Having both been the tutee and the tutor, I believe that it is imperative that a tutor is supportive of the student and caters their teaching to the student's specific needs. Tutoring is only truly effective when the student is completely engaged with the tutor and I believe that this can only happen when the student believes that they are in an…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not only teach the material, but find a way to communicate it effectively. Learning is not only memorization but finding ways to understand and apply this knowledge. In my university course, as well as my experience with high school, we are taught to communicate our math and explain our…

As a tutor, it is important that you pass on the right knowledge to the student. Make them think about things by themselves instead of giving them straight away. A tutor, shouldn't discourage students if they ask a dumb question, they should resolve all their queries with a good understanding. A tutor's job is to support a student and be curious…

Local Reviews

Jason has been to our home 3 times now and we could not be more pleased. He is a very polite respectful young guy. More importantly Matthew really likes him and says is he is really helping him. Jason said today that he could see improvement. More than happy to continue.

Inside Manly ValeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Zara focused on understanding time calculations with hours, minutes, and seconds.

In Year 9, Ethan tackled volumes of prisms—especially cylinders and triangular prisms—and applied Pythagoras' theorem to solve for unknown sides.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lucy worked through differentiation by first principles to find derivatives from scratch.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, one student's past paper attempts revealed a process snag: "she checked answers before finishing the whole exam," leading to less realistic test practice and gaps in timed reasoning.

A Year 11 student avoided consulting formulas at the start of quadratic exercises, instead guessing—so errors snowballed until prompted to reference the provided formula sheet.

In a recent Year 7 session, another student hesitated to write out steps when multiplying with negatives, saying it felt slower; this made sign errors harder to spot later.

During Year 12 polynomial long division homework, incomplete working left some questions unfinished and feedback unaddressed.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Manly Vale noticed some strong shifts lately. One Year 11 student, Fenna, worked through every HSC past paper from 1997 to 2015 and began correcting her own mistakes without prompting—something she used to need a lot of help with.

Filios, also in high school, has started incorporating textbook worked examples into his study habits for the first time, which helped him tackle tricky calculus and trigonometry problems mostly on his own.

Meanwhile, Jasmine in Year 6 managed to solve several advanced "olympiad" math questions independently after previously hesitating to attempt them without guidance.

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 Northern Beaches Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Kieran's Catholic Primary School.
