Not give the answers but help support the learning process and give guidance when the child needs it most. There is a difference between doing all the work for the child and actually teaching how the problem can be approached and observing how the student does it him/herself.

As mentioned above, tutoring gives me more space to understand a student's difficulty.

I think the most important thing as a tutor you need to be honest, be flexible, be patient, be a good listener, teach the student how to learn.

To me, the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to be firm but patient, and to allow them to solve problems/formulate ideas themselves, not just be fed information to rote-learn. I believe this style of educating enables students to develop their own confidence as they actually understand what they’re doing, not just taking a…

I consider the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be fully committed to them while fully giving the student their attention while teaching.

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student are listening to them and paying attention to their needs.

It is a tutor's job to monitor the student throughout a lesson and make sure…

The most important things that a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, are motivating the students to learn on their own as well as arming them with the tools and study skills.
The motivation to learn is critical, since the tutor can teach the material, but at the end of the day, it is the student who has to master it. Without such…

For me, I think the comfortable study atmosphere is vital for the student. The student will not be able to study efficiently in anxiety.

Also, it is significant to answer the…

Inside MascotTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 4 student Ava focused on double-digit addition and understanding place value using visual aids.
Year 8 student Andre worked through congruent triangle postulates for an upcoming maths assessment, as well as deepening his analysis of major themes in the novel 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas'.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ethan revised basic trigonometric identities and practiced entering angles on his calculator while also learning how to solve for unknown sides in triangles.
Recent Challenges
A Year 8 student repeatedly leaned on their calculator for basic multiplication and fractions, slowing progress in lessons; as noted, "he was more reliant on the calculator," making it harder to build number fluency.
In Year 10 Maths, a lack of revision meant algebra strategies taught just weeks earlier were forgotten during problem-solving—leading to hesitancy and skipped questions.
One Year 4 learner lost focus quickly when asked to count backwards by twos or fives, often leaving work incomplete.
During Year 11 English analysis tasks, superficial reading of set texts led to uncertainty unpacking key passages under time pressure.
Recent Achievements
A Mascot tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who, after struggling with algebraic manipulation, now attempts problems without a calculator and actively revises notes between sessions.
In another high school lesson, a student who used to avoid challenging questions has started requesting tougher problems and persevering through them independently, especially in data concepts and probability.
Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once hesitated during addition tasks is now confidently completing multi-digit sums on her own and consistently keeps neat notes—she even remembers to include units at the end of her answers.
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 Mascot Library (incl. the George Hanna Memorial Museum)—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mascot Public School.
