Tutor Glenning Valley, NSW
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not only understand where the student is at within their academics, but in their personal life as well. A student's schooling can be very stressful and there is a lot of pressure from others. My role would be to make sure that I am not pressuring them, and that we reward even the…

Struggling with math problems can often feel demoralising and futile, especially when peers “get it†but you don’t. I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to help them view the concepts from different angles, guide them through problem solving steps, and increase their confidence in their ability to grasp…

By first giving the student the necessary skills to complete a range of questions this equips them with the tools to complete any question. I then allow the student to make the mistake first and learn from it by helping them change what they did. This is then followed up with an example response to a question then the student is given the chance…

It is important for tutors to explicitly explain and model how to solve mathematical problems to begin with and then gradually reduce assistance until the student is able to work independently. It is also important for tutors to motivate students through positive reinforcement and to incorporate metacognitive strategies. My strengths as a tutor…

I think that as a tutor you must listen to what your student needs and give that to them. Each student will learn differently so it is extremely important that as a tutor you tailor your teaching approach to that student and their needs in order for them to learn best. As I just left school in 2021 I have a good understanding of the pressures and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to understand the needs of their student and develop effective resources that work for THAT student.

The most important thing I can do for a student is to be patient.

Patience also allows the student to rationalise concepts at their own pace. This has the effect of deeply…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is learning to adapt.

So it’s crucial for a tutor to observe their students strengths and weaknesses, and use that to progress their learning. I am super patient…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to provide guidance and help whenever a student needs it.

Abhishek is a very calm and patient tutor, he works well with my son at my son's pace and it is proving invaluable in helping my son clarify things which he has found hard at school. My son is incredibly motivated now that he feels he is making progress in maths.

Inside Glenning ValleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Jayden worked on perimeter and area of rectangles, using diagrams to reinforce understanding, and also interpreted data with stem and leaf plots.

Year 8 student Ella tackled linear equations by rearranging formulas and explored like terms within algebraic expressions.

For Year 10, Harry focused on compound interest calculations and examined real-life applications of depreciation as part of his recent exam review.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 mathematics, one student avoided writing down working for algebra and geometry tasks, saying "I can do this in my head," which led to confusion when errors appeared—especially with negative numbers.

A Year 11 student often left revision of modules until just before tests, making it difficult to target weak areas during sessions.

In primary maths (Year 5), missed homework on fractions meant key practice was skipped, slowing progress on decimals the following week.

Meanwhile, a senior physics student rarely proofread written responses, so unclear explanations remained uncorrected after feedback.

Recent Achievements

One Glenning Valley tutor noticed a real shift in Jayden, a high school student who now stops and checks his work when he makes mistakes with big number multiplication—something he used to rush through without noticing errors.

Frankie, also in high school, has started creating her own examples when learning new maths concepts, showing initiative that wasn't there before; she even asks for clarification right away if she gets stuck rather than staying quiet.

Meanwhile, Anureet in primary school had been struggling with 11 times tables above 10Ă—11 but mastered them confidently after explanation and then aced every question during practice.

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 Bateau Bay Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Berkeley Vale Public School.
