The tutor needs to care about the student's learning. They need to understand the way each student learns best and mould their pedagogy to fit the student. The tutor needs to be able to recognise consistency in errors so that they can make the student aware of where they are going wrong and can help fix it. The tutor also needs to be patient and…

A tutor can help create a safe environment for a child to voice their concerns with learning which they may feel unable to do in a class setting. Having one-on-one tutor sessions can also help a child to target exactly what they are struggling with. A tutor also has more time with that student to assess what they are good at in order to keep…

Make the subject less dreadful and confusing for the students. Help them discover the fun and show them ways in learning the subject so they are wiling to learn intrinsically. Building rapport is one of my strongest strengths as a tutoring. I love a learning environment where both the learner and I enjoy and can learn and feel relaxed at the same…

The biggest thing would be to help students understand that ignorance is not failure. Just because they don't know something "basic", that does not mean they are worse than others, or are stupider, or are not going to succeed. It simply means they were not taught in a way that makes sense to them. This could be for a number of reasons, and not…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is understand how they learn and ensure the student feels comfortable.

As a tutor, I believe the core priority is to support the student’s learning in the most effective and personalised way possible. Building a student’s confidence is just as important as helping them achieve higher marks, as the two often go hand in hand.

I believe a tutor needs empathy. The tutor needs to make a targeted effort to understand their student. A student's weaknesses, strengths, drive and thinking style all play an integral role in a student's learning process and thus should be taken into account when developing lessons. Individual needs must be considered to facilitate realistic and…

Inside Fern BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Tyler focused on adding and subtracting decimals as well as rounding numbers, then progressed to multiplying decimals and preparing for a maths grading exam using his school booklet.

A Year 10 student revised financial maths concepts including depreciation, shares and dividend yield, and practised solving questions on simple and compound interest.

For Year 9, recent sessions covered interpreting box-and-whisker plots and quartiles in data analysis, alongside strategies for reading graphs accurately.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student's maths workbook was described as "a little more organised and tidy but we will work on that for next year," reflecting issues with written layout and presentation.

In senior years, a recurring theme has been over-reliance on formulas—one tutor observed, "she is too reliant on putting numbers into a given formula," particularly in financial mathematics.

Several high school students, including in Extension 1, tended to avoid writing out their working or explaining their reasoning aloud, making it difficult to identify errors early. This often led to confusion when faced with less familiar question formats.

Recent Achievements

In a recent Fern Bay tutoring session, Danika took the initiative to organise her questions ahead of time, something she didn't do at the start of the year. Now, she routinely highlights topics she's unsure about and brings them up in lessons, which means less hesitation and more active problem-solving.

Liz has started tackling difficult financial maths exam questions without waiting for hints—she works through each step on paper and even explains her reasoning out loud if challenged.

Meanwhile, Lara confidently completed a new linear equations question by herself after struggling with independent attempts earlier in the term.

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