Be adaptable to individual students and across each time you see them. People learn in different ways at different times. Sometimes students have had a bad day, so you may have to adapt the lesson to make sure they get as much out of it as possible. Preparation is also very important. If you a stumbling around thinking of things to do next,…

The most important thing a tutor must do is to assess the student's answer and provide feedback, as that really helps them learn from their mistakes. Equally integral is, taking a doubt session as solving the doubts of the student not only improves learning but also develops a sense of confidence in the student about the subject, which develops a…

A tutor should allow for the student to work with their strengths to solve problems, and also to work on weaknesses. a tutor should work with a student, ie. adapt to how different students work, and help them work according to their process.

It is important that the tutor understands the needs and the gaps that the student has at the beginning of the sessions. An understanding of the needs of the student ensures that key objectives and targets are set with the student to drive ownership. As a tutor, it is also important to constantly assess the impact of my tutoring method in order to…

As a tutor, the most important thing is to "preach". Tutors who don't know how to "preach" often only focus on academic matters, which can easily lead to intensified conflicts between teachers and students. The premise of "preaching" is to establish a harmonious teacher-student relationship. I think there are three key points, that is, to be more…

In my opinion, a tutor must be able to empathize with the student and create a safe space for them. Its important to be constructive and patient especially with the ones that take time to grasp topics. One must keep instructions clear and always strive to empower the child by focusing on their strengths. Engage them instead of lecturing…

The most important thing that a tutor can do is to pivot their teaching style in order to suit not only the content but how the student learns. Without this ability to change as necessary you are putting your students at a significant disadvantage. Breaking down complex concepts into simple ideas.

Therefore, what I can do is to activate their interests and build up confidence in my way. There are…

Inside Horsnell GullyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Alyssia worked on adding and subtracting mixed number fractions with different denominators, as well as writing creative paragraphs with a focus on commas and exclamation points.

Year 10 student James focused on finding the equation of a line by calculating gradients and y-intercepts, along with sketching graphs to determine x- and y-intercepts using the gradient-intercept method.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alyssia tackled chemistry concepts including titrations—covering molar ratios and manipulating equations like n = m/M and C = n/V—and reviewed galvanic cells, redox reactions, and balancing chemical equations in preparation for her exam.

Recent Challenges

Handwriting and presentation issues were a recurring theme in Years 3–5, with reminders such as "capital letters are only for the start of sentence" and notes about rambling sentences making written work difficult to follow.

In Year 9 algebra, one student showed "some reliability on equations," often defaulting to previous answers rather than attempting new methods—this limited adaptability when faced with unfamiliar questions.

A Year 12 chemistry student preferred looking back at worked examples instead of attempting problems independently; this reliance slowed progress when tackling new scenarios.

Missed opportunities to ask teachers for help also delayed clarification of key misunderstandings.

Recent Achievements

One Horsnell Gully tutor noticed a big shift in Oscar (Year 5), who now needs far fewer reminders to work through fractions—last term, he would stall unless prompted, but this week tackled mixed numbers nearly independently.

In Year 10 science, Alyssia moved from hesitating over titration equations to completing even those with mixed molar ratios solo by session's end—a real step up in accuracy and confidence.

Meanwhile, Lucy (Year 11) started taking the lead in her maths revision: she came prepared with specific questions about statistics and managed to complete several practice problems without relying on prior examples.

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 Burnside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Norton Summit Primary School.
