I think the most important thing is to be ready to present the concept in multiple ways and see which one best suits the child. Especially with Maths, there are many ways to get the correct answer, it’s just about finding the best route for each individual child. I am very patient. I have a family member with dyslexia and dyspraxia which gives…

Tutor Coogee, NSW
Aside from the obvious answer of teaching the student the content he/she is having trouble with, I think there are things the tutor can do that can continue to benefit the student long after lessons have ended. Things like good study habits, problem solving skills and good communication are virtues that can be picked up from a tutor and can be…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is believe in them and their abilities.

The most important thing that a tutor can do at first, is build a rapport and a relationship of trust. In order to connect with a student, a tutor must be able to forge a strong connection that is much the same as a mentor to a younger generation. Further from this, a tutor must be able to assess the genuine ability of a student - this is crucial,…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is foster independent thinking and a growth mindset.

Inside CoogeeTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 4 student Robbie focused on multiplying and dividing fractions, then compared different fraction values using visual aids.
In Year 10, Claire worked through compound and simple interest calculations as well as interpreting compounded value tables for financial maths topics.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex explored the declining-balance method of depreciation and reducing-balance loans, with practical examples to deepen understanding of financial mathematics concepts.
Recent Challenges
A Year 10 student's test performance revealed persistent timing issues—"still struggling to complete tests in the correct time frame"—with rushed endings leading to unfinished questions in algebra.
For Year 11 Physics, forgotten content after missed sessions resulted in gaps that "couldn't be covered quickly before the test," causing anxiety and confusion.
In Year 6 Maths, unorganized note-taking meant key formulas were missing when revising fractions.
Another senior student hesitated to write working out for worded problems: "He holds back in case he gets an answer wrong," so mistakes remained hidden and feedback couldn't be used effectively.
Recent Achievements
One Coogee tutor recently saw a Year 9 student, previously hesitant to ask for help, now actively seeking clarification whenever confused—a big change from just nodding along in earlier sessions.
A Year 11 student has started fixing mistakes independently after only one correction, where before he would repeat the same error several times.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who used to stumble over times tables is now recalling them more smoothly each week and even completed a new set without prompts during their last session.
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 Brigid's Catholic Primary School.
