Tutor must be friendly and polite towards students.A tutor can develop the interest towards the subject and make learning fun and exciting. Different activities can enhance the interest in the topic.

I consider that a tutor most importantly can remove or lessen the weaknesses that may be holding back a student. This then enables them to work at the same level or in advance of their colleagues and fellow students, removing the feelings of inadequacy and giving self-efficacy. I have had many experiences in business and have much knowledge about…

The most important thing is to Listen. I feel like some tutors and teachers don't have the passion for actually teaching the students and just want to get it over with so they present with an almost "superior" attitude toward the student. Listening to what the students need or does not understand allows me to get to the bases of their lack of…

I think the greatest gift a tutor can provide to a student is support. School can often be an isolating and intimidating experience, and often students, despite being remarkably talented, feel afraid to take risks and go beyond what is expected of them. A tutor can also make the learning experience far more rewarding and enjoyable. Students feel…

I think an ideal tutor should teach to the student's strengths and minimise their weaknesses by helping them in their weak areas. It's also equally important to be compassionate and build rapport through empathy and effective communication. - I graduated from high school a few years ago, and I was my school topper consistently from year 3 to 12.…

I believe the most important things that a tutor can do for a student mainly relies on what the end goal of the student is. If it is just to get the homework done, it will get done. But, for me as a tutor, I would personally make sure that every student understands the concept from the beginning rather than providing a general overview. I believe…

Local Reviews

Utkrash has gone well with Declan. We are pleased with him.

Inside CarlingfordTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Alice focused on solving ratio word problems and worked through homework covering basic algebraic equations.

For Year 9, Daniel practised using angle rules for parallel lines and calculated the area of polygons as part of his current schoolwork.

In Year 11, Michael completed revision on probability and interest topics, including working through several trial paper questions to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student struggled to recall key decimal and unit conversion rules, which slowed progress in multi-step maths questions—"he needed a breakdown and stronger understanding of certain concepts."

Meanwhile, a senior student preparing for financial maths became stuck when analysing payment tables, hesitating over which formula to use and losing valuable test time.

In English, one high schooler's motivation dipped after setbacks with creative writing, making it harder to experiment with new techniques.

At primary level, a child repeatedly forgot homework due to focusing on practice tests; this left gaps in revision and caused confusion when similar topics reappeared.

Recent Achievements

One Carlingford tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to make frequent "silly mistakes" in maths now actively checks his working for errors and spends more time reading questions before answering.

In Year 11, a student who previously hesitated with annuities is confidently using future value tables on her own and tackling harder examples without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who struggled with rounding numbers has started explaining the rounding process out loud before solving, showing new independence during problem-solving. Last session, she rounded up to the nearest ten and completed all calculations correctly without reminders.

Local Spots for Tutoring
