The most important thing a tutor can do is to provide the student with deep understanding of concepts so that the student can approach future challenges with the confidence that they can work through it on their own, even if it is unfamiliar. There is so much more to mathematics than just memorisation as so many people believe, they key is problem…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is to teach the student about any and all areas that the student have doubts or concerns with as well as reinforcing confidence for the student particularly in the weeks the follow before an exam. I am articulate in my language, know content well and am able to explain complex and bizarre concepts…

Personally, I believe that in order to be a good tutor it is necessary to provide a level of support that feels as if it extends beyond the obligation that the position you hold is your job. I believe it is crucial to possess a genuine understanding for the strengths and flaws of your students in order to properly and efficiently deliver supoort…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is give them a personalised teaching experience. Often there are other factors at play in the progress of a student's learning than just their mental ability. Being able to recognise and connect to the child will open up numerous learning pathways to allow them to reach their full…

I believe that the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is listen to/watch for what they're struggling with most, and focus on that. Optimising the time you have with them will make sure that they can improve more quickly. I believe that my strengths as a tutor include my enthusiasm and passion for mathematics, and I try to pass…

I think a tutor, or any teacher, can honestly make or break a subject. As a tutor, I want to be able to make a student fall in love with what they are teaching them, rather than them seeing going to tutoring as a chore. I find my biggest strength to be that I get along well with younger kids and other people in general. I am very patient, and dont…

A tutor needs to provide their student with support, tools, skills and most importantly understanding of how they can effectively approach their studies and achieve the best possible results they can. A tutor should also make their student feel comfortable, creating a sense of trust between them and allowing for more effective tutoring sessions.…

1. Help them towards their study milestones so they have an unhindered path towards any given career of choice. 3. Understand something rather than memorising it. I hold this statement in significance. Having studied in different countries I understand the difference in teaching. Tutoring being 1 on 1 or in small groups allows for this. I…

Listen. I think it is pivotal for a tutor to be able to listen to the student. Be it regarding concepts or content, or just a tutors teaching style. Listening and responding to feedback is essential. Determination. When teaching a student something for the first time, it can be very difficult for them to understand a concept. So, as a tutor, I am…

Foster self-confidence in their subject areas, as the main hurdle many students face, is self-doubt in their ability, which causes them to give up on their courses. I know the content very well and have helped many of my peers overcome things they don't understand in the syllabus. So I am familiar with many of the common problems students face in…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to give them the confidence that they have the ability to learn.

Tutors should be willing to listen and work well with students to achieve their personal goals.

Aside from increasing a student's comprehension of particular subjects, tutors should highlight the importance of speaking up and…

I believe the most important aspect of tutoring is targeting a student's goal in a subject, whether that be just passing or scoring 100%, and teaching them at that level, whilst providing that extra push to potentially help them succeed above these goals. In doing so, I believe this allows students to engage more with the work and see strong…

Inside Elvina BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Max reviewed linear relationships and practiced constructing graphs from tables and points.

For Year 12, Sarah focused on financial mathematics, tackling HSC sample questions on simple and compound interest as well as depreciation.

Meanwhile, Olivia (Year 12) worked through exam revision using past HSC trial papers, with a particular focus on normal distribution problems and strategies for continuous probability distributions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 mathematics, one student was encouraged to "practice without notes," but consistently reached for the formula sheet instead of recalling key steps independently during complex normal distribution problems.

In a Year 9 algebra session, messy working and skipping layout made it hard to track sign errors—"missed details in the question led to wrong answers," as one tutor observed.

A senior student practicing under timed exam conditions tended to focus only on familiar question types, avoiding tougher unfamiliar variations and missing out on building confidence for actual assessment scenarios.

Recent Achievements

One Elvina Bay tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to rush through algebra and make repeated errors—now, after focused sessions, she shows real patience working through problems step by step and even uses her improved skills on harder questions without prompting.

Another high schooler came to a recent session with specific questions already prepared, rather than waiting passively; this new initiative helped him quickly master tricky differentiation topics he'd struggled with last term.

A Year 5 student who once forgot key techniques is now recalling content from previous weeks and confidently applying it to new problems.

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 Mona Vale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Luke's Grammar School, Bayview Campus.
