Ancient History Tutor Darlinghurst, NSW
Provide a safe space for the student to make mistakes without judgement. They don’t always have this at school with their peers looking on. Provide high level materials that don’t just duplicate those from school or in generic books. I really think about the resources we use to make sure they are the right level, challenging and have stretch…

To reveal the simple nature of (what may seem) complex. Once a student understands that they have the ability to unravel something they thought was out of their reach, their confidence and newfound ability create a framework for smart study skills and eagerness to learn in the future. Those two qualities are necessary for the independent learning…

Ancient History Tutor Chippendale, NSW
The most important thing in my opinion is to not only be able to guide students to the correct answer, but also make them feel accomplished and enjoy the process of knowing nothing to all the knowledge they need in school. At the same time, a tutor have to be respectful at all times. Some of my strengths as a tutor are that I am great with…

Teach obviously! but i think if the tutor can make the lessons as fun as possible so that the student looks forward to them as something enjoyable rather than as purely work, the best results will occur.

One of the most important thing a tutor can do for a student, is not only make the subject fun and easier to understand but to make the student believe in himself/herself. Most of the students, do not feel very confident in their own understanding of the subject and hesitate to participate in class discussions. I believe by making the student…

Motivation and confidence are two key elements of student success, if I can support them in achieving a sense of self-efficacy regarding these elements, they are bound to see improvement. Students often know where they fall short in their work, they just need motivation to improve those areas. Once they know that they can achieve this themselves,…

I think a good tutor needs to first and foremost be able to understand the level of their student in order to help them improve. I also think that being able to re-explain mathematical theories and concepts in alternative ways is essential in helping students to fully comprehend the subject. I feel patience is key, but a good tutor also needs to…

Encourage them to pursue their dreams. Teach them to be lifelong learners. I believe you have completely understood the concept when you can simplify it entirely. So, the student should totally grasp the concepts at hand. A tutor can help the student realize their passions, and help them achieve it. Making the students interested in the subject by…

I think the most important facet is personalising lesson plans and taking time to understand the main shortcomings of each individual student.

I think as a tutor the most important thing you can do is to teach a student to want to learn, rather than just giving them all the answers, because if you give them positive reinforcement they can do the work themselves and feel much more accomplished. I think I am calm and understanding, but know when to be firm if I need to be to help the kids…

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…

Over the years, I have developed the opinion that the teaching of transferable skills - contrary to only what is needed at the moment - is most valuable for the student’s future development. It is important to see that just completing the mandatory homework will not suffice, the real challenge is to change the mindset. As a good tutor, one has…

Inside Dawes PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Xander focused on circle geometry, including properties of tangents and chords, and reviewed for his upcoming maths exam.

Year 11 student Soraya worked through advanced trigonometry concepts and tackled polynomial expressions from her textbook chapter 22b.

Year 12 student completed past papers to revise polynomials and logarithms, as well as fine-tuned algebraic skills like expanding brackets in preparation for final assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing for exams kept needing to look back at notes during trigonometry and functions, showing that not all key formulas were memorised; as one tutor noted, "there are a couple equations that will not be available on Charlie's resource sheet during the exam." This slowed progress in practice sessions.

In Year 9 English, another student was reluctant to link evidence back to topic sentences in an assignment and needed reminders about structure—leaving parts incomplete and ideas unconnected.

A primary student left division homework unfinished, feeling overwhelmed by a multiplication table. These gaps led to lost confidence or rushed last-minute revision instead of steady improvement.

Recent Achievements

Charlie, a high school student in Dawes Point, moved from needing frequent prompts to independently completing past exam papers and highlighting key points for revision without assistance.

Another secondary student has begun tackling challenging circle geometry problems solo—last month she hesitated and waited for guidance, but now she often attempts solutions before asking for help.

Soraya in primary school demonstrated a big shift during NAPLAN practice: after previously missing several questions on area, she not only solved those correctly this time but explained her reasoning out loud while working through the steps.

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 Customs House Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Observatory Hill Environmental Education Centre.
