Establishing a friendly and healthy relationship is one of the most vital aspects of tutoring among others. Its vital to tailor lessons to a student's pace, incorporating connections between the subject to the student's interests, and of course encouraging their strengths. My strengths as a tutor come from my empathetic and patient approach to…

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…

The most important thing is to make them our friends so that they can share their difficulties with us. Secondly, a tutor should use creative techniques to make concepts easy to understand. I think that i can make things easy for students to learn. I use innovative ideas to make their study interesting so that they find it more easy to understand…

Local Reviews

Everything is going fine at the moment. Jess is happy with Amandi and so am I. She is punctual, gets down business straight away, and keeps in contact with times etc. The good thing is Jess understands what she is saying and Jess said herself, it makes such a difference when it's one on one.

Inside MerrylandsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ali worked on understanding mean, median, mode, and range in maths, using school topics as a base.

For Year 8, Emily practised solving simple linear equations and expanded her skills to factorising algebraic expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Josh reviewed bivariate data analysis—comparing datasets using scatter plots—and explored correlation and lines of best fit for interpreting real-world trends.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student's work in algebra revealed steps were skipped in equation solving, which led to sign confusion and missed errors.

In senior years, a Year 11 learner was observed relying heavily on calculator shortcuts for statistics—familiarity with the function grew, but key working wasn't always shown or checked.

Meanwhile, a primary student's times tables practice remained incomplete, particularly for 6s and 7s; as one tutor put it, "he kept mixing up answers and left several questions unfinished at home."

During a Year 10 assessment task, rushed solutions meant careless notation crept in—answers became harder to follow and feedback less actionable.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Merrylands noted that a Year 10 student who used to quietly guess when stuck now asks for help without hesitation, especially when searching for easier ways to tackle algebra questions.

A Year 8 student, after struggling with equations, recently managed to solve them independently once the method was clarified—something they hadn't done before.

In primary, one younger learner surprised their tutor by reading times tables aloud confidently without needing prompts or checking notes.

Last week, another high schooler chose to break down word problems into steps on their own and started tackling long division with less guidance than usual.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Emma and I are very happy with Philip as a tutor.  All is going very well.  Phil seems very reliable and conscientious and offers appropriate support but allows Emma to work the problems herself which she appreciates.

So far all is going well , Andrew is fantastic and easy to communicate with. We have had three sessions so far and this term he will be working on the next unit of work rather than just exam revision.

All seems to be going well with Jared. We are overseas at the moment so have put tutoring on hold. Griffin said he likes Jared and is keen to continue tutoring, he said Jared is incredibly smart and always takes time to explain to him. We were worried as Griff seemed to be really attached to Nick and couldn't believe you would have someone as good to replace him. Where do you find these amazing young men?

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 Guildford Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Margaret Mary's Primary School.
