The most important thing I believe is not only being able to share knowledge with students in order to help them achieve good grades but also providing them with the skills to utilise this knowledge on a day to day basis so that they can see the relevance and importance of it. I believe that my strength comes from the fact that I am still a…

There a number of things that I think tutor can do for a student. 1. I believe that the tutor should answer almost any question the student has. 2. The tutor should help instil study habits and practices 3. Provide resources such as notes and interesting articles I feel that while I have a wide breadth of knowledge across a variety of…

When students are enjoying in what they are learning, their efficiency of leaning will improve dramatically.

A tutor possesses many pivotal roles in a student's journey to tertiary levels. I believe the single most crucial contribution a tutor can make is to fan the flame. If a student gives up on their own ability despite genuine interest, then their potential will be lost. A tutor has the unique capability, and responsibility, to recognise and…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient. Being a student myself I have been reluctant to ask questions due to fear of being labeled slow or dumb. It is also frustrating not being able to understand the subject as the class flies by the materials. However, during tutoring sessions, the tutor should be able to…

The most helpful tutors, in my experience, have always been able to explain the theory behind mathematical units in simple and understandable ways.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to develop their confidence and skills to be able to problem solve independently.

I believe that students come for tutoring because they have a unique way of understanding that most normal educational practices do not accommodate in schools.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is listening to them to truly understand what their needs and goals are.

I think enthusiasm is important - I have found in my own studies that when someone isn't enthusiastic about what they are teaching, it can easily dampen one's own ability to take on information. As i mentioned, being patient and encouraging is key to making students feel confident in their learning. Finally, being organised so that when the lesson…

It's certainly not an easy task learning…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is aid them in being confident enough to always attempt a problem.

My strengths as a tutor come in my genuine passion…

Set a path to direct the student. We can't force a knowledge into someone's head. We have to guide them towards achieving a goal, understand how they study and propose the best way for them to achieve what they desire. It's not just about teaching a concept, it's also about teaching them how to learn a concept. The lessons taught must endure and…

The most important thing for a tutor is that they explicitly explain concepts to a student. This should be done in a way that makes the most intuitive sense to the student. Also, for me, it is essential that a tutor, as well as teaching students, teaches them how to study by themselves and how to teach themselves. This should be done by providing…

Once you have the right tutor for your child, you can see quick results.
Julie, Erskineville

Inside NewtownTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Lily focused on expanding and factorising perfect squares, as well as reviewing non-linear relationships through function graphs.

In Year 10, Sam worked through the turning point of parabolas, x- and y-intercepts, and solved quadratic equations using the quadratic formula with practice problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex explored the unit circle in depth, covering radian measure, arc length and sector area, plus applications involving negative and complementary angle formulae.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, messy written work in algebra and trigonometry—"works all over the place"—led to lost marks from sign errors and made revision harder later.

For a Year 11 student, reliance on answers during practice ("more practice without looking at answers") limited genuine recall under exam conditions.

A Year 9 student's tendency to avoid explaining working aloud caused confusion when tackling probability questions; as noted, "needs improvement in explaining his working out."

Meanwhile, one primary student's disinterest at lesson start sometimes derailed focus until momentum picked up, leaving key notes incomplete or untidy by session's end.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Newtown noticed a Year 11 student who used to hesitate with exam timing now confidently plans her approach, finishing all sections without rushing or missing marks.

Another high schooler, after previously struggling with advanced geometry questions, has started talking through his problem-solving out loud and now makes minimal errors even on tougher problems.

Meanwhile, an upper primary student who once needed reminders to stay focused completed his maths homework independently this week and planned his own revision for the first time. He finished the session by neatly writing out every calculation step without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We were very impressed with Jane, hopefully Saturdays are locked in each week to continue with tutoring.

Riley is extremely happy with Andre. My son tells me "this guy's great ! Every time I call him because I have a question, he answers !" So thank you.

Sam Timbrell has worked out very well for Gabby RE Math Tutoring so far. He is patient, explains things well, and he makes certain Gabby is not confused before moving on to the next issue. He is on time, courteous and has provided extra work and work sheets as needed and appropriate.

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 Newtown Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Australia Street Infants School.
