Biology Tutor Kellyville, NSW
The most important things tutors can do is to be enthusiastic and engaging about the subject their teaching their student because this then allows students to believe too, that the subject they're learning is not boring or bad. Moreover, tutors must have confidence in their student in succeeding and doing well, in which the Pygmalion effect proves…

Biology Tutor Eastwood, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to recognise that every student has different learning styles, strengths and weaknesses. Being patient and working at the student's pace is incredibly important in promoting a positive learning environment. Allowing the student to feel comfortable in asking questions they might not otherwise…

Biology Tutor Eastwood, NSW
A tutor should provide guidance and assistance at all costs for the student they are teaching. It is the tutors responsibility to do the best they can in order to help the student reach their potential. A tutor should sometimes take a step further to care for the student and a lot of the times the student will reciprocate your effort to create a…

Biology Tutor Kellyville, NSW
Firstly, a tutor must be kind and caring of the student's situation, and must be able to quickly determine the best method of teaching for that particular student. Only then can the tutor raise the motivation and enthusiasm of the student which is crucial in allowing them to learn at the optimum level. Once they are learning at this level, their…

Biology Tutor Denistone, NSW
I think that tutors must have patience and understand that learning may be slower at some times than others and that all students have different needs. Lessons need to be tailored to each individual's skill level Strenghts: passionate, educated, results driven, conscientious Weaknesses: too passionate, too results driven I want to see my students…

Biology Tutor Denistone, NSW
A tutor can be many things for a student. Not only can they be an avenue where they can learn in a different way which may be the student's way of learning, but also they can be a mentor for them in that they can give different insights and views, as well as being someone who listen, and if wanted, suggestions and advice. I can explain concepts…

Local Reviews

The information on the website was incredibly helpful to find a tutor / read profiles. Communication once contacted was very prompt and professional as well as supportive in terms of our special requirements. Although the tutor we had chosen wasn't available they provided us with another tutor option who was perfect. The ongoing follow up and support resources have been a great asset to our new tutoring journey.

Inside CherrybrookTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Aanya worked on addition and subtraction of fractions as well as finding fractions of quantities, using number lines to support understanding.

In Year 8, Sam tackled linear equations and practiced solving two- and three-step equations, along with revising ratios and rates in preparation for an upcoming assessment.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student James focused on HSC Chemistry past papers, specifically refining skills in Module 6 calculations and analyzing Module 7 reaction pathways.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student often avoided writing out working for algebra and fractions, saying, "I can do this in my head"—but missed marks on questions that required clear steps.

For a Year 9 learner preparing for a test, unfinished practice papers meant tricky word problems remained unmastered; as one tutor noted, "he needed to finish more practice tests to feel ready."

In senior Chemistry (Year 12), long response answers were incomplete because not all components of the marking criteria were addressed, resulting in lost exam points despite sound content knowledge. The pressure of time left some key details omitted.

Recent Achievements

A Cherrybrook tutoring session saw a Year 9 student, who'd previously needed reminders to apply strategies for fraction-to-decimal conversion, independently use the right method after just a brief review.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student who often hesitated with multi-step chemistry calculations managed several complex Mod 6 problems without prompting—an improvement from earlier sessions where step-by-step guidance was needed throughout.

For a younger primary student, one tutor noted that subtraction and addition are now completed solo rather than requiring hints at each step; last week he finished all his set questions without asking for help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Sophie is very happy with Jane as a tutor.  Jane is extremely diligent - we have the complication of the UK syllabi and Jane has taken a lot of trouble in her own time, to check up on what Sophie should be learning !

Hello and thank you for your email. We are happy with Philip's progress in these few weeks as you suggest I am sure more time is needed for him to be more confident . We are also happy with his tutor he is very well spoken, polite and gets on well with my son so far.

Thanks Gene, so far, Jamie's response has been very good.  He has had 2 lessons to date, as last week was cancelled at our request (he was away on camp). Jamie has responded very well to Eshan, who's approach is unassuming, gentle, but persuasive and constructive.  Jamie actually looks forward to spending time with Eshan to teach him his Maths strategies. We look forward to seeing Eshan again next week. Thanks also for the newsletter.  I have to say that I think your supportive written material is very useful!

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 Pennant Hills Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like John Purchase Public School.
