The most important thing as a tutor is to help them understand the importance of English and mathematics. If something is unclear, it is my duty to research and resolve the issue so the student can learn correctly to progress in the future. If the student enjoys a certain subject, he/she may potentially be a passionate teacher in the future. As a…

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…

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…

This also helps as content taught in our sessions will flow better, and create more engagement from the student. Having…

Local Reviews

Gracie, she has been very accommodating and has had the patience to work with my son. Even though I have not met her in person, she seems to be very dedicated.
Alex, Manly Vale

Inside Dee WhyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Aidan worked on finding gradients and equations of straight lines as well as interpreting graphs to connect visual data with algebraic rules.

Year 10 student Olivia focused on quadratic equations, using different factorisation methods and completing the square to solve problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ethan explored circles, hyperbolas, and exponential equations, tackling graph sketching and identifying key features of each curve type.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student found simultaneous equations challenging when only points and gradients were provided; she relied heavily on worked examples rather than practicing independently.

In Year 9, a student's tendency to "go extremely fast through questions" led to missed steps in algebra, as one tutor noted, "needs to slow down and show working."

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student hesitated with division tricks—impatience made her guess rather than apply strategies from previous lessons.

For a primary learner tackling times tables, confidence dropped when faced with the unfamiliar 8s and 9s; skipping practice left gaps that slowed progress in multi-step problems.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Dee Why noticed a big shift for Morgan (Year 7): she now breaks down tricky compound area problems into smaller shapes without prompting—last term, she'd freeze if it wasn't straightforward.

A Year 10 student recently tackled financial maths and, after previously making frequent errors with formulas, managed to complete a full practice set independently and accurately.

In English, a Year 11 student who used to write vague answers has started linking ideas more clearly in essays and even asked for feedback on structure before submitting her draft.

Local Spots for Tutoring
