From my own perspective, tutor's most important roles include being a friend to create a comfortable and engaging learning environment, understanding a student's thought processes to tailor teaching methods effectively, and studying alongside the student rather than just delivering lectures. I am an empathetic and caring tutor who deeply connects…

Initially, he/she must understand the background (educational / intellectual) of the student(s). Moreover, need to understand on where the student is struggling and what he/she wants to achieve.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient and empathetic with them. Learning from a tutor can be frustrating and tiresome, especially when the student is not getting it right. A tutor should have the ability to carry the student through this, encouraging and motivating them to achieve their best academic…

I think it is important to be patient with your students. Some students are slower to learn than others, and others learn things in different ways compared to the rest. If you have the patience to teach them all properly, then it really shows on their performance. I believe that one of my strength is that I take pride in teaching my students. If…

Tutor's is not about teaching students the correct answer for a particular question. But more importantly, is to understand the weakness of the student and help them to avoid the barrel effect and hence the overall performance of the student is good. This is where tutor could add value. I am patient and I am good at using analogy. I am also good…

When I tutor students, I tend not to follow the same pattern or process of learning for every kid. I believe tutor can play huge role in a student’s life when it comes to teaching them how to fish rather than serving the fish. The ability to remain calm and composed in any situation I think is my biggest strength. Having to deal with kids who…

In my opinion, a teacher must always be willing to learn those concepts for his students which they want to know. Also , a teacher must even provide them with some learning methods so that they can get grasp over any topic easily. Moreover, a teacher must always motivate a student and help him to think out of a box. Apart from that, teacher can…

I believe, the most important thing would be to make the students feel comfortable enough to share what they’re struggling with or do not understand. I feel like this is the best way to know what I can help with and what I can do for them I believe I am flexible and is able to think from the student’s perspective as I was once myself. With…

One of the most important things a tutor can do is to support the student providing them confidence to tackle the task in front of them. Second to this I think is to provide them a roadmap of how to deal with a situation where they don't know the answer or the approach to the question. Teaching that not knowing the answer to the question is ok and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make them feel more confident and comfortable with a subject. I believe this to be true as being more confident and comfortable with subjects often leads to more voluntary studying out of passion, and subsequently a deeper grasp of the content themselves. As a tutor, my strengths are the…

Inside Picnic PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sarah focused on timestables (4s and 6s) and explored nets of 3D shapes, while also practising time reading in 15-minute intervals.

Year 6 student Max worked through decimal addition and subtraction as well as solving word problems involving fractions, using diagrams to clarify concepts.

For Year 7, Olivia tackled surface area calculations for cubes and rectangular prisms and developed strategies for working backwards in multi-step word problems.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, calculator over-reliance was noted during BODMAS and surface area work—"needs to double-check inputs on the calculator before giving answers"—which led to avoidable slip-ups when transferring values.

A Year 6 student repeatedly skipped writing out working in decimal subtraction, instead changing numbers mentally; this made it harder to spot where borrowing had been missed.

In Year 10 algebra, forgetting to label units for volume and perimeter left final answers incomplete, despite correct calculations.

Motivation dips after mistakes also affected one Year 7's focus during times tables drills, resulting in slow session starts and less verbal engagement.

Recent Achievements

One Picnic Point tutor noticed a big change with a Year 9 student who used to freeze up on worded maths problems; now she tackles multi-step questions independently. In Year 11, another student struggled with BODMAS and often made order-of-operations mistakes, but last week he referred to his operation list without prompting and solved equations correctly.

A younger student in Year 5 who'd always guessed at analogue clock times can now read the minute hand accurately—she read several different times out loud without hesitation during their session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

All good! Boys very happy with Josh. He has certainly helped their confidence and that is the start to better marks.

Yes Daisy is a good tutor and seems to work great with the younger children.  I was very happy with her for David.

I've not actually met Tevita myself but both Ashleigh and my husband Adam have nothing but good things to say about him.  Ashleigh is very happy with his tutoring so far and seems to have a better understanding of the maths subjects she is doing.

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 Panania Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Picnic Point Public School.
