I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be supportive. Being able to empathise with your student is important. A tutor needs to understand where a student is struggling and support them through this so that they're able to develop a thorough understanding. You also need to be able to celebrate your student's…

Finding gaps in a students knowledge and helping to fill them, facilitating a student to learn at their own pace and in their own way, and ensuring that the student can handle problems without my help once they've learned the concept. I'm good at not just teaching a student a concept, but making sure they fully understand it, even if that requires…

The most important thing is to support their learning. For example, when I ask a student to do a question and they are struggling, I wouldn't give them the steps but remind them of what to do and possibly where to start. It is important for student's to be able to develop problem solving skills and be independent with their learning. Being patient…

Once, I heard a wise thing on the internet, "You should demand more from yourself, not from anyone else, or anything." Ever since, I find myself sticking to this thing to push those I am tutoring. Also, tutoring facilitates individualized attention, through which we as a tutor can provide more guidance, and support to get most out of the…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teach them how to approach learning in a way that is self sufficient. Understanding content is important for the time, but ultimately, a tutor should leave the student with the skills to know how to understand content when the tutor is no longer there. I am patient, persistent and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to ask them for constant feedback/questions. Some students are hesitant to ask questions when they are confused, which can easily lead to them not understanding content. Hence, it is important as a tutor to actively make sure that your student actually understands what you are teaching. As a…

Not give the answers but help support the learning process and give guidance when the child needs it most. There is a difference between doing all the work for the child and actually teaching how the problem can be approached and observing how the student does it him/herself. If the child is stuck on a concept, it is my responsibility to help the…

I believe that a tutor should not just provide answers to a problem, but should guide the student to reaching that solution and ensure that they are able to understand the necessary steps. They should also be able to change the way they teach according to the needs of their students, as not everyone learns the same way. A tutor should be…

Inside Peakhurst HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Charlotte practised area and surface area calculations for both simple and composite shapes, using visual examples to support understanding.

Year 8 student Josh focused on solving linear equations and working with indices in the context of fractions, also touching briefly on geometry concepts.

For Year 10 student Mia, sessions covered financial mathematics including both simple and compound interest problems, along with strategies for breaking down worded exam questions into step-by-step solutions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 mathematics, one student's written work was described as "messy and hard to follow," particularly during algebraic manipulation; this made it easy for small sign errors to go unnoticed until the very end.

A Year 10 student, despite a strong grasp of trigonometric basics, struggled with multi-step problems because they rarely practiced challenging questions—preferring only familiar drills.

Meanwhile, in Year 6, a learner relied heavily on mental calculations instead of writing steps out, leading to frequent mistakes in surface area problems. "Mental maths is a huge time killer," their tutor observed after several sessions spent correcting basic multiplication slips rather than advancing.

Recent Achievements

One Peakhurst Heights tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who had struggled with algebraic expansion; by the end of their session, she was confidently working through problems that had previously tripped her up.

Another high schooler, after several sessions on trigonometry, began attempting more challenging questions independently and even requested extra examples to solidify new rules—something he hesitated to do before.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student who used to stay quiet now speaks up when unsure and takes notes on tricky steps so she can revisit them during homework.

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 Penshurst Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Georges River College Peakhurst Campus.
