English Tutor Botany, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is not just provide the student with the knowledge that they need for a course or for a test but that they can learn along the way the methods which help them learn best so they can apply those methods to future challenges. In other words, how they figure out one problem or completing one task…

English Tutor Daceyville, NSW
Over the years, I have developed the opinion that the teaching of transferable skills - contrary to only what is needed at the moment - is most valuable for the student’s future development. It is important to see that just completing the mandatory homework will not suffice, the real challenge is to change the mindset. As a good tutor, one has…

Helping students improve or maintain their grades, along with teaching extremely valuable lessons is the most important thing I can do for a student. A tutor not only teaches but shows compassion, is understanding, and helps student be the best that they can be. An example is when helping a student who suffers from bad time management. This for…

I think the most important think a tutor can do for a student is to give them confidence in their own abilities. Schooling, especially ones centred around standardised exams, encourage students to master themselves in order to achieve standardised tasks; however, no part of the curriculum teaches them how to do this. I feel as though it is the…

Actually engage and interact with the student to find where, and more importantly why they're struggling or need help. This not only is a short term solution to a single question which may be raised, but is extremely helpful in the long run as their problem solving skills and overall performance improves. Also, make sure the student actually…

I believe the most important thing about a tutor is being able to provide self-confidence for the student. I do this through encouragement catered both individually and to the group (if there is one). I have found that when students believe they have the ability to complete the question, they are more likely to ask questions and understand the…

In my opinion, for a student to always be good at studying and getting good grades every time, the student has to master appropriate studying strategies. Hence, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach the student how to study "smartly" and be more productive. Moreover, in high school, I used to go to coaching centre…

The most important thing for a tutor is to foster a love of learning above all us. To teach for an exam is short sighted and will ultimately provide no benefit for the student moving forward.

Maintain a positive attitude, take away the stress from learning, guide them and restructure their approach to studying when they come across roadblocks.

I think as a tutor the most important thing you can do is to teach a student to want to learn, rather than just giving them all the answers, because if you give them positive reinforcement they can do the work themselves and feel much more accomplished. I think I am calm and understanding, but know when to be firm if I need to be to help the kids…

Often times I've found that a lot of students struggle with certain parts in learning but don't speak up about them because of being afraid.

Local Reviews

Plenty of communication with the staff. First tutor wasn't suitable ie experienced enough but the replacement was excellent.
Rosemary Peppard, Little Bay

Inside Little BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Ethan practiced multiplying and dividing fractions, then moved on to solving perimeter and area problems for composite shapes using diagrams.

For Year 8, Olivia worked through expanding algebraic brackets and applied these skills to more complex equations, with a focus on clear setting out of her working.

In Year 10, Sam reviewed trigonometry concepts including the sine and cosine rules, reinforcing understanding by tackling exam-style questions involving real-world contexts.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 maths, one student's written work was still messy and hard to follow, making it difficult to spot calculation errors when tackling fractions.

A Year 10 student delayed sharing assessment deadlines until the last minute; as a tutor noted, "their assessment was due that very day," which left no time for targeted support.

In senior English, another student received feedback but only made minimal changes to reading comprehension tasks rather than addressing the core suggestions. This meant valuable strategies weren't applied before practice exams.

Recent Achievements

A Little Bay tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to freeze up at simultaneous equations now working through them independently, even explaining her steps aloud without prompting.

In another session, a Year 8 student who had trouble remembering formulas began recalling key content and could apply it in new problems with little hesitation.

Meanwhile, a primary school student—who was previously reluctant to ask questions—started openly admitting when he felt stuck and asked for help on tricky perimeter challenges. Last week, he finished all ten practice problems on his own after seeking guidance just once.

What they say about our tutoring

Rishi is great guy and working well with our son James. We realise it is early days but James is already more confident with his approach towards maths. Thanks for checking in with us. It is appreciated.

Anusheel been tutoring Ramin for a few sessions now and  as you said it will take a few months to notice. However, so far Ramin is happy. He is having his year 11 final exam this week and Anusheel is doing a good Job, thank you.

Hello Erica, Thanks for touching base. Isabella is great. She's gelled really nicely with Meg, who is already saying that for the first time she understands why things are done a certain way, rather than just being told to do it. I'll let you know if any issues arise but at this point I can't see any at this stage. Cheers
