A tutor should always be there for the student when it comes to any problems, because the students will always look up to their tutor for advice about studies and other stuff and the tutor should be able to really connect with their student and help them. I am a very good listener and I explain things very easily. I am a very patient tutor and I…

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to help them build a strong foundation in whatever subject they’re studying. By building this foundation, this helps the student build confidence in their current subject and develop the necessary skills to study higher level subject which build on from these…

Honestly, I think that helping students understand the applications, importance and reasoning behind any mathematical topic is the best thing one can do for them. I belive that only then may students that hate mathematics start to appreciate it. I also believe that student's perception of their mathematical competence greaty impacts their…

I believe the most valuable tutors to students are those that are able to place themselves in the minds of their students. If I was a 15 year old beginning to learn the basics of calculus for example, I would consider which fundamentals they must first learn to gain a solid and sound foundation before moving onto more difficult components. I…

I would consider the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to introduce new learning methods and to challenge the student's minds and prepare them to be able to solve any question that they are given.

Ultimately, the most important things a tutor can do for a student are provide academic guidance, human connection, and consistency, and the combination of these factors can potentially reinvent a class, subject, or school more broadly for a young learner. I am passionate and experienced in the education industry, and I am confident that the…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to show enthusiasm to his/her work. Simply attempting to teach students with as little effort as possible is wrong. How can you expect students to show committment to their studies if the tutor cannot show committment to them? I firmly believe that showing a real desire to teach results in a real desire…

In my opinion being a good tutor requires time. Teaching people is actually not an easy job, and I can promise devoting adequate time for this job. Another valid point is patience. There is actually thinking gap between tutors who are University students and high school students. And to be a responsible and good tutor, an important thing is to be…

I think it is not only important for a tutor to help a student with a particular issue they are having at that moment, but to show them how to effectively address such further issues that may arise in the future. This can be done by teaching efficient and tested study techniques that have proven successful. Additionally, tutors can show students…

The greatest benefit of a tutor is without a doubt, the surgical clarity they can offer a student. In school students are taught in broad strokes by teachers that often don't have the time or the resources to focus on each individual student's needs and struggles. As a tutor, you can identify and address the specific anxieties and weaknesses of a…

I believe that understanding a student's needs is vital for your approach to tutoring, as everyone is different in how they remember information. Along with this, providing regular feedback and goals is important to help the student see their own progress and what they need to focus on. I'm very patient and willing to spend as much time on…

Inside DocklandsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Hamish focused on place value and identifying prime numbers, using practice exam questions for consolidation.

Year 10 student Olivia worked through solving systems of linear equations by elimination and explored the distance formula between two points with visual explanations.

In Year 11, Ethan tackled function modelling with real-world examples (such as insect population growth) and analysed rectangular hyperbolas, including their transformations and asymptotes.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, one student's algebra work showed gaps due to incomplete homework and minimal revision of textbook questions—"she tended to skip the assigned practice," a tutor noted, which left some equation-solving steps unpracticed.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student felt overwhelmed by dense chemistry chapters and sometimes postponed review tasks; this led to confusion during multi-step equilibrium problems, especially when tired after tests.

In Year 4 maths, inconsistent working in times tables caused errors like "3 x 4 = 11."

A Year 12 student avoided asking for feedback on graphing questions, so misconceptions lingered into the next session.

Recent Achievements

One Docklands tutor noticed that a Year 11 student, Maya, started their sessions feeling nervous about upcoming biology tests but now prompts herself to review marked work and pushes through practice questions independently—something she used to avoid.

In Year 10 maths, Hamish recently stopped skipping key steps when solving linear equations and inequalities; he now writes out double negatives rather than rushing, which helps him catch mistakes that previously cost marks.

Meanwhile, in primary years, Lola has become noticeably quicker at linking old and new maths topics on her own and has started presenting her solutions with clarity during lessons.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Tutoring is going very well she's starting to show some progress now which is good and Deanna works her hard which is great.

Since Ben has had Jacques tutoring, he has achieved an A++ (15/15) for his maths assignment!!!

Zach and Chaitanya are doing really well. Zach is really happy, not only with the way he's learning, but also because Chaitanya takes an interest in him as well.

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 Library at the Dock—or at your child's school (with permission), like Haileybury College - City Boys.
