Tutoring is very different to a typical classroom setting. Each session is unique and solely focused on the one student. This one-to-one learning experience is something many students wouldn’t normally get in a classroom. Naturally, they’ll be able to ask as many questions as they want. As a result, I’ll feel I’m making a real difference…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to show them that studying can be fun. Although it can be frustrating for students to struggle at particular topics or questions, I have learnt how to make sessions less stressful by trying to use various worksheets or methods of teaching to suit the student's needs. I have also…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make the student understand in a easy and comfortable way, even if the tutor has to repeat it so many times for them.

I believe that instead of simply passing down knowledge to students, it is crucial to provide guidance to independent learning. Students cannot rely on tutors to help them do their work forever, so I believe that apart from teaching new learning strategies, it is also important for tutors to cultivate independence in their students. I believe that…

In my opinion, the best thing a tutor can do for a student is to acknowledge the students intelligence. Einstein said it best himself "Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." And now we are learning more and more that there are multiple teaching styles…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to firstly cover any doubts that they may have in their work, then to work on those doubts.

Inside Old ToongabbieTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4, Zoe practised calculating perimeter and also worked through basic counting exercises.

For Year 10, Tom focused on fractions and consolidating operations with different denominators.

In Year 11 Advanced Maths, Grace tackled trigonometric functions including reciprocal functions and learned to sketch their graphs by hand.

Recent Challenges

Several students in Years 3–6 were set multiplication homework but did not show written working in their books, making it difficult to spot where confusion arose; as one tutor noted, "no working out was in her book."

In a Year 10 maths lesson, a student became confused by multi-step trigonometry questions—struggling most when the question wording was complex or required combining sequences.

At senior level, missed homework ("homework from previous week had not been done") meant progress stalled and extra time was needed to revisit old ground rather than moving forward with new material.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Old Toongabbie noticed one high school student steadily grew more independent during exam revision—by the end, she could select and apply integration strategies on her own, something she'd hesitated with just a week earlier.

Another Year 10 student began double-checking his working after past test mistakes; last session, he corrected errors himself instead of waiting for hints.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student who previously left homework unfinished surprised her tutor by completing every task ahead of time and arriving eager to share what she'd learned about grouping numbers.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Yes I have spoken with Chirag this afternoon. He seems really lovely, confident, competent and friendly and I think someone like this is going to be ideal for our Pops.

Zane is finally grasping concepts that he always found confusing in class. Alan has been very patient with Zane, as there is quite a bit of work to do. Zane would not have received this personal time in class, due to time, disruptions etc.. Thank goodness we are starting now before NAPLAN in 2 weeks and highschool in 2019.

Just an up date on Alexander. He is absolutely shining with Matt - fantastic tutor!

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