.

Andrew is a great tutor, always on time & he is a very polite young man. He is very good at explaining & teaching Georgia short cuts. They get on well which helps & she is happy learning maths.

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 Green Valley Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like James Busby High School.
