Give the students confidence and enthusiasm to solve the complex problems. I believe that a good tutor can show the students the best way they can follow and they can achieve their goals in minimum time. Using the right method of teaching for each student can make them enthusiastic about their life and they can solve their problems in their future…

My greatest asset as a tutor would be my ability to really zone in on any problems a student may have in particular. This comes from being able to put yourself in their position before answering their questions and trying to be as tailored to every students learning ability. Also to be highly motivated to impact the greater good which will be…

For me, the most important thing to do as a tutor is not only help teach class content, but share study skills, time management, note taking tips, and other ways to manage the Year 12 workload. Year 12 is not purely about knowledge, but handling pressure and staying on top of work, and I hope to communicate my experience in this. Throughout my…

Try different methods as everyone is different, find something that is tailored for the student to help them excel more.

I can speak English and Chinese…

However, along the way there, I think it's important for a tutor to help them find their own reason on why they want to do well, their own unique strengths and learning styles, guide them on how to access credible resources help them develop their own voice…

I believe a tutor can make all the difference to a student struggling with their studies. School teaching can often be mechanical and impersonal; an environment where some students find it difficult to learn. I know first hand that teaching in smaller groups or one-on-one works is much more effective at learning hard to grasp concepts. The impact…

Moreover, a tutor should guide their students in a manner in which they can focus on key areas of improvement and then work on realistic goals, which…

Be a friend. This is how I was taught by my tutors and this is how I taught as well. If there is a deeper bond than that of just a student and teacher, the student really shines. The students open up more to the teacher. This helps the teacher to plan on how to help the student. I can understand what the student needs. I can connect with the…

A tutor can clearly identify the strengths and weaknesses of students and guide them accordingly. He should focus on the strengths and minimise their weaknesses. This is very important as it gives a clear direction to the students. This can also help them realise what career path would be good for them. A tutor should also be able to help students…

Being able to formulate different approaches on the go is something a tutor should be able to do in order for the students to understand at their own pace.

I have a very applied way to understand…

Inside Phillip BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Alex reviewed simultaneous equations by forming equations from word problems and practiced solving both equations and inequalities step-by-step.

For Year 10, Sarah focused on trigonometry basics, including applying the sine and cosine rules to solve for unknown sides and angles in triangles.

In Year 11, James worked through exam-style questions involving depreciation calculations, converting between percentages and units, and rounding numbers to significant figures.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student arrived at a session with an assessment due that day, making it impossible to provide meaningful feedback before submission—"student is requested to send email…within the deadline time period."

In Year 9, another struggled to communicate progress or needs, leading to missed opportunities for targeted support.

A senior secondary student's confidence wavered after setbacks in complex maths topics; anxiety and uncertainty made open discussion difficult.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student skipped writing out working in algebra, which "hid small sign errors" and slowed their ability to identify mistakes during revision.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Phillip Bay noticed a Year 11 student who used to skip over tricky simultaneous equations now working through each step independently and checking her solutions without prompting.

Another high schooler, after weeks of hesitating to ask questions, began openly identifying where he got stuck on sine and cosine rule problems and requested extra practice.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who previously rushed mental maths is now pausing to set out her working logically before answering. Last session, she completed every question using this new approach—no skipped steps or guesswork.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Everything has been going well  - Isabella is very happy with her tutor and scheduling tutorials and communication with him has been no problem at all.  We would highly recommend him to other students.

Daniel is great and established a good relationship with James from day one.  That's the first part of the battle! We are now looking forward to James getting more confidence and mathematical skill over the remainder of this year.

The tutoring is going tremendously well.  The system you use, the high level of communication and dependability shown by Nirvan, and the teaching style is working exceptional well.  I'm very impressed with your service, and its meeting my (high) expectations.  I fully appreciate that this is not a quick fix, and it takes time.  We're committed to continuing this throughout Term 3 and 4 at least. The support and patience Nirvan is showing is really helping Emily, and he is supportive and has the capacity to challenge her at the right pace.  I've asked her why some things that we've tried to work through before have made more sense when explained by Nirvan.  She said that he works at her pace and stays with something until she understands it. Many thanks.  Your back-office communications is also highly supportive of parents and whilst you're delivering on what you've clearly explained, I find your level of communication extremely professional, supportive and consistent.

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 Malabar Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like La Perouse Public School.
