I think the biggest benefit a tutor can have is to help instill in a student a sense of confidence in their ability to learn. Regardless of how much subject matter a student is able to retain, they will have a lot of learning to do beyond when they are being tutored, so I believe it is at least as important for students to be ‘learning how to…

It's the responsibility of a tutor to meet students where they are at. Tutors should come to learn the boundaries of what their students do and do not understand and create structure and context for pushing those boundaries to ultimately envelop the knowledge they need to succeed. This can sometimes mean "back-filling" missing knowledge or…

- I believe the most important thing for a tutor to do is to set a role model and attempt to invigorate a strong love of learning within the student. By doing this, the tutor can give the student an opportunity to make greater academic progress individually in combination with the tutor. - Obviously, tutors must also be able to effectively assist…

One of the most important skills I believe a tutor can develop is the art of explaining material in different ways. Often, when students struggle to understand some concept, explaining the material in the same way repeatedly does not help. The key then is to try approaching the material in different ways until the student can grasp it. Past tutees…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to create an environment which will enable them to feel comfortable while studying and be a good listener and teach a student how to learn. I can help my students engage in the study. I can help them analyse their weakness and find ways to improve them. I am always helping them to grow…

Prior to anything a tutor must undertand the student's goals and objectives. It is only after this that the tutor should then understand what kind of person the student is, motivational factors behind the interest in learning, and how to communicate more effectively when transfering knowledge. The student's personality is also a key factor to…

Inside ClarevilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Max worked on converting fractions to decimals and tackled multi-digit multiplication, using step-by-step written algorithms.

For Year 8, Sarah focused on surface area and volume calculations for cylinders, pyramids, and cones, applying formulas to solve real-world problems.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ethan reviewed trigonometry involving angles of elevation and depression by drawing diagrams and working through practice questions together.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student's written solutions in algebra and consumer arithmetic were sometimes unclear, making it harder to spot errors like missing units—she needs to be more careful in writing the correct units for consumer arithmetic problems.

In Year 11, formula recall slowed down progress with bearings and financial maths questions; not having key relationships on hand meant extra time searching or guessing.

A Year 4 learner hesitated with mental subtraction, relying on fingers rather than building number sense, especially when crossing tens. This led to delays and frustration during timed drills.

Recent Achievements

A Clareville tutor recently saw a Year 11 student who'd previously mixed up logarithm rules score 88% on her exam, only slipping on minor log law errors she now recognizes herself.

In a Year 9 session, a student who used to guess at which formula to use now sketches out diagrams and confidently selects the right equation before starting calculations.

Meanwhile, one of the younger students has moved away from counting on fingers for addition—he's begun using 'rainbow' number bonds instead, especially with larger sums—and even volunteered to add by twenties without prompting.

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 Avalon Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Bilgola Plateau Public School.
