A tutor should identify the students' areas of weakness and focus on helping the students gain knowledge in these areas rather than teaching the student what they already know.

Tutors need to be able to listen, support, and communicate with their students in a way that makes them feel comfortable to ask questions and admit when they don’t really understand what’s going on. By being an approachable person, students are less likely to feel anxious and in a comfortable environment, are more likely to absorb the…

Local Reviews

We had twice weekly lessons to prep Charlie for his Year 7 assessment exam as he was looking like he would fail. We got the results back this week and he achieved 68% - not fabulous but definitely much better than he would have without David so we are both very happy. Im really happy with the preparation David does, his level of communication with me & feedback & he has made a good connection with Charlie which is the most important. So far Im very very happy.

Inside Dolans BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 Thomas explored addition, subtraction, time-telling, shapes, and skip counting to identify his current strengths.

For Year 8 Lucy, recent lessons focused on angle relationships such as co-interior and alternate angles as well as types of triangles using diagrams for clarity.

Meanwhile, Year 10 Michael revised probability terminology and practiced working with tables and x-y axes to deepen understanding of statistics content.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student tended to rush through algebraic equations, skipping written steps—"he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors"—which led to confusion and extra time spent correcting work.

In Year 12, a student avoided collecting sources during research for Ancient History, leaving her scrambling later to track down details she needed for essays.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner struggled with messy handwriting in maths; unclear numbers made calculation errors more likely and frustrated her attempts at self-checking.

One Year 5 student sometimes left homework incomplete after a busy week, so practice on fractions and division lagged behind expectations.

Recent Achievements

A Dolans Bay tutoring session saw a Year 10 student finally start using her own notebook to organise maths prep—she'd previously just relied on loose worksheets, but now tracks practice problems and corrections herself.

Another tutor in the area noticed a big shift for a Year 11 student who used to avoid probability questions; after some targeted revision, he surprised himself by tackling advanced problems without hesitation.

In primary, one Year 4 student had struggled with understanding money but recently began calculating change in real-world scenarios with minimal prompting, finishing an activity about shopping totals all on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Sahm has been an excellent teacher and we are very happy as to the way he works with our daughter.

Connor is really enjoying the sessions with James and finds him very helpful. He says James can explain things very clearly and is helping him get through his work and study more efficiently. He has a maths exam this week and is feeling more confident already.

Laoise has been really happy working with Jennifer and we're very pleased with how it's all been going and look forward to working more with her when the new school term resumes.

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 Caringbah Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Caringbah Public School.
