The most important things a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to be able to listen, provide feedback that the student is able to take on hand and to create an efficient learning environment. To listen to a student's goals, what they are having difficulty with and how to improve upon these difficulties - are very crucial in the role…

I believe a tutor can do for a student is to help them in any possible way. I have worked as a private tutor and I believe that there are a wide range of things a tutor can do for a student. First is to be able to teach well and not be too harsh on the student as it creates discouragement. Being able to communicate and be patient will allow the…

As a tutor, the highest priority to students to teach them to understand the motivations and purpose of study.

I believe providing academic guidance and support is the most obvious thing a tutor can do for a student. It is the first reason why any parent hires a tutor for their children. If a student is struggling with their learning, a tutor can move at the pace of their student and tailor teaching methods for that individual specifically. Secondly, a…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen and create a safe space for the student. When tutors don't listen it'll be a waste of time for both parties. This can be very hard because sometimes students may not be able to pinpoint what they don't understand or they might just feel a bit embarrassed. This is where…

It's really important to be patient and maintain an open mind. Every student is different andearns different topics at different rates. When I was young I put pressure on myself to learn every topic as well as my peers and at the same rate. This caused a lot of stress for me and made me feel inadequate if I wasn't able to meet my goal. I think…

As a tutor, it is your obligation to teach in a way that your pupil develops a passion for the topic he is learning. There is nothing worst than somebody who is bored while learning.

Inside MatravilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Arden worked on fractions and rates, with extra focus on applying these skills to typical exam content.

For Year 10, Zara practised financial mathematics concepts such as calculating interest and applying percentage increases using real-world scenarios.

In Year 11, Jack tackled advanced trigonometric identities and differentiation techniques, reinforcing his understanding through targeted questions drawn from recent past papers.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student hesitated to start extended questions in calculus, often spending extra time recalling formulas rather than confidently applying them—"she took a while to remember the formula."

In a Year 9 lesson, messy working and skipped steps in ratios meant sign errors went unnoticed until final answers were checked.

During Year 7 algebra revision, only familiar problems were attempted, leaving strategy-based challenges untouched.

For one senior student, over-reliance on practice with easy content left gaps when faced with exam-level bearing or integration tasks.

Under pressure, small mistakes snowballed into lost marks and growing uncertainty.

Recent Achievements

A Matraville tutor recently saw a Year 12 student, Lucy, who had previously hesitated with complex calculus problems now tackling differentiation and optimisation questions without waiting for hints—she's starting to place formulas independently where she once needed step-by-step guidance.

In Year 10, Ruby used to skip tricky probability tasks but is now drawing Venn diagrams herself to solve multi-part probability questions.

Meanwhile, Selena in Year 4 made a leap by identifying complicated patterns in number sequences after initially struggling to spot any regularity, then explained her thinking aloud as she solved a new time zone question on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Victoria feels that she has been benefitting from her tutoring. Athanasios has been very professional always arriving on time & Victoria is happy.

Maddie worked very well with my son, making it as enjoyable as possible for him.

Shengyang is an awesome tutor. He explains the methods really well and makes sure i understand everything before i proceed to the next question. I have improved in my maths since he has been tutoring me.

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 Malabar Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School Matraville.
