Economics Tutor Marsfield, NSW
I think a tutor's primary role is to simplify complex concepts, adapt to individual needs, and foster confidence. Encouraging critical thinking, setting goals, and providing a positive atmosphere are crucial for independent learning. I believe my strengths as a tutor lie in my ability to break down difficult ideas into manageable steps, making it…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student involve making the student understand the concepts at a deep level, rather than tutoring them solely for the purpose of achieving higher grades. I believe a good tutor should remove the fear of a subject, if any, from a student's mind and encourage them to learn in more detail, while providing…

To me, the most essential role a tutor can fulfill is that of an enabler and empowerer. I believe a tutor's primary goal should be to provide students with a strong foundation of knowledge and a resilient problem-solving framework, not only to tackle academic challenges but also to navigate any obstacle life may present. An empowering tutor equips…

The most important things that a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, are motivating the students to learn on their own as well as arming them with the tools and study skills. The motivation to learn is critical, since the tutor can teach the material, but at the end of the day, it is the student who has to master it. Without such…

Teach obviously! but i think if the tutor can make the lessons as fun as possible so that the student looks forward to them as something enjoyable rather than as purely work, the best results will occur.

As a tutor I believe the most important thing to do is to be able to adapt to a student's learning needs. Some students are able to learn faster, and thus, be pushed accordingly based off their learning speed ability. Other students on the other hand may need extra support when it comes to learning a concept, and I believe as a tutor I'd be able…

Spark curiosity. I think the key thing is for them to have the motivation and curiosity to go home and do the work themselves. no matter how hard I teach and they learn during the given period I have them for, it is almost meaningless or much less effective compared to a student who may not even listen in class but has extreme interest in the…

Be an attentive listener then explain the concept in the way your student will best understand it. It is imperative to first observe where your student's thought process is going wrong and subsequently resolve your student's doubts by communicating effectively and calmly. Patience, most tutors give up after their students don't follow along with…

Connor is really enjoying the sessions with James and finds him very helpful. He says James can explain things very clearly and is helping him get through his work and study more efficiently. He has a maths exam this week and is feeling more confident already.

Inside NorthwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Olivia worked on converting decimals to fractions and solving area problems using visual models.

For Year 9, Ethan focused on linear algebra and interpreting bivariate data, including reading scatterplots.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah tackled trigonometry concepts alongside finding surface area of complex solids, often drawing diagrams to support her understanding.

Recent Challenges

Several students in Years 9 and 10 struggled with showing clear, step-by-step working in algebra or measurement questions; as one tutor observed, "he still needs work on setting his work out properly and concisely," which led to missed marks when minor errors crept in.

In Year 12, a student tackling financial maths found formula substitutions confusing because she hadn't familiarised herself with the provided formula sheet before trials—this slowed her progress during practice tests.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student avoided homework tasks on linear relationships, leaving gaps that showed up during class revision sessions when connections between variables were unclear.

Recent Achievements

One Northwood tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated with linear algebra now working through multi-step equations without prompting, even explaining his reasoning out loud.

In another session, a Year 9 student who used to leave questions blank on area and perimeter has started attempting every problem and asking follow-up questions when stuck.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student surprised her tutor by identifying different types of triangles correctly after struggling to distinguish them last week; she confidently named each one during their practice set.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Alex, he helped Matt enormously. Not only the actual helping him understand how to tackle some questions but I feel Matt gained confidence going into the exams feeling like there were now no areas he had a poor knowledge of . He was particularly happy with his 2nd maths exam but in both cases he said there questions he would not have been able to answer without Alex's help.

Miah seems to be responding well to her tutoring sessions with Alex. She is feeling less conscious about her problems with maths - which is great.

Thanks for following up.  Daniel has been fantastic and we appreciate his diligence.

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