Modern History Tutor St Leonards, NSW
I think the most important thing would be to truly listen to a student, not only to hear him/her, but to actually listen. Indeed, I believe a student will never improve if they don't want to. Thus, I think it is the tutor's duty to make the student interested in the subject, to make it fun and as easy as possible, and that goes through the…

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…

Motivation and confidence are two key elements of student success, if I can support them in achieving a sense of self-efficacy regarding these elements, they are bound to see improvement. Students often know where they fall short in their work, they just need motivation to improve those areas. Once they know that they can achieve this themselves,…

I would love to be able to make a safe, enjoyable environment for students to ask questions without being scared or embarrassed, which I believe is crucial in aiding a student's academic development.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be there for them. If a tutor chooses only to communicate with a student within the designated hour-long session, there is a good chance questions will be forgotten before the next session and eventually left unanswered. This is why a clear and uninterrupted communication line is valuable…

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…

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.
