I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make them feel proud and confident with themselves as well as being a supportive teacher. I know from experience that when you're struggling with a concept it is a very disheartening thing and can lead to self doubt and giving up. I think a tutor should help a student work through…

Implement creativity and a willingness to try is the most important skill a tutor can pass on to their students. Once a student builds a willingness to try and a need to challenge themselves, they will be more likely to build good habits and routines around creating these pathways for themselves. I always ask myself 'how do students learn' and…

The most important thing I can do for my students is to help them reach their goals, i.e. if they want high grades help them with that, but if they just want to pass then helping them to do that is just as important I have a deep understanding of school content and syllabus, an appreciation of the subject, an ability to explain complex information…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them figure out how to learn in many different ways, thus setting them up for a lifetime of learning. It is also important for a tutor to encourage their student to improve and to celebrate these improvements. My main strength as a tutor is patience with struggling or distracted…

Personalise the experience. It is vital to get t know the student, their concerns, their best learning style. The pace and content of the sessions needs to be adapted to the student's ability to achieve confidence and competence.

Provide support both academically and mentally. This can be done through practicing a topic of a subject, and also helping schedule their weeks, so they know they will still have social/leisure time, and maximize their grades and themselves. I am incredibly confident and happy to also learn new things. For example, if a student comes to me and…

I would have to say the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is show them the beauty in a subject the student may not so much enjoy. This allows the student to achieve goals as their newfound perspective on the topic has changed to positive. I personally experienced this within my own studies. I went from a poorly achieving student…

I think that whilst having adaptive teaching methods is important, ensuring the student constantly feels supported and motivated by the tutor is vital.

A tutors responsibility isn't to provide answers, but to guide students to find their way of learning and to provide alternative approaches when tackling problem scenarios or questions.

I think the most important thing is approaching learning with compassion and patience.

Natasha

Inside Empire BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Zac focused on dividing fractions and multiplying mixed fractions, using step-by-step examples to strengthen understanding.

For Year 8, Jasmine worked through finding unknown angles in right-angled triangles with Pythagoras' theorem and SOHCAHTOA, applying these methods to her homework problems.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ben tackled rearranging formulae to change the subject and practiced substituting values into equations for homework assignments, consolidating his algebra skills.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student arrived to the lesson without his notes or workbook, making targeted revision difficult; as noted, "he left his notes and school work book at school so he didn't have any guidelines for revision."

In a senior session on trigonometry and equations, one student relied heavily on mental calculations but sometimes omitted working out, especially when rearranging SOHCAHTOA formulas—errors with signs slipped through unnoticed.

Meanwhile, a primary student hesitated to attempt unfamiliar worded money problems until encouraged to draw diagrams.

When homework was set for clock models, it was not always completed, which slowed concept recap in later lessons.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Empire Bay recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to struggle with rearranging algebraic formulas now confidently solves for unknowns and even explains his reasoning aloud without prompting.

Another high schooler, previously hesitant to speak up, began actively asking questions during lessons and completed all assigned graphing problems using his calculator independently—something he'd never attempted solo before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who once guessed at worded money questions started drawing currency diagrams unprompted to check her answers, then finished her set of addition and subtraction problems without any errors.

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