Tutors help foreground the development of confidence in what lies within the mind of students that enhances their ability to express thoughts and opinion essential for adult life. A tutor also becomes a trustee of the student, whom insecurities are revealed, and therefore solutions can be found based on the bond created between the two. The…

English Tutor Belmont North, NSW
To help them find and understand the answers themselves, opposed to just being told answers, or given formulas without proper explanation. This helps them not only understand there answers but also question answers they believe to be incorrect. I have good communication skills and I'm very patient. I also feel that my enjoyment for these subjects…

English Tutor Point Wolstoncroft, NSW
The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to recognise and stimulate wherever possible a personal interset in the subject being taught. Ideally this will literally involve relating the subject to the student's own intellectual, cultural or recreational interests, but it may simply involve alinging success in the subject to…

English Tutor Dora Creek, NSW
To be patient, it can be hard to be patient when it is easy for us as adults as we know the topic, but patience is so important to remember that they are learning, just as we did one day. I am extroverted, I love people and love to socialise, so I will make my tutoring lesson fun for the…

In order for the relationship between and student and tutor to bloom, the tutor needs to be a good listener, patient, honest, flexible, confident and willing to collaborate. I believe I am capable of all these items, and more. I believe I am patient, and have a creative way of teaching. I am enthusiastic in all aspects of life, and tutoring is no…

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is listen to what they don’t understand and coming up with different ways that relate to that child that will help them to understand the question, and any other future questions based on the same problem. I am patient and understanding allowing me to have multiple approaches…

Simone's doing great so far with Ashleigh. Working on consolidating her existing knowledge and filling some gaps left by a poor teacher last year. She's giving Ashleigh some 'homework' at this stage which is useful during this consolidation phase.

Inside Fishing PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Claudia worked on adding and subtracting like fractions, as well as multiplying fractions together in maths using visual aids.

For Year 9, Tiffany completed a diagnostic assessment covering key Year 9 maths concepts to pinpoint areas for improvement.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Nina focused on financial mathematics by calculating gross and net pay and practiced applying percentages to real-world salary scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 financial maths, a student struggled to recall weeks per year and fortnights—this slowed problem-solving as basic calendar facts had to be rechecked each time.

During a Year 9 indices lesson, formulas were repeatedly forgotten; "she kept asking which symbol goes with each step," noted one tutor, so progress on practice questions was limited.

For a Year 5 fraction exercise, untidy working made it difficult for her to track steps or spot errors later.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student left homework incomplete before sessions, leading to repeated revision of the same concepts rather than moving ahead.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Fishing Point recently noticed Tiffany, a high school student, move from hesitating to ask questions to clearly communicating when she's unsure—she now pauses and asks for clarification instead of pushing ahead silently.

Another secondary student, Aanika, had previously struggled with confidence when tackling new maths concepts but has begun attempting more challenging percentage problems independently after extra practice.

In the primary years, Claudia made a breakthrough by reading times on an analogue clock by herself after needing support for several weeks; last session, she confidently read "6:47" aloud without help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy with Mina. In a short time Jamison's marks have improved greatly and Jamison enjoys working with her.

My son understood exactly what Margaret taught him the other day, with which he was having a lot of problems with.

We are extremely happy with our tutor Neema. He has been so encouraging for Sophie. She is feeling more confident already.

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 Wangi Library Creative Hub, wanji wanji—or at your child's school (with permission), like Rathmines Public School.
