Tutor Swansea, NSW
The most important thing is bringing the the learning down to the students level. I believe by doing this not only makes learning relatable and accessible, but also make the whole experience fun and enjoyable. My strengths include being able to listen to what the student says. If they are having difficult over a particular concept, then I would go…

Tutor Valentine, NSW
The best things a tutor can do for a student is to listen and support. A tutor needs to know what the student's understanding is in order to help guide them through the process of learning the content. The tutor should also encourage their student, creating a safe environment where they feel comfortable to give things a go, and challenge…

Tutor Buttaba, NSW
I think fostering curiosity and confidence are the most important things a tutor can do for a student. Technical knowledge is obviously extremely important, however, I think building solid study foundations is something a student will carry with them for the rest of their lives. As a current university student, I understand the frustration that…

Tutor Belmont North, NSW
To help them find and understand the answers themselves, opposed to just being told answers, or given formulas without proper explanation. This helps them not only understand there answers but also question answers they believe to be incorrect. I have good communication skills and I'm very patient. I also feel that my enjoyment for these subjects…

Tutor Valentine, NSW
I think it is important to create a casual, comfortable learning space for students where they feel comfortable talking to me as another student rather than a teacher. I feel this benefits them by not feeling that they are in a classroom, but rather simply discussing topics of difficulty with a colleague or mentor, ultimately increasing enthusiasm…

Tutor Point Wolstoncroft, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to recognise and stimulate wherever possible a personal interset in the subject being taught. Ideally this will literally involve relating the subject to the student's own intellectual, cultural or recreational interests, but it may simply involve alinging success in the subject to broader…

Local Reviews

Inside PelicanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 Claudia practiced converting decimals to fractions and revised multiplication strategies, including simple addition of fractions.

In Year 8, Tiffany worked through the structure of essay writing and explored financial maths concepts such as wages and salaries using real-world examples.

For Year 11, Jack focused on preliminary HSC exam revision by tackling calculus problems and reviewing key topics in functions and trigonometry.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled to recall formulas for area and volume in composite shapes, often hesitating when asked to apply them without notes; as a tutor noted, "she paused for too long on the surface area question because she couldn't remember which formula fit."

In Year 11 algebra revision, one learner avoided writing out working due to a fear of getting steps wrong, erasing errors instead of addressing them.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student's workbook showed cramped calculations and scattered layout during fraction tasks—this made checking answers harder and led to repeated confusion over where mistakes had occurred.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Pelican noticed a big shift for Tiffany, a high school student who previously hesitated to speak up—she now clearly communicates when confused, rather than staying silent.

Another secondary student, Aanika, was initially confused by discount and percentage problems but showed more confidence after targeted practice, tackling these questions independently by the end of her session.

Meanwhile, Claudia in primary school had struggled to read times from an analog clock; with repeated effort, she can now confidently tell time without prompting and even reads challenging minute combinations like 6:47 on her own.

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 Swansea Library, kariyawangba—or at your child's school (with permission), like Pelican Flat Public School.
