It will most definetely be making the primary/high school experience more enjoyable by valuing the importance of studying not soley imporving ones grades. I certainly overlooked the fact that involving yourself in the process of studying relays discipline, work ethic and passion for a craft. With how this can benefit a student for other…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do are build trust, encourage genuine confidence, and teach students how to learn independently. It's not just about helping them get through one subject or assignment, it's about giving them the skills and self-belief they can carry with them into everything else they do. I think my main strengths…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient with them and be prepared to explain things multiple times and from different angles. This ensures information retention is kept high and the student's self-confidence is improved. My strengths as a tutor include my ability to explain concepts in language that is easy to…

Modern History Tutor Kensington, NSW
Encourage them to pursue their dreams. Teach them to be lifelong learners. I believe you have completely understood the concept when you can simplify it entirely. So, the student should totally grasp the concepts at hand. A tutor can help the student realize their passions, and help them achieve it. Making the students interested in the subject by…

I consider that the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to make them feel confident going to class every day and not feel that they are behind their class as well as look forward to an exam to share all of their knowledge with the markers rather than dread an exam, also reducing their stress and encouraging them to enjoy school.…

To understand what my students strengths and weakness are and to approach on as a senior or superior but as a co-worker as we are both learning and adapting to problems that we face together. I'm easy going, not too strict, understand the stress of school and won't pile on the homework but still ensure enough to prove that my students understand…

Modern History Tutor Kingsford, 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…

I consider above all listening to the student and what they do and don't understand to be most important, in order so that I as a tutor can direct my attention and teaching where it is needed most. In terms of long-term goals however, I consider instilling the student with diligence, resilience and a mentality to succeed in the future to be the…

The most important aspect I believe a tutor can do for a student, is to have adaptable lessons individualised for each student. As children have different learning styles and requirements, I believe a flexible learning plan allows for a positive and motivated learning environment. As a tutor, I believe my strength is forming bonds with the…

The most important thing that a tutor can do at first, is build a rapport and a relationship of trust. In order to connect with a student, a tutor must be able to forge a strong connection that is much the same as a mentor to a younger generation. Further from this, a tutor must be able to assess the genuine ability of a student - this is crucial,…

Tutoring can be challenging, especially when it comes to motivating your learner. You see the potential they have, and they often hear about the potential they have, but they do not feel as though they got what it takes. Living in such a busy and demanding time can often make us feel the time constraints on everything we do and we expect our…

As a tutor cannot take exams or do homework for the student, the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to have faith in the student's ability and assist the student in every way possible to ensure that the student has faith in their own ability to achieve their goals. Patience, passion and empathy. Patience as it takes time to…

Instill a deeper understanding and appreciation of the subject. Those are the foundations upon which the rest is built. Strengths: I love kids and I love maths. I believe I'm quite adaptable and am happy to modify how I teach depending on the learning style of the student. Weaknesses: As of yet I still don't have much experience, particularly in…

Inside McMahons PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Soraya worked on properties of quadrilaterals and triangles, focusing on congruency tests and identifying information from these, as well as composite area problems using coordinate planes.

In Year 10, Daniel tackled trigonometry revision—including sine rule applications—and also reviewed geometry fundamentals such as angle relationships.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Mia concentrated on linear algebra through assignment work and revision sessions, plus was introduced to networks and diagrams using visual representations to solidify understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, a student revised only teacher-provided "easy" questions before an assessment; as a tutor observed, "the areas we worked on less as he felt confident were weaker in the test."

Another high schooler avoided writing out algebraic working for problem-solving, preferring decimals, and hesitated to attempt harder questions.

During a senior Skype lesson, technical issues with note visibility meant steps weren't always clear—making it hard to spot errors together.

In Year 7 geometry, incomplete written revision made it difficult to pinpoint where test marks were lost. Without consistent practice and visible working, misconceptions lingered into assessments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mcmahons Point recently saw Charlie, a Year 11 student, move from hesitating over box plots to independently constructing them and comparing data sets with accuracy.

In another session, Harry—who used to get stuck on trigonometry—now breezes through complex problems at a steady pace, rarely needing prompts.

Meanwhile, Soraya (Year 4) surprised her tutor by self-correcting an error on her homework without any hints and confidently explained how angles combine to form right or straight lines. She finished the lesson by showing a new way to solve practice test questions using her own strategies.

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 Stanton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cameragal Montessori School, North Sydney Campus.
