Geography Tutor Randwick, NSW
I believe the most important thing about a tutor is being able to provide self-confidence for the student. I do this through encouragement catered both individually and to the group (if there is one). I have found that when students believe they have the ability to complete the question, they are more likely to ask questions and understand the…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to listen to them because the student is the one who knows what they're struggling with and they are the ones who are going to tell me what they need to learn. Furthermore, I think it is important to teach students how to learn and study so that they can keep learning and working…

One of the aspects of tutoring that I try to do is to not only teach content, but also show students different ways to learn. Rather than wrote learning, it is so important to work with the individual student to discover what learning style suits them best and how you, as a tutor, can adjust your teaching style to fit their needs.…

Finding other ways of working out a problem. If something has been said and isn’t ‘going in’ we can try a visual approach or written down approach, whatever works for the student .

It’s essential to break down complex concepts into manageable parts and explain them in a way that makes sense to the student. Using analogies, visual aids, and real-world examples can be very effective. Establishing a supportive and non-judgmental atmosphere where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes is vital for…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to not give all the answers or talk about specific or complicated concepts for an extended period of time, but instead, find how the student learns best and teach this way. Listening, understanding and providing constructive feedback further can additionally help both parties in learning.…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be a positive guiding light.

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is get them to enjoy what they are learning. As soon as someone enjoys what they are doing then it makes them more receptive to learn and also allows them to retain the information better. Along with this I believe it is important for a tutor to ensure that the student completely…

First and foremost, a tutor must TEACH, rather than demonstrate. The student should UNDERSTAND what was taught, rather than just know how to apply formulae, solve equations, etc. mindlessly. Understanding is the foundation on which more understanding can be built. Tricker questions in exams test understanding rather than repetition. For the best…

Empathy is key. If a tutor can show how learning certain topics can help a student in the future, it keeps the student's interest held in the subject for longer. What really helps is to periodically give some positive feedback to the student about their progress - how he or she has improved in the past 3 months, or month, for example. Because of…

The most important thing to me is creating the networks for students to think for and teach themselves whenever our time is up. It's the classic saying, "give a man a fish he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll eat for his whole life". A tutor should, like any good teacher, provide the student with the tools to critically evaluate…

I think the most important stuff a tutor can do is boost confidence to students. You have to make students believe they can tackle anything.

Thanks for all your help with Griffin over the years. Its really made a difference to his grades.

Inside ClovellyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Oliver focused on converting between decimals and fractions as well as simplifying mixed and improper fractions.

For Year 9, Ava worked through compound interest calculations and compared simple versus compound investments using value tables.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Jack tackled factorisation methods in algebra along with more complex problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions by applying factorisation strategies.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student tackling trigonometry found multi-step sine and cosine rule questions challenging when working alone; the tutor noted, "he needed guidance to find relevant angles," revealing a struggle to persist through complex problems without support.

In Year 11 Maths, worded income tax and commission problems proved overwhelming—questions with dense text led to missed steps and confusion.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student's written work remained difficult to follow due to unorganized note-taking in probability tasks: "notes were scattered across the page."

Not putting pen to paper during homework left gaps that made it tough for tutors to pinpoint sources of confusion.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Clovelly noticed a Year 9 student who used to avoid asking for help now openly requests clarification when stuck, especially with factorisation questions—an important shift from silent guessing.

In Year 11, one student recently corrected their own homework errors after carefully reviewing feedback, showing genuine independence that wasn't there before.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner who had struggled with long division earlier in the year has begun explaining solution steps out loud while working through problems and now completes them confidently without guidance. Last session, they finished an entire worksheet alone.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Good afternoon. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for sending Justin as Arin's tutor. He has been wonderful and has helped Arin greatly to achieve a better result as well as boosting his confidence. Thank you so much to your friendly team and of course to Justin.

Diana is terrific.  She's on time, very patient and Declan feels he is now understanding the basic concepts.  It will take time but Diana will get there with Dec

At this stage we are very happy. Nick likes Tharaka and his overall attitude to maths has changed. He is quite happy to give things a go. His confidence is building.

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 Randwick Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Anthony's Catholic Primary School.
