Most important thing I believe a tutor can do for a student is to influence the student to become more ambitious and help them learn things quickly and in a more smarter way. Ability to understand each student's calibre and teach according to it in a simpler and friendly…

Modern History Tutor Wallsend, NSW
The most important thing to do for students is to listen and know how they learn. Knowing their capabilities is needed in order to challenge them while making sure they are engaged and interested in what is being taught or reviewed. I have previous experience tutoring 1on1 and in small groups. Currently I am studying a Bachelor of Education…

Modern History Tutor Jewells, NSW
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…

Modern History Tutor Elermore Vale, NSW
I believe a tutor is all about being able to be the middle man between teachers and students. They are able to act in a professional manner but also can individually suit the needs of a specific student. In doing this tutors are able to fill in those missing links and hopefully create a sense of confidence in students that they might otherwise…

Modern History Tutor Waratah West, NSW
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…

Modern History Tutor Maryville, NSW
Understanding the student is the most primary thing. Without understanding the student you can explain him an entire Library and the student will still be an illiterate or at worse develop fear or disinterest in learning. Connection, understanding, acknowledging and tailoring my approach towards each individual who's different from the…

Inside CharlestownTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Liam focused on mastering the quadratic formula and completing the square to solve quadratic equations, working through targeted practice problems.

For Year 10, Jade explored financial mathematics concepts, including calculating simple interest from worded scenarios and breaking down compound interest and depreciation questions into steps.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student, Michael, revised preliminary HSC topics in calculus—differentiation basics—and strengthened his understanding of functions and polynomials by tackling past exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, one student showed gaps in test time management—"struggled to finish the final questions on algebra under timed conditions," as noted by a tutor.

In Year 11 Chemistry, another student avoided checking calculator inputs during titration calculations, leading to errors that went unnoticed until reviewing answers later.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner hesitated to write down working for multiplication problems, preferring mental calculation but often losing track of place value beyond thousands.

During senior Biology revision, reluctance to actively quiz themselves before exams meant important concepts remained untested—confidence dipped when unexpected topics appeared in practice papers.

Recent Achievements

A Charlestown tutor noticed one Year 11 student who used to rush through financial maths now double-checks each step and can interpret tricky worded questions with far less prompting, a big shift from needing hints every few minutes.

In Year 9, a student who was hesitant to speak up started telling the tutor when she hit a roadblock, then worked through indices problems independently by naming her mistakes out loud—something she'd avoided before.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner surprised everyone by nailing all his addition and subtraction tasks, even pushing himself to tackle more complex numbers after finishing early.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Esme has connected with her tutor and is progressing well. We are pleased with the progress so far.

Tutoring seems to be going well. I think both Matthew and Abbey are starting to settle into a routine. Abbey has started to apply some of the methods Matthew has shown her to school work. She has come home from school a couple of times now, saying she was asked a question during maths time and got it right. Which, of course, she was very happy about! Within the next few weeks, I will receive Abbey's report for semester 1. I will show Matt, so he has even more understanding of her needs. I'm looking forward to seeing what they achieve in the coming months.

Georgia and myself are very happy with our tutor, Jess. They have a good rapport together and Georgia improved in confidence and Maths already.

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 Charlestown Library, walyamayi—or at your child's school (with permission), like Charlestown Public School.
