The best thing a tutor can do is to remove the fear within the students of asking even the simplest questions. Also to make them feel connected with the tutor and make the study enjoyable and comfortable. I make a good rapport with the student very quickly. My method explanations are easy to understand. I focus more on basic concepts. I never get…

In my opinion, the most important things that a tutor can do for a student would be explaining concepts to them in ways that the individual student can understand as well as aiding them in memorisation and application of the concept tutored. Moreover, I strongly believe that it is extremely important for a tutor to leave a student without self…

Personally for me, the teachers at school never went into what you really need to succeed in the HSC, and being one student in a class of 30 meant most times your questions were left unanswered. Having being tutored, having someone available to ask questions that I did not understand was very helpful throughout my schooling career, and I hope to…

A tutor needs to be able to inspire a student to strive and succeed in their chosen field, while still maintaining a personal, friendly relationship with them. A tutor must help the student to understand the coursework, but more than that must teach the student how to think (not just what to think) and how to apply that knowledge in many…

The most important thing for a tutor would be to help the student in any way possible, not only academically, but also, in life.

Provide an amiable and respectful environment wherein the student is comfortable enough to openly raise doubts and seek follow-up without any fear of judgement/ignorance.

Inside NewcombTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Eliz focused on double digit multiplication and long division, followed by an introduction to the concept of factors using targeted practice problems.

Year 8 student Mia revised linear equations and practiced graphing algebraic functions, with extra attention given to interpreting tables of values for parabolas.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Liam worked through calculus skills including anti-differentiation, applying these techniques to find areas under curves and revisiting trigonometric integration through exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

For a Year 4 maths student, repeatedly forgetting to bring essential materials like books and calculators meant valuable lesson time was spent improvising rather than consolidating division and multiplication skills.

In senior maths (Year 11), one student's over-reliance on mental calculations—especially in Pythagoras' Theorem—led to persistent errors; as the tutor put it, "She needs to remember she doesn't have to do all the maths in her head."

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student hesitated to trust their instincts during calculus questions, second-guessing themselves even when they knew the process, which slowed progress through complex integrals.

Recent Achievements

A Newcomb tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who had struggled with anti-differentiation now picking up the formula for brackets independently and using coordinates to find equations without prompting.

In another high school session, a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to attempt tougher exam questions began eliminating wrong answers methodically and used her calculator confidently for graphing tasks.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who often waited for reassurance before reading aloud started tackling new texts by herself, self-correcting tricky words as she went. Last week, she finished her chosen storybook chapter out loud without pausing for help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Austin is a positive, helpful young man who was very polite and knew his stuff. I would highly recommend him.

Tutoring is going well and Nick and Charlie are a great match! Nick has already made a great connection with Charlie.

Minh aka Truc has been fabulous in the short amount of time I have worked with her. She really has given me the confidence I needed to have a better mindset going in to an exam. From the start she was approachable and understanding. I never felt like I was being judged, she was able to answer all my questions with an explanation on how she got the answer.

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 Newcomb Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Christ the King School.
