Tutor Wallsend, NSW
The most important thing to do for students is to listen and know how they learn. Knowing their capabilities is needed in order to challenge them while making sure they are engaged and interested in what is being taught or reviewed. I have previous experience tutoring 1on1 and in small groups. Currently I am studying a Bachelor of Education…

Eventually get them to a level where they become self-sufficient and confident in their abilities to teach themselves as well as think for themselves. These are skills that will be required when going to university as often (in my experience) you cannot have the professor/tutor sit down with you and go through concepts you didn't comprehend. These…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to foster confidence in their students to independently learn and build confidence in their skills. A tutor should also be able to inspire curiosity so that students become better learners in their field and ask questions. Lastly, the tutor should be flexible to personalise the…

Helping a student to enjoy a subject, or at the very least succeed, is a major thing to help them through school. Everyone has different needs, and a tutor helps accommodate those needs in an efficient way. Inspiration can go a long way, and improving their enjoyment of a subject may set them up for a future they love. When I tutored my friends in…

I believe a great tutor goes beyond just increasing a student's marks- they are able to act as a mentor and oversee a student's education holistically. For example, I also guided one of my previous students through his year 12 year, helping him with the university admissions process and scholarship applications, where he is now studying…

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 needs to listen to a student, to understand what the best methods of learning will be, and needs to adapt their teaching to work for any student, rather than just forcing a student into a single mindset. I explain things very carefully, with multiple ways of looking at something, so I am quite flexible in trying to work with a student. I…

Richard is a lovely young man. Very patient and caring in his delivery of his tutoring. He has made my daughter feel better about her ability to problem solve her mathematics.

Inside GeorgetownTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Chloe reviewed algebraic techniques, including operations with indices and equations involving pronumerals on both sides, before tackling basic quadratic equations.

In Year 11, Erika practised questions on rates and ratios as well as bearings and trigonometry, then moved onto biology topics such as the male and female reproductive systems and the hormonal regulation of the menstrual cycle.

Meanwhile, Year 5 student Tyler worked through NAPLAN-style division and multiplication exercises alongside revision using Mathletics on the iPad.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student struggled to keep up with homework and independent study—notes were often undated, and only about an hour per week was spent revising. As one tutor put it, "he explained it was because of lack in knowledge to complete the questions," highlighting a cycle where missed practice deepened gaps in financial maths and trigonometry.

In Year 8, another student's workbook became disorganised over time, making it harder to review concepts or spot repeated errors.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner sometimes skipped homework entirely, saying she'd "give it a go next week"—leaving place value skills underdeveloped heading into new topics.

Recent Achievements

One Georgetown tutor recently noticed a big shift in a Year 12 student's approach to challenging maths problems: after struggling with question interpretation, he now underlines key data and circles verbs before solving, which means he's needing far less help and is getting through complex questions more independently.

Meanwhile, a high school student who previously left homework unfinished has started completing all assigned tasks and even attempts extra questions—demonstrating not just effort but genuine initiative.

In Year 8 science, another student showed new independence by identifying food chains in ecosystems without prompting and confidently explained how energy moves between organisms.

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 Mayfield Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Callaghan College Waratah Campus.
