As a tutor, my job is to help a learner achieve their academic goals and guide them through their academic struggles. Therefore, as a tutor, I think the most important thing is to take the time to teach students according to their aptitude, which means that we need to be well prepared and know the students well in advance to support a valuable…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, foster independent thinking, and make learning feel achievable.

A tutor is not there to do a student's homework for them but rather to help them think and problem solve in new ways so that they can complete their work more effectively and be a more independent learner. Thus, a tutor can help by bringing with themselves a large amount of knowledge in the subject area(s) and by having a patient and understanding…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be empathetic. As much as a tutor can do, they could not change how their students are. Not only does the student have to understand the material, the tutor should understand their students first. One of my strengths as a tutor would be to connect theoretical concepts with real-life…

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…

I think the most important things a tutor can do is to make the content understandable rather than just helping to memorise it. But also to normalise mistakes and to assert the importance of educated guessing. Any student can learn faster by giving something a go rather than waiting until they are certain. I believe I can explain and break down…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is not only boost their confidence in a subject, but also their enthusiasm for the subject. Giving students who are bored with the content as they find it too easy more difficult problems peaks their interest, as I have seen in the past. Students who are struggling and as a result lose interest…

The most important thing would be to make sure that a student is able to understand a concept and not just make them able to answer questions through memorization. It's better if the students are able to understand a mathematical concept so that they would be able to answer any questions relating to it easier and not just similar questions that…

I think prioritizing students’ confidence establishment.

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 a tutor should show more care and patience to students. Especially for math, it is also important to…

Be a good listener, find and offer what a student needs from conversations; and be patient with any questions raised. A good tutor needs to know the content well before a lesson, and always encourage the students even if they answered the question wrong. Take care of the student and respect them. I'm a good listener and will change my teaching…

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.
