Tutor Swansea, NSW
The most important thing is bringing the the learning down to the students level. I believe by doing this not only makes learning relatable and accessible, but also make the whole experience fun and enjoyable. My strengths include being able to listen to what the student says. If they are having difficult over a particular concept, then I would go…

Tutor Buttaba, NSW
I think fostering curiosity and confidence are the most important things a tutor can do for a student. Technical knowledge is obviously extremely important, however, I think building solid study foundations is something a student will carry with them for the rest of their lives. As a current university student, I understand the frustration that…

The best things a tutor can do for a student is to listen and support. A tutor needs to know what the student's understanding is in order to help guide them through the process of learning the content. The tutor should also encourage their student, creating a safe environment where they feel comfortable to give things a go, and challenge…

To help them find and understand the answers themselves, opposed to just being told answers, or given formulas without proper explanation. This helps them not only understand there answers but also question answers they believe to be incorrect. I have good communication skills and I'm very patient. I also feel that my enjoyment for these subjects…

Tutor Point Wolstoncroft, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to recognise and stimulate wherever possible a personal interset in the subject being taught. Ideally this will literally involve relating the subject to the student's own intellectual, cultural or recreational interests, but it may simply involve alinging success in the subject to broader…

I think it is important to create a casual, comfortable learning space for students where they feel comfortable talking to me as another student rather than a teacher. I feel this benefits them by not feeling that they are in a classroom, but rather simply discussing topics of difficulty with a colleague or mentor, ultimately increasing enthusiasm…

Inside Little PelicanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 Tiffany completed a diagnostic assessment to identify focus areas in maths, then started on financial maths concepts such as wages and salaries.

For Year 10, sessions with another student covered working with indices in algebra as well as exploring English literary techniques.

Meanwhile, Year 5 Claudia worked through addition strategies using the split method and practiced subtracting tens from three-digit numbers to build her confidence with larger calculations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student showed uncertainty recalling area and volume formulas for complex shapes, which slowed problem-solving during geometry revision. "She hesitated on which formula to use in a composite shape question," as noted by her tutor, leading to extra time spent re-checking rather than practicing new problems.

In Year 8, a lack of confidence caused hesitation when answering indices questions, even though working was correct—this meant answers weren't always shared unless prompted.

A Year 3 student's workbook layout became messy during fraction practice, making it hard to check steps and spot errors quickly. Missed homework in several sessions also meant revisiting basic times tables instead of moving forward with more challenging tasks.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Little Pelican recently saw a high school student, Tiffany, shift from hesitating to ask for help to clearly communicating when she didn't understand indices problems, allowing her to work through challenging steps with more independence.

Another high schooler, Aanika, began confidently tackling unitary method questions on her own after initially feeling confused by percentage increases and decreases; repeated practice led her to approach mistakes as part of learning rather than something to avoid.

Meanwhile, a younger student, Claudia, who previously struggled with reading analog clocks beyond whole hours, can now independently tell the time even when given trickier minute readings like 6:47.

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 Swansea Library, kariyawangba—or at your child's school (with permission), like Swansea Public School.
