Tutors in City include high-achieving graduates, experienced teachers, subject specialists, and passionate mentors from top Australian universities. Many have received academic awards or hold advanced degrees, and all share a genuine commitment to helping students succeed.
A good tutor should be the guidance for their students. During my time as a tutor, I always help my students to learn their fear during their studies and encourage them to reach out to me whenever there is concept that they do not understand. It is crucial to also motivate my students to achieve their learning goals and mentor them through their…
Teach them how to think independently, and provide them with a way of thinking efficiently.
Math is not a discipline in which someone does enough problems and can solve all the problems, but a discipline that requires people to constantly think about questions. So if one only knows to let students do lots of problems then he might not be a good…
To make learning enjoyable rather than seeing it as an obstacle in their way. By enjoying what is being learnt, more effort is put in to study the subject which can ultimately positively impact ones grades I am very flexible in my teaching styles and accomodate my teaching methods to suit the student. I am very patient and have good listening…
Being patient to student would give a safe and supported environment for them to at least not reject study. As a tutor, this is the basic needs, then tutor should guide them find what their strengths are, what area that they need improvement, as well as their critical thinking. It would be my patience, i think it is very important as a tutor to be…
One of the most important things that a tutor can do for students is help them find what they are learning is full of fun. Interest is the best teacher. When students like a subject, they are more willing to put in more time to practice and learn about it. As a tutor, there is only a very limited hours that I can accompany my student. Therefore,…
I think the most important thing is to inspire students to learn more and improve in their own respective ways, as it is crucial that we teach them methods of how to learn instead of just force-feeding knowledge. Tutors should teach strategies that are easily implementable for a variety of situations so that students can confidently adapt their…
One of the most important things a tutor can do is instil a sense of passion for the subject. The student should feel comfortable going to class and doing the homework afterwards. The tutor should be assisting and looking out for concepts and gaps that the student might have and fill these gaps. On top of this, I want to be able to change a…
A tutor should enable students to have richer theoretical knowledge and establish their own knowledge system, so as to better help students understand and understand the world. I am patient. I prefer teaching and entertaining methods to rigid education…
Inside CityTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
What they say about our tutoring
Karina is lovely and I think she will work out just fine. Amelia is very happy with her and they seem to be getting along fine.
I hadnt realised Amelia was so far behind, and am actually glad she asked me to find help.
We are really happy with Hayoli as a tutor. I don't like to compare but she is 100% better at explaining things than the last tutor. The difference is quite amazing actually. She is very efficient, just comes straight in and gets straight to work. No chit chat at all (which I don't mind). She actually brings in resources that she thinks will help Amy and seems like she has a plan, rather than just turning up with nothing prepared. I can highly recommend Hayoli.
Thankyou for finding Hayoli for us. She is amazing,
Thank you for the email.
I just want to tell you how happy we are with Lisa.
Because of that two hour block right before his math half year exam, his grade has already improved.
I am ver impressed with Lisa professionalism and her preparedness.
Andrew enjoys math tutoring with Lisa.
