I think being a tutor is especially important in the sense that they are capable of adapting to their students needs and the way they process information, able to come up with different strategies to help the student learn the topic is the way best suited for them. I also think a tutor should be able to help the student understand the topic at…

Support their learning and encourage them. For a student to have someone encouraging them is a boost in their self-confidence. I grew up with 4 younger siblings (the youngest is now 6), exposing me to how children are at different stages of life. How they learn and think, what motivates them. I also received a band 6 in HSC advanced mathematics,…

I believe a tutor is all about being able to be the middle man between teachers and students. They are able to act in a professional manner but also can individually suit the needs of a specific student. In doing this tutors are able to fill in those missing links and hopefully create a sense of confidence in students that they might otherwise…

The most important things a tutor can do are grow to understand the student so they can best help them. I think that if the tutor understands a student, if they have a strong rapport then they can identify a student's weak and strong points and work to solidify their strengths and mitigate their weaknesses. Although I have no formal tutoring…

In my opinion, the most important thing will be to give the child my time and attention. Only when they felt attended to, be it serious work or not, they will start listening but, also educating them about priorities. As well as having the patience to tackle the questions one at a time. Strengths: - strict and firm (not fierce) - emphasize on…

Make sure that the student is comfortable with your way of teaching and is actively involved. Tutoring is not only about jabbering stuff even though the student doesn’t understand a single thing. You have to take it slow and steady until your student is confident enough and can explain the same concept back to you even well. - calmness…

I have found Angat Mangat to be an excellent tutor, with lots of patience. I realize that Jacinta is not a top student so it is hard going.

Inside Garden SuburbTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Julian focused on geometry by identifying faces, edges, and vertices of 3D shapes, then practised two-digit addition and subtraction before tackling larger four- and five-digit numbers.

In Year 10, Zara worked through financial mathematics topics including simple interest calculations from worded problems and explored compound interest with depreciation by rearranging equations for multi-step scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Thomas reviewed probability concepts using Venn diagrams and two-way tables, interpreting data to solve relative frequency questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student faced recurring challenges with time management during tests, leading to incomplete answers despite understanding the material; as noted, "he rushed calculator input and missed small changes in questions."

In Year 7, another struggled with showing all algebra steps, which meant sign errors went unnoticed until review.

Meanwhile, a senior chemistry student's tendency to avoid deeper revision—focusing only on familiar titration problems—limited improvement before exams.

One Year 3 learner often left place value work messy and numbers misaligned, causing confusion when writing beyond thousands. These habits made error-tracing harder and slowed progress during lessons.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Garden Suburb recently noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who used to skip steps and get lost in worded questions; now, he writes out every part of his working, which has made interpreting those tricky questions much smoother.

Another high schooler who previously struggled to convert between different compounding periods in financial maths now completes these conversions independently and tackles multi-step problems without hesitation.

Meanwhile, a younger student surprised himself by getting two questions right this week that he'd missed in the last session—showing clear progress from confusion to accuracy.

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 Charlestown Library, walyamayi—or at your child's school (with permission), like Garden Suburb Public School.
