Tutor Forestville, NSW
I believe a tutor should always be reliable, punctual, patient, kind, and supportive - as this creates a safe learning environment for all students. I am newly graduated, meaning I still recall all the emotions and stresses of high school, and know the content and structure of various subjects extremely well. I excelled at my own school in English…

I think as a tutor one of the most important things we can do for a student is be a pillar of support to guide them and follow them on their learning journey. Instead of talking to students and feeding them information its important to talk WITH students as learning is a 2 way street and both student and teacher need to have input. Learning is…

The most important is to help and support the student in the targeted subject. A tutor should be able to identify areas where a student is struggling and help them to improve in these areas. I am good at taking a topic or idea and simplifying it so that it is easier to understand for a…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to establish their confidence, give them the attention, teach the most efficient strategies to succeed in the exam with the least lessons. Students can't succeed in their exam is because there are so-called 'good students' in their class, for multiple reasons, their teachers don't actually…

Often in school, teachers teach a subject in only one way rather than catering for each individual in the class, which can often make students feel 'dumb' or hate the subject. I believe the most important things that a tutor can do for a student is to show them the many different ways to approach the subject and help them to find a new way that…

Tutors are there to make sure students fully understand the subjects taught in their classes, whether this be to engage them with new work outside of the classroom, aid them with homework or just spark more enjoyment in the subject. My main strength would be my ability to teach with different perspectives, this being an ability to explain a…

I think a tutor should be capable of answering any questions discussing any uncertainties that a student may have. These should be explained clearly and if the student does not understand initially, the tutor should continue to explain in alternate ways (e.g. rewording sentences and visual aids such as diagrams) until the student understands. In…

As a tutor, it is important that you pass on the right knowledge to the student. Make them think about things by themselves instead of giving them straight away. A tutor, shouldn't discourage students if they ask a dumb question, they should resolve all their queries with a good understanding. A tutor's job is to support a student and be curious…

Apart from conveying knowledge, the most crucial thing a tutor can do is to make students feel good about the subject they are studying. When students have a positive mindset and feel confident, they are more motivated and engaged in the learning process. I possess a strong foundation and deep understanding of mathematics. Moreover, I can design…

I consider effective communication to be the most important thing a tutor can have for a student, as this one quality filters into all aspects of the job as a tutor. This allows the tutor to gain an understanding of the specific goals or concerns of the student to then maximise the use of sessions, allowing for substantial growth. I believe my…

I believe it is extremely important for a tutor to have similar hobbies or experiences to the student so that the student feels comfortable and safe by taking out the power balance many often feel between their tutor or teacher. This also helps as content taught in our sessions will flow better, and create more engagement from the student. Having…

I believe the best thing a tutor can do is to inspire confidence and a deep appreciation for lifelong learning in the student. While many students will not utilise the specific knowledge they learnt within a certain HSC subject later on, the ability to know how to learn; how to structure a study timetable, how to find a work-life balance, are all…

Very helpful staff. Invoicing was simple Tutor was a little insecure/shy which was not very motivating for my child. He was late on a number of occasions but very happy to stay over the 1hr to complete work.

Inside ForestvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Jessica worked through pattern recognition and tackled long division using step-by-step examples.

In Year 8, Ethan focused on converting fractions to percentages and decimals, then interpreted pie graphs and charts with real-life data sets.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ava explored financial maths by calculating GST and percentage change, applying these skills to practical scenarios.

Recent Challenges

Several high school students missed assigned homework on multiple occasions, particularly in Year 9 and Year 10 mathematics—one tutor observed, "He did not complete his homework again which is unfortunate."

In a senior maths lesson, a student forgot key content from previous weeks during a test review, suggesting little revision outside of sessions.

For one Year 8 algebra session, steps were often skipped in working out equations ("attempted to do some conversion questions in his head"), leading to confusion and small errors that weren't easily traced back.

During advanced geometry with a Year 11 student, messy layout made it difficult to follow reasoning or spot where the method broke down.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Forestville noticed a Year 9 student who previously mixed up algebraic rules is now correctly applying BODMAS without prompting, making fewer calculation errors during practice.

In another session, a Year 11 student showed new independence by identifying and solving gradient questions on their own—this used to be an area where he'd hesitate or wait for hints.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner who was once unsure about times tables now answers multiplication problems with growing speed and checks her work before moving on to the next question.

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