As tutors, the most important thing they can offer a student is the opportunity to improve their learning. Private tutoring differs from classes and group tutoring because tutors can efficiently find out the areas that the student struggles with the most and deal with the problem effectively. One of the most important things about being a tutor is…

I consider the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is create a space that they feel comfortable to be challenged and to learn in. It’s one thing to just help with answering questions but to encourage and motivate students to take on the difficult concepts even when they're working on their own, this is crucial and shows growth.…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to have them gain confidence with themselves in terms of excelling in school.

A good tutor should be several things. They are an accountability partner, a mentor in the area the student wishes to improve in, and they are also a source of inspiration for the student. Doing a couple questions in the lesson but not finishing the rest of the homework is not good enough. It is a huge success for a tutor to be able to encourage…

Local Reviews

The whole process was really easy. We switched sessions a few times and nothing was a problem for them, they were very accommodating.
Anne, Putney

Inside PutneyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Amber worked through a chemistry worksheet on radioactive decay and also reviewed chemical bonding for an upcoming assessment.

In Year 10, Michael focused on interpreting box and whisker plots to understand range and interquartile range, alongside tackling data processing questions from his textbook.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Liam practiced the basics of trigonometry using right-angled triangle problems, reinforcing foundational skills with targeted exercises.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled to recall past mathematics content quickly, with a tutor noting, "she needs to practice more and do the homework," as life distractions affected her focus.

In Year 12 Economics, one student was advised to review case study work before an exam but showed a tendency to only revise familiar material rather than tackle new essay structures or definitions.

For a Year 8 student, difficulty arose in remembering which formulae applied during circle problems, especially without regular revision.

When confidence dropped after setbacks—like confusing equation labels in Year 9—the urge to avoid challenging tasks crept in.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Putney noticed one Year 12 student who had struggled with writing structured business report paragraphs was able to produce her first full paragraph independently last session—a real leap from needing step-by-step guidance.

In a recent Year 11 economics session, a student who previously missed links between inflation and other objectives could now explain these connections without prompting, showing clear growth in analytical thinking.

Meanwhile, Erin in Year 6, who often hesitated with new problem-solving methods, began using a "work backwards" approach for network questions after some encouragement and stuck with it through the whole worksheet.

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 Gladesville Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Putney Public School.
