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. Furthermore, I believe that a tutor has to prepare themselves very well before a lesson and bring multiple techniques with them in order to make sure that the student can fully grasp an…

Tutor South Hurstville, NSW
The most important thing a tutor could probably do is to make the process of learning an enjoyable experience, and engaging the student constantly to form their own thoughts and ideas. A positive mindset to learning is the pivot to academic progress, and without enjoyment students will reach a mental plateau. High engagement with students also…

I think that students generally need a lot of support, and that a tutor should be able to provide an avenue through which a student is able to feel comfortable, supported and encouraged. I think that I’m good at connecting with students and building a relationship. I am a very enthusiastic person and I believe that lends itself to creating an…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teach them how to approach learning in a way that is self sufficient. Understanding content is important for the time, but ultimately, a tutor should leave the student with the skills to know how to understand content when the tutor is no longer there. I am patient, persistent and…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to practice empathy in order to ensure the student knows they're in a safe environment where they are allowed to make mistakes and learn from them. Being kind and really listening to what they say to you is also essential, as you don't want them to feel like they can't talk to you, as this will result in…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to ask them for constant feedback/questions. Some students are hesitant to ask questions when they are confused, which can easily lead to them not understanding content. Hence, it is important as a tutor to actively make sure that your student actually understands what you are teaching. As a…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be a friend. By doing this, it gives them someone they can relate and trust, which can help support them emotionally leading to a clearer mind and better learning outcomes. Being a friend also helps create a comfortable environment where students feel safe to ask questions,…

The most important thing a student can do for a student is help them fully understand why a concept work rather than how to do it. If a student practices answering 100 mathematical problems without knowing how to properly solve them, sure they'll be able to solve those 100 problems but if something else is thrown their way they will have no idea…

One of the most important things would be the environment the tutor and student are in. The more comfortable but slightly stressed-out the students are, the more productive the tutoring session would be. Another essential aspect of tutoring would be the ability for the tutor to deeply understand the concept themselves in order for them to simplify…

A tutor has to be understanding and respectful to the student that they are teaching, they need to realise that these individuals don't have the same level of knowledge as them at the time, so they need time to learn and understand difficult concepts and that require more explanation. The key is to build a strong healthy and friendly relationship…

A tutor or at least a teacher is someone who can give students a helping hand, perhaps a friend is too informal but someone they can relate to. I think being able to understand your student and what makes them improve or how they can improve is also essential as a tutor and a teacher. It is useless to spoon feed facts and knowledge to a student if…

Inside MortdaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student worked on adding and subtracting fractions, including changing between mixed numerals and improper fractions, as well as multiplying and dividing fractions.

Year 8 student Kirsten focused on geometry topics like identifying corresponding, alternate, and co-interior angles, plus solving for missing angles in triangles using angle sum properties.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Reece tackled advanced mechanics by practising projectile motion questions and developed skills in rearranging the subject of equations to support his HSC exam preparation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 maths, one student's written work on percentages often lacked clear steps, making it difficult to see where confusion with multiplying and dividing began—he tends to forget the process but remembers when guided.

A Year 11 physics student struggled to complete questions without direct prompting; missing out on independent problem-solving meant "finishing the questions alone was an issue."

In Year 7, another student's trouble with identifying straight angles showed up as incomplete solutions when not given examples or pointers. This left them unable to check their own answers during practice sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mortdale noticed a real turnaround for one Year 12 student who used to get stuck on modern physics problems—after focused practice, he can now handle electric and magnetic field questions with much less prompting.

Another high schooler has begun taking her own notes during sessions, something she previously avoided; this shift means she's recognising gaps in her understanding and actively working to fix them.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who was hesitant about mixed numerals now confidently switches between improper fractions and mixed numbers and breezes through decimal addition tasks without needing reminders.

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 Penshurst Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Penshurst West Public School.
