Make the student not just do well in the subject but making the love the subject and have a good understanding of the subject, which will lead to achieving desired results. I am patient, and take my time to evaluate the best teaching method that works with each student individually.

Something is often overlooked in tutoring/teaching is ensuring that students are properly following an explanation. Therefore, patience and care is important to keep checking in along the away and motivate them in learning and exploring the subjects. Through 13 years of schooling, I am aware that every student has a different approach to study for…
One of the most important things a teacher can do for their student is to listen. Not to listen to think of the next response but to listen to understand. I believe as a teacher listening specifically to WHAT the student is asking not HOW they are asking it is one of the most valuable and important skills I've learned to develop. When a student is…

Inside DeansideTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
What they say about our tutoring
Timothy is very happy with how things are going with Jerome. Tim feels like he is learning and is comfortable with Jerome who I have found to be a very polite young man. Tim has not had any tests or exams since he began tutoring, I'm sure we will see an improvement at that time.
Hi Erica, everything good so far. Isaac is lovely and Adam appears to be relating well to him. He has had 2 recent Math tests and has seemed more relaxed about them so I think we're seeing some short term gains already.
Hi Erica, Yes all seems to be going well with Sean's tutoring. He responds well to Andy. Thanks
