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…

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…

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…

Tutors help foreground the development of confidence in what lies within the mind of students that enhances their ability to express thoughts and opinion essential for adult life. A tutor also becomes a trustee of the student, whom insecurities are revealed, and therefore solutions can be found based on the bond created between the two. The…

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…

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…

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…

The most important thing for a tutor is to be able to make the student want to learn the material on their own. If you instill a passion for mathematics within the student, it will cause them to grow on their own. Generally, I am pretty good at determining where the gap in the students understand lies, whether it's in the foundations of what is…

In order for the relationship between and student and tutor to bloom, the tutor needs to be a good listener, patient, honest, flexible, confident and willing to collaborate. I believe I am capable of all these items, and more. I believe I am patient, and have a creative way of teaching. I am enthusiastic in all aspects of life, and tutoring is no…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is listen to what they don’t understand and coming up with different ways that relate to that child that will help them to understand the question, and any other future questions based on the same problem.

Inside RathminesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 Tiffany completed a diagnostic assessment to identify focus areas in maths, while Year 9 Chloe practiced structuring essays and tackled financial maths topics such as wages and salaries.

For Year 10 Sam, sessions focused on calculating gross and net pay with percentages in financial mathematics, along with reinforcing these concepts through real-life examples.

Meanwhile, Year 8 Mia worked through problems involving the volume and capacity of cubes and prisms using diagrams, alongside visual literacy annotation exercises.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student had difficulty recalling key area and volume formulas for composite shapes, leading to uncertainty in multi-step problems—she was unsure which formula to use when finding volume, one tutor observed.

In Year 11 Financial Maths, forgetting to complete set homework meant class time was lost re-covering basic concepts like converting weeks to fortnights.

For a Year 4 learner, messy written work during fraction addition made errors harder to spot and slowed correction.

A lack of consistent out-of-session practice in times tables also left several students across Years 5–8 feeling less confident when put on the spot during lessons.

Recent Achievements

In a high school session, Tiffany, who previously hesitated to ask for help, spoke up whenever she felt stuck on indices and worked through each problem until she understood the process.

Another high school student, Aanika, showed new independence by tackling linear equations using strategies learned in past lessons—she solved questions without waiting for hints.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student who once relied on finger counting now adds and subtracts mentally and even drew accurate times on an analogue clock unaided during their session.

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 Wangi Library Creative Hub, wanji wanji—or at your child's school (with permission), like Rathmines Public School.
