Making sure that the student fully understands what was taught is the most important above all. A tutor should not just present a lesson and slip away. He should be more interactive, address the questions of the student, and give his best effort to repeat the parts not understood by the student in other simpler smart approaches. A tutor should…

The most important things a tutor can do include creating a love for the subject and creating confidence in the student to help him/her achieve the goals they aspire to. I am patient, and not over-academic in nature, which allows me to have the ability to see the problems from the student's point of view. This makes it easier for me to connect…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is recognise what, precisely, the student is struggling with and to tailor explanations of concepts in ways that the student will respond to. For example, a major conceptual hurdle for high school students can be learning about logarithms for the first time. Often the root of confusion…

The most important things that a tutor can give a student are love and care because without these two elements the student won't feel at ease while learning as they might get shy or feel uncomfortable and not tell you things if they don't understand parts of the lecture. I can explain complex stuff in simple ways which is really helpful in making…

The most important thing is to Listen.

Listening to what the students need or does not understand allows me to get to the bases of their lack of…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to mentor them in how to think about concepts, ideas, and problems.

If a student can grasp why an idea logically flows from one to the next, I believe a passion for the subject naturally…

Local Reviews

Very professional company, lots of useful hints to get the most out of the tutoring. Would definitely recommend.
Loretta, Ermington

Inside ErmingtonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Aura revised division, fractions and decimals, and was introduced to interpreting graphs and angles while working through a NAPLAN Numeracy practice paper.

For Year 9, Hannah tackled trigonometry using the sine and cosine rules and reinforced her understanding of quadratic equations.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ethan worked on exam preparation by focusing on linear equations involving algebraic rearrangement, bearings in trigonometry, and finding axes of symmetry for parabolas.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student repeatedly left homework incomplete, particularly in proportionality and coordinate geometry, resulting in confusion during quizzes—"she was unable to complete the homework for proportionality," noted a tutor.

In senior levels, another student's notes were often disorganized and scattered across loose papers rather than a dedicated notebook, making it difficult to review algebra strategies before tests.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner's untidy working with fractions led to calculation errors that weren't caught until prompted to write each step out. This lack of organized practice and written clarity caused gaps to widen between lessons and made feedback harder to apply.

Recent Achievements

One Ermington tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to avoid asking for help now raising specific questions about tricky trig rearrangements, letting the session target exactly where she gets stuck.

In a senior session, another student who struggled with interpreting box and whisker plots last month is now confidently analyzing class data sets and even asked to explore financial maths next week.

Meanwhile, during a Year 4 lesson, a student who once rushed through operations slowed down after prompting, taking care to check whether division or multiplication was needed before solving each problem independently.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We're really happy with Rachel, and Sophie is relating to her well. We are seeing positive results in Sophie's math grades at school already.

Murray has achieved 100% in his maths test recently so I am happy he has gained confidence and skills. Yoseph is great asset to your business. Thank you again.

I am very happy with Kavan, he is a great tutor, very patient and extremely intelligent.

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