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.
Being patient and having empathy is important in tutoring. This way, the tutor is able to understand what the student is feeling, and understand what is the best way to learn for them. I think my strength in tutoring is the sense of empathy that i am able to show. I believe that the tutor needs to be able to understand the student’s best…
The most important thing an economics tutor can do is create an environment in which the student feels comfortable asking questions and encouraging them to work hard and commit to learning. Big class settings can often see some students fall away in the mass, which means the one on one tutoring gives them the opportunity to be the sole focus, and…
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…
The most important thing for an economics tutor is to understand their student. All students have different strengths and weaknesses, and it is the responsibility of the tutor to understand their student as an individual in order to tutor in a way that is the most effective for a student to improve. For example, one of my students in the past…
I feel that an economics tutor can basically change a student's perception to a particular subject. A tutor has the power to build the foundations of a subject in a simplified and innovative way such that it is comprehended easily by the students. When it comes to teaching new concepts, I seldom go by the book. I think it is more important to give…
Encourage students to ask more questions and to engage them in the class. Make studying fun that students don’t think of it as a burden but rather as a way to gain more knowledge. I am a calm and patient person pumped up with knowledge. I am creative in the way I…
I think prioritizing students’ confidence establishment. When I was tutoring one Year 5 boy in Shanghai, I helped the boy to rebuild his confidence clarifying the knowledge structure and outlining every day possible targets with an interactive approach. The boy began to be vigorous in his studies and he scored 93/100 from 70/100 in his final.…
I understand that blindly teaching could not help students in understanding, it is necessary to understand or feel their struggles too. As students could be shy or embarrassed to ask questions and the learning progress would stop by there, thus an economics tutor should show more care and patience to students. Especially for math, it is also…
The most important things an economics tutor can do not only include teaching them concepts and knowledge, but also give them confidence and courage in creativity and innovation that prepare them well for future careers. With my strong and outstanding academic achievements in Maths, Biology and Economics, I can teach students learn faster and…
There are a couple of things which I think an economics tutor can do for their students
(1) Understand their way of thinking and interact in a way which is more familiar to them. A tutor must have different ways to put across the same concept to different students. A single way may not fit everyone.
(2) A tutor must be available for the…
With a background in Mathematics and Statistics, I derive genuine joy from teaching. My strength lies in simplifying complex concepts, being patient, and adapting to individual learning styles. The essence of tutoring, in my view, is not only imparting knowledge but also boosting confidence and problem-solving abilities. I strive to create a…
Well, I think the most important thing is interaction. When there is more interaction, student's learning become enjoyable.
Also, Using examples related to the real world. What is actually happening.
Lastly is patience. Being patience on the student and go with the student's pace and not the tutor's. I try to relate all my teaching to…
A tutor can give advice about future possibilites for a student considering their strengths and weaknesses. I'm flexible but also goal-oriented. I teach the way of thinking, not just steps in order to complete an…
Understanding their students' individual behaviour and their abilities to learn things.
A great teacher must take full responsibility of teaching their students by applying different methods of teaching if required. My strengths are problem solving mindset, patience, great listener and positive…
To understand the goal that the student wants to achieve in a certain topic. To encourage them and to put less weight on their shoulders by making their school workload easier in an efficient manner. My strengths, I think, as a tutor are being able to communicate, as communication is key to being able to process the knowledge being…
The best thing an economics tutor can do is leave a student with the tools, knowledge and confidence to continue advancing their academic career without relying on the tutor or teachers. I'm quite smart but also good at talking and listening to people. I see one of my strengths as being able to articulate an idea in a simple way, especially with…
Provide support to students in both the academic and mental difficulties they might be going through. Often as an economics tutor you must recognise that students who get tutoring need further help than what is being given and may have academic insecurity, so it is our role to help them improve on this and gain confidence in their learning, with…
The most important thing an economics tutor can do for a student is giving them confidence and equipping them with skills to find solutions on their own. Rather than simply copying a tutor's methods or solutions, it is essential that a student develops the skills to confidently approach new issues they could be faced with. One strength of mine is…
I see no student a failure, and I will take their failure as my own. The most quintessential thing any tutor can do is adapt to the student's way of thinking and guide them to success. When you help others, you grow in the process. There is no important thing an economics tutor can do for a student apart from working on themselves to aid the…
As said earlier, an economics tutor is not someone with a "rat-race" kind of approach to learning with zero engaging feats. The most important thing is being keen on motivation. Since I plan teaching students from a primary to higher level each level would require motivation in a very different way. For e.g. engaging primary level students with…
A tutor should be able to make a student understand what they are doing by providing practical examples or situations and going step by step in the process. Making students understand is more important than wanting them to memorise what they have been taught. I am good at explaining, try my best to work at student's phase so they understand well…
The biggest part of tutoring is adjusting to the various communication styles of each student, when students rely on visuals to understand a topic, the tutor needs to present graphs or sketches to exemplify formulas in a more visual manner when students prefer to learn using examples the topic needs to be translated into more tangible manners.…
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
Lucy is wonderful. Dominique is participating well in the sessions and covering areas I feel she requires assistance in.
Things are going well. Chris is doing a very good job. Since the tutoring sessions, my daughter seems to be more positive and has stated that Chris is explaining the work well, which makes it easier to understand. I am confident that this was the right decision and can't wait to see the results.
I would like to commend Mandy on her fantastic work with Jack. She has been so patient and we could not have asked for a better match with our son. Their hard work has paid off as we have received several comments from Jack's teacher telling us how well he is going in maths and that there has been an improvement.
