Katrina
Tutor Woy Woy, NSW
As a tutor/educator the most important factor to foster with your student is that you are honest and patient. Each student develops at their own pace. My strengths include:
*I have found that working with special needs students has helped me to become a more compassionate and patient educator.
*My ability to review my own methods if progress is…

Emily
Tutor Wyoming, NSW
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is learning to adapt. Each students brain is wired completely different, and in school, there’s not always an opportunity to work one on one. So it’s crucial for a tutor to observe their students strengths and weaknesses, and use that to progress their learning. I am super patient…

Willow
Tutor Booker Bay, NSW
I think the most important thing is taking the pressure off being “perfectâ€. There is no such thing as perfection and everyone reaches success differently. What works for one person may not work for another and in standardised exams, this often gets misconstrued, adding to the weight of being the perfect student. My patience and positive…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is assist them in learning new skills.

Connor
Tutor Lisarow, NSW
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to give them the ability to take what they learn in the classroom outside of school. By teaching students the skills as well as the content, students will have the freedom to further pursue their interests. A passion for the subject material, the patience and communication skills necessary…

Christopher
Tutor Lisarow, NSW
Building a proper connection with the student in order to get them to trust and listen to you is inarguably the most important thing a tutor can do for a student. Once that relationship is built, the student and tutor can not only pass but excel in their given subject thanks to that built trust. It can really fast-track a struggling student. I'm…

Sidney
Tutor Bateau Bay, NSW
I think that as a tutor you must listen to what your student needs and give that to them. Each student will learn differently so it is extremely important that as a tutor you tailor your teaching approach to that student and their needs in order for them to learn best. As I just left school in 2021 I have a good understanding of the pressures and…

Natsumi
Tutor Woy Woy, NSW
I think that whilst having adaptive teaching methods is important, ensuring the student constantly feels supported and motivated by the tutor is vital. For me, in school no matter how much I was struggling (especially in maths) I found that having a great, understanding teacher, allowed me to not be afraid of asking ‘stupid’ questions. So for…

Tutor Woy Woy Bay, NSW
A tutors responsibility isn't to provide answers, but to guide students to find their way of learning and to provide alternative approaches when tackling problem scenarios or questions. To be a successful tutor is to develop students mindsets and enable them to eventually trust in their instinct and decide for themselves the best way to go about a…

Inside Picketts ValleyTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 5 student Olivia worked on applying area formulas for rectangles, triangles, and complex shapes by breaking them into simpler parts.
Year 7 Zac focused on mastering addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions, including work with mixed and improper fractions as well as simplifying results.
For Year 8 Yillen, recent lessons included practice with Pythagoras' Theorem in right-angled triangles and using graphs to find coordinates for triangle construction.
Recent Challenges
A Year 8 student often arrived to lessons without essential materials, such as his calculator and notes, making it harder to revise topics like Pi and follow up on feedback.
In another case, a Year 5 learner's tendency to avoid writing out working for arithmetic led to confusion—"she answered one question in three different parts of the page," a tutor observed, which resulted in errors being missed.
For a senior preparing for the HSC, slow progress was noted when homework was incomplete or focus waned during revision blocks; this limited exposure to challenging questions before exam time.
Recent Achievements
One Picketts Valley tutoring session saw a Year 10 student, Olivia, move from often needing prompts to independently writing out area formulas and substituting values without hesitation—she even tackled trickier worded problems by herself.
A high school student named Zach, who was previously quiet during lessons, has started speaking up much more when problem-solving and now takes the lead in working through challenging fraction questions that used to stump him.
In Year 5, Lilly showed a real shift: instead of waiting for hints, she stopped her tutor from stepping in so she could complete equivalent fraction and percentage tasks entirely 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 Kincumber Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Terrigal High School.
