I think it is vital for tutors to create the notion of studying and aiming for improvement every time within the student. It is also important to allow the study environment for the students to be carried on once they study onwards at University/Tafe/College.

To empower students to realize their full potential and become independent, lifelong learners is what I believe the most important role of a tutor. Education goes beyond just acquiring knowledge; it's about instilling critical thinking skills, fostering curiosity, and shaping positive behaviors in them. As a tutor, it's my responsibility to create…

Encouragement/Motivation. The effort you put in may not always be reflected in the marks you receive, so often people lose motivation at the site of this.

To do this, a tutor has to provide encouragements to students along…

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

We very happy with tutor Sean. He is a very good tutor. Melissa is happy Sean is her tutor.

I am very impressed with Nikki and the way in which your company operates. Emily had a session with Nikki on Monday in preparation for her algebra topic test on Tuesday and she received 72%!! She would normally get in the 40s for this type of test maybe less for algebra. We are reaping the rewards of Nikki's tutoring already. Very pleased indeed and Nikki is also a great role model for Emily in the way she presents herself and her attitude to life in general. Thank you for your exceptional service.

Peilin is fantastic! They get along extremely well and Peilin is very encouraging.

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.
