Assist in enabling students to reach their goals. Create a learning environment where the student feels comfortable to be themselves, make mistakes, take chances, be creative and therefore, grow. My strengths would include being patient, intuitive and empathetic with students. I generally speak succinctly and try not to overload the student with…

Listen to them, let them teach you about themselves, let them have a go and try things and trial and error. No matter how many times they get it wrong they will always learn more by putting the effort in rather than just being given the answer. Also find out what techniques help them learn best, some students can pick up things in different ways…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be there for them, both through aid in academic studies and through personal encouragement. A tutor needs to make sure the student feels safe and understood, seen and heard. Therefore, I believe a tutor needs to just have faith in their students. That is the best and most important thing a…

After school help is the one thing I feel all students require. A tutor can provide that requisite help and enable students accelerate their learning and cognition for better performance and a better future. Tutors also help students stay focused and disciplined while out of school. So, it gives the necessary direction that every student requires.…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make themselves welcoming. A good and effective tutor is open to all ideas and willing to completely work with the student. The most effective tutors will offer a variety of perspectives and welcome all criticism and differing opinions. During school, I struggled with breaking down tasks,…

Local Reviews

Roanne has been tutoring my daughter in Yr 11 maths for a few months now and we couldn't be happier. She finds Roanne very easy to communicate with and says she explains difficult concepts in a very easy to understand way. We're very happy our daughter has Roanne to support her through HSC maths next year!

Inside CorrimalTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Remi focused on multiplication and division through homework review, rapid-fire arithmetic practice, and calendar/time questions.

Year 7 student worked on fractions and geometry, including Greek mythology context for their English assessment, using a one-pager format to connect ideas.

Another Year 8 student tackled Pythagoras' theorem alongside percentages and algebra problems, reinforcing each skill with targeted maths exercises.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 English, one student avoided reading assigned texts in favour of familiar manga and hesitated to expand his reading "palette"—a concern as set novels become central for essays.

During a History assessment, he needed extensive prompting to formulate responses: "I had to 'hold' Max's hand through the research and writing portion," noted the tutor, highlighting reluctance to work independently.

In high school maths (Years 7–8), another student was unwilling to show working out, preferring just answers; this made it harder to identify mistakes during revision.

After setbacks or difficult days, motivation sometimes dropped sharply, slowing progress mid-task.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Corrimal noticed a big shift with Max, a high school student who used to brush off challenging English tasks but now actively works through drafts and asks for help when stuck—he recently finished revising his assignment on Otzi without giving up.

Another high schooler, Arvon, has become much more independent with double-digit multiplication: he now uses the 2x2 grid method confidently and even corrected the tutor's mistake during a recent session.

Meanwhile, Remi in primary school moved from struggling to add small numbers to flying through larger sums using finger counting, needing barely any guidance by lesson's end.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Arman was fabulous, very thorough and explained maths to my daughter in a manner which she was able to grasp easily.

Verity improved a great deal with her maths last year. Her results from school where excellent and have thanked Peter very much. He did such an awesome job in tutoring her.

Our tutor is wonderful and has been extremely helpful and accommodating with scheduling.

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 Corrimal District Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Columbkille's Catholic Primary School.
