The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not only teach the material, but find a way to communicate it effectively. Learning is not only memorization but finding ways to understand and apply this knowledge. In my university course, as well as my experience with high school, we are taught to communicate our math and explain our…

A tutor should not just teach, but they should listen to their students, seek feedback and use that to improve their teaching. It is important to develop trust with students so that they feel comfortable asking questions, expressing their concerns and identifying topics that they may want to strengthen. In doing so, the tutor can gain a greater…

Having both been the tutee and the tutor, I believe that it is imperative that a tutor is supportive of the student and caters their teaching to the student's specific needs. Tutoring is only truly effective when the student is completely engaged with the tutor and I believe that this can only happen when the student believes that they are in an…

I think the most important thing may be to identify the individual needs of the student.

When this was followed up, it made a very positive impact on the student's learning outcomes. I believe that…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is give them a personalised teaching experience.

A tutor needs to provide their student with support, tools, skills and most importantly understanding of how they can effectively approach their studies and achieve the best possible results they can. A tutor should also make their student feel comfortable, creating a sense of trust between them and allowing for more effective tutoring sessions.…

As a tutor, it is important that you pass on the right knowledge to the student. Make them think about things by themselves instead of giving them straight away. A tutor, shouldn't discourage students if they ask a dumb question, they should resolve all their queries with a good understanding. A tutor's job is to support a student and be curious…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to challenge yet support them in their studies. By challenging the student to do better, yet simultaneously reminding them that it is okay to fail, the student will feel inspired enough to try. Furthermore, it is extremely important to build a personal relationship with the…

It is crucial that a tutor be patient with students and understanding of their learning background.

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…

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…

Both Natalia and Kiara are very happy with Abigail and things are starting off really great.

Inside CollaroyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Anan focused on PEEL paragraph structure with an emphasis on crafting clear topic sentences, and analysed poetry by Auden.

Year 12 sessions included detailed comparative analysis of The Tempest and Hag-Seed for the Textual Conversations module, as well as composing creative responses that explored Atwood's reimagining of imprisonment themes.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student worked through algebraic equations and practiced interpreting functions and their graphs using real examples from recent homework.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 English, writing habits affected progress: planning was often skipped, leading to weak thesis statements and underdeveloped essay structure. One tutor noted, "He started essays without a clear plan, which made topic sentences vague."

In Year 9 Mathematics, over-reliance on finger counting for times tables slowed down complex multiplication; a student repeatedly paused during multi-step problems to count rather than recall.

Meanwhile, in Year 8 Science projects, translating research into presentation format proved challenging—notes were gathered but not organized into a final product.

Each instance left less time for deeper analysis or independent application of skills.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Collaroy noticed a Year 11 student who, after previously struggling to connect ideas in essays, now confidently links and explains her arguments using improved PEEL structures.

Another high school student made a noticeable leap by applying formulas independently to tackle complex area questions—something he found daunting just weeks ago.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who was hesitant to ask questions now enthusiastically seeks clarification and has begun tackling long multiplication without prompting.

Last session, she completed all her single-digit multiplication problems from memory and explained each step aloud.

What they say about our tutoring

We are really happy with Vivienne. She is very patient and explains things extremely clearly. Already had a 74% which for a child who is almost maths dialexic this was fabulous. Anyway we are very happy with her Thankyou

Hi Erica, thank you for your email. Things have started well with Jacob and hopefully they will continue in the same way. I think in this case, the difference for Jamie is that she can ask Jacob about a problem that she is struggling with and he can answer her straight away. Vivian was able to answer her too but it took her longer and I think the time factor was what was frustrating Jamie. As I'm sure you are aware in year 12 there is such a time crunch that any delays just add more pressure.

Hi Erica Thanks for the email. Yes, everything is going very well. Daniel is finding Yuta to be very helpful and has definitely been able to identify areas of weakness that require work. We are all very pleased with the progress to date.

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 Dee Why Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Pittwater House Schools.
