As a physics tutor, I think the most important thing that a tutor could do for a student is making the student feel comfortable first. Based on my opinion, students will not study efficiently if you put too much pressure on them. So I would try to be as friendly as possible so that they can ask me questions easily. I think both party would enjoy…

I'd say one of the key things is creating a comfortable space where students feel free to ask questions without hesitation. Building that trust is like laying down a solid foundation. I think instilling a genuine curiosity and love for the subject goes a long way. It's not just about acing tests; it's about fostering a relationship with the…

A good tutor will identify the student’s learning style so that they are able to present information in a way that has the greatest effect.Tutors should ascertain which building blocks the student is missing in their foundation of knowledge. Filling in these missing building blocks will establish a strong foundation on which they can build.A…

I think the most important thing is to teach them how to think in the correct way. For physics and science, understanding is much more important than remembering. Therefore, teaching them to think by themselves is very important for their future academic success. Also, personal interest is another important factor. Teachers should cultivate the…

More important than the content is the environment a physics tutor can create. By reciting the book's content, I might be able to help the student pass their grade. However, by making the student get good at learning and understanding abstract concepts, one makes them capable of tackling any subject. This is the most importat thing a tutor can do…

The most important thing a physics tutor can do for a student is not only boost their confidence in a subject, but also their enthusiasm for the subject.

When it comes to teaching new concepts, I seldom go by the book. I think it is more important to give a…

The tutor must be able to eliminate every question or doubt a student has on a subject or concept and enable the student to comprehend the information not just for scoring grades, but, for understanding and using the information in any scenario which requires it. Hence, the tutor must be able to inculcate this idea in the student and facilitate…

I think the most important things a tutor can do is to make the content understandable rather than just helping to memorise it. But also to normalise mistakes and to assert the importance of educated guessing. Any student can learn faster by giving something a go rather than waiting until they are certain. I believe I can explain and break down…

Inside O'ConnorTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Evie practised times tables she found challenging and completed class worksheets on fractions, perimeters, and multiplication.

Year 8 student Lara focused on converting between percentages, decimals, and fractions, as well as tackling algebraic equations from her recent assignments.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Owen worked through textbook problems involving probability and index laws (including surds), ensuring a strong grasp of both foundational skills and more advanced topics.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, one student missed key marks on a maths exam due to "test/exam sitting skills," such as not allocating enough time per question. As a tutor noted, "he solved problems he'd already gotten wrong in the test, but timing cost him."

In Year 8 algebra, skipping written steps led to confusion with negatives and sign errors—this was especially clear when simplifying or rearranging equations.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner doubted her answers even when correct; hesitation meant she rarely shared her thinking aloud.

During a challenging worded problem in Year 4, pausing out of overwhelm caused her to lose track of strategy mid-solution.

Recent Achievements

One O'Connor tutor noticed a big shift with Lara in Year 10, who used to freeze on multi-step worded percentage problems but now works through them methodically and even scored 13 out of 14 on her exam.

Owen, just starting Year 11, previously struggled to link experimental results to mathematical analysis in physics; after some focused sessions, he's confidently deriving the data needed for his lab report without extra prompting.

Meanwhile, Mackenzie in Year 7 made a noticeable leap with index laws—despite never learning them before, she picked up each rule quickly and started solving questions independently by the end of the lesson.

What they say about our tutoring

Annalise has settled and is working well with Sam.  He's a great tutor, very attentive and makes her think!

Lochlan's first tutoring session with Anuraj was great.  Lochlan really liked him.

Everything is running smoothly with Anja she is a great communicator and it has made life easier.

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